Hotel Description
Nestled along the picturesque banks of the Adige River, the four-star Casa Archi – Balcone sul Fiume offers an enchanting retreat in the historic heart of Verona. This exceptional property, boasting an impressive 8.6 rating from satisfied guests, perfectly combines elegant comfort with an authentic Italian experience. Located at Via del Bersagliere n°8 in the charming San Zeno district, the hotel occupies the first floor of a classically styled building, providing guests with a tranquil sanctuary while remaining conveniently connected to Verona’s most treasured attractions. The name “Balcone sul Fiume” (Balcony on the River) hints at one of the property’s most alluring features – breathtaking views of the flowing Adige, inviting guests to immerse themselves in the romantic ambiance that has made Verona famous throughout the world.
The San Zeno neighborhood, where Casa Archi proudly stands, represents one of Verona’s most authentic and historically significant areas. Just steps away from the magnificent Basilica of San Zeno Maggiore, a masterpiece of Romanesque architecture dating back to the 12th century, guests find themselves immersed in the rich cultural tapestry of the city. The location strikes a perfect balance – peaceful enough to escape the hustle of tourist crowds yet remarkably accessible to Verona’s highlights. A leisurely ten-minute stroll takes visitors to Juliet’s House and the ancient Arena di Verona, where summer opera performances fill warm Italian nights with melodious enchantment. The Piazza delle Erbe, Verona’s vibrant market square surrounded by medieval and Renaissance buildings, lies just beyond, offering a glimpse into the daily rhythm of local life. Meanwhile, the riverside location provides excellent opportunities for romantic evening walks along the Adige, where the city’s historic bridges and illuminated buildings create a magical atmosphere that captures the essence of Italy’s romantic spirit.
What truly distinguishes Casa Archi – Balcone sul Fiume is its dedication to creating a personalized experience for each guest, reflected in its outstanding 8.6 rating. Each thoughtfully designed room showcases a harmonious blend of traditional Italian elegance and modern comfort, with many accommodations featuring the promised balcony views over the gently flowing river below. The attention to detail extends beyond the aesthetic – from the carefully selected furnishings that honor Verona’s artistic heritage to the warm, attentive service that has earned the hotel its stellar reputation among travelers. The property’s intimate size allows for personalized attention that larger establishments simply cannot provide, creating an atmosphere where guests feel less like temporary visitors and more like welcomed friends returning to a cherished Italian home. Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway in the city of Romeo and Juliet, a cultural exploration of northern Italy’s treasures, or a refined business trip with a touch of Italian sophistication, Casa Archi – Balcone sul Fiume stands as an exceptional choice for discerning travelers seeking to experience Verona’s timeless charm from a position of comfort, beauty, and authentic local connection.

Mrv81 from Spain – 7 December 2024 (8/10)
The view and the attention to details in the apartment
What could be improved: The optional parking is quite messy – the spot is not granted and you don't get your money back if it's occupied.
Very little toilet paper, and one of the towels had a big black atainSuzanne from United Kingdom – 13 October 2023 (9/10)
Amazing location and view
What could be improved: NothingDavid from United Kingdom – 19 June 2023 (9/10)
lovely quiet location by the river. good to have air con and we’ll equipped throughout. easy walk to main attractions and good local bars and restaurants
What could be improved: nothing all goodDenise from United Kingdom – 9 February 2023 (9/10)
This is a lovely little apartment in Verona. It was warm and cosy on our arrival and stayed warm for our whole stay. It’s right by the river and you can sit on the balcony and enjoy the views. The bed was comfy and the apartment was quiet so we slept really well. Communication with the owner was excellent and she provided brilliant instructions for the self check in (which we always prefer). I would recommend the car park on offer for €10 per day. It’s really convenient so made unloading luggage to apartment very easy and it’s behind a locked gate. The apartment is in a great location for exploring Verona and it’s close to lots of bars and restaurants. We’re already looking forward to our return
What could be improved: We liked everythingJames from United Kingdom – 23 November 2022 (9/10)
It was a beautiful old building in a beautiful city. Good communication from the owner. Close to the centre and a little supermarket and great bakery round the corner if your cooking yourself
Brent from New Zealand – 28 September 2022 (9/10)
the location and view from the small balcony are superb. Paola was a great host and very helpful. Easy walk to historic Centre and closer still the heart of San Zeno great for bars & restaurants.
What could be improved: The mezzanine bed is a bit difficult and low height, you just have to be more careful.Dave from United Kingdom – 9 August 2022 (9/10)
Loved being by the river and taking the short walk in to the old town.
I didn't get their name, but the help we got was great including cushions for opera, luggage storage and sorting taxi.
We would definitely use the apartment again if back in Verona.
What could be improved: Need to be agile to use all of the stairs. Hot water a little hit and miss. Neither an issue for us this trip.Judith from United Kingdom – 10 October 2022 (8/10)

The location is top, the room is nice with all what you need. The host is also nice 😊
What could be improved: The heat did not worked, there was 18^ in the room in December. If it wasn’t this issue, everything it was perfect.
