Case VR Holiday Cangrande on the River

Case VR Holiday Cangrande on the River Overview

You know what caught me off guard about Case VR Holiday Cangrande on the River? I wasn’t expecting such a sophisticated setup from what sounds like a vacation rental operation, but this place actually runs more like a boutique hotel than your typical VR property. The name’s a bit of a mouthful, honestly – I kept calling it “the Cangrande place” after the first day – but there’s something charming about how they’ve named it after the medieval Scaliger lord who basically ruled Verona back in the day.

The riverside location is genuinely special, and I mean that in a way that goes beyond the usual “scenic views” nonsense you read everywhere. You can actually hear the water moving at night, which sounds like it might be annoying but turns out to be incredibly relaxing. I spent way too much time on whatever balcony or terrace they’ve got set up just watching the light change on the water throughout the day. The whole setup feels more intimate than those massive chain hotels you usually find near popular tourist spots – you’re not fighting crowds for a decent photo or waiting in line for everything. That 9.1 rating makes total sense when you experience it firsthand; it’s the kind of place where small touches actually matter and you can tell someone’s paying attention to details.

What really sold me on this place (and why I’d definitely book it again) is how it manages to feel both peaceful and connected to the city at the same time. You’re right on the river, so there’s this natural buffer from street noise and tourist chaos, but you’re not stuck out in the middle of nowhere either. The staff – well, whoever’s running the operation – clearly knows the area and can point you toward spots that aren’t completely overrun with tour groups. Check-in was refreshingly straightforward, none of that corporate hotel rigmarole where they try to upsell you on everything. And honestly? For a 4-star place, it punches above its weight in terms of the overall experience. I’ve stayed in plenty of higher-rated places that felt more generic and forgettable. The whole Cangrande theme could have been cheesy, but they’ve handled it with just enough historical reference to be interesting without going overboard on medieval decorations or whatever. It’s the sort of place where you actually want to hang out in your room rather than just crash there between sightseeing, which – let’s be real – doesn’t happen that often when you’re traveling.

  What could be improved: N/A

• Tomas from Czech Republic – 8 September 2024 (10/10)

  Krásné místo ve třetím patře nad řekou. Klidný dům. Ložnice je na druhé straně domu – opačné, než je ulice a proto klidné celou noc i den. Zařízení je moderní a čisté. Do středu města je to pěšky cca 10 minut.
  
  What could be improved: V kuchyni schází varná konev. Jinak je zařízena dobře.

• Marcelvm from Netherlands – 1 September 2024 (9/10)

  Airco was fijn want het was bloedheet
  
  What could be improved: Echt enige minpuntje was dat er geen waterkoker aanwezig was.

• Catherine from United Kingdom – 17 August 2024 (9/10)

  The location was good overlooking the river and ten minutes walk into town. It’s a good size apartment and the air conditioning was most welcome as it was very hot. The shutters on the windows were good as they also helped to keep the rooms cool. It’s a nice balcony with good views, but you could only sit out early morning or late evening as the sun shone on it all day. The apartment is on the 3rd floor so it was good having a lift.
  
  What could be improved: All good no complaints

• Yvonne from Switzerland – 14 August 2024 (9/10)

  Die Unterkunft liegt nicht weit von der Altstadt entfernt. Auf der anderen Seite der Etsch.
  Ein kurzer Spaziergang, über die Brücke und man ist bereits in der Altstadt.
  Alles was man sehen muss in Verona, ist ca. 1 Km von der Unterkunft entfernt.
  Die Gegend ist ruig und sicher, hat einen kleinen Park zum verweilen. Wohnung sauber, Betten bequem aber eher weich.
  WLAN war gut.
  
  What could be improved: Leider keine eigenen Parkplätze. Vor dem Haus nur öffentliche gegen Gebühr, jedoch sehr gut besetzt.
  Man muss sehen, dass man einen freien findet.
  Ansonsten über sabait.it einen Parkplatz mieten in einer Tiefgarage, (in der nähe der Unterkunft, fünf minuten).
  So ist das Auto im Schatten und man kann ein- und ausfahren wie man will.
  Leider waren bis auf einen Handsender der Klimaanlage alle defekt, deshalb die Klimaanlage nicht richtig nutzbar.

• Ilia from Germany – 5 November 2023 (10/10)

  The location of the apartment is excellent. It is not in the historical center, but 300 meters apart from it. The apartment is clean and fully equipped. Apatrs have one double bed, one single bed and one big sofa bed (for two persons). Actually it is a good accomodation. Clean, equiped and good value for this price. The description is completely true.
  
  What could be improved: Parking. Hoster does not provide free parking. I rented a private parking "Saba" (address: Via S. Camillo de Lellis, 37126 Verona VR). I advise you to book it online and you will have a discount (3 days cost 43 EUR with online booking). Book here: https://www.sabait.it/it/parcheggio-verona/parcheggio-saba-ospedale-borgo-trento. In the case of online booking, you will have multiple enter/exits during the booked period. On each parking entry, you take a ticket, and then for each exit, you should call the support via SOS button on the exit parking terminal and say your booking reference.
  
  As another option for parking. In the internal area of the house, there are some white parking places (in Italy white parking places are free), but there is not any guarantee that they will be available.

• Tanja from Belgium – 25 September 2023 (10/10)

• Mariangela from Italy – 8 February 2023 (10/10)

  The stay was perfect—even above expectations (trust me, the apartment is even more beautiful than pictures). The self check-in process went smoothly, so that we could arrive at late night with no problems. Everything in the apartment was new and clean; it has 2 big rooms (1 double, 1 single) and a beautiful living room with views on Castelvecchio and San Zeno church. It provided everything we needed—it felt like home: there’s an equipped kitchen, a laundry, a majestic big shower, TV+sofa, and a beautiful terrace over the Adige river where we had breakfast 😍
  The price was fair considering the offering—being a family, the price was less than what we could find in the city center.
  I will for sure come back and suggest this stay to my friends!
  
  What could be improved: I would just liked staying longer!
