Castelvecchio City Center Apartment Overview

You know what caught me off guard about Castelvecchio City Center Apartment? It’s one of those places that actually lives up to its name – I mean, you’re literally steps away from the medieval castle that gives it its identity. When I first walked up to the building, I was honestly a bit skeptical because, well, apartment-style hotels can be hit or miss, but this one surprised me in the best way.

The location is what really makes this place shine, and I’m not just talking about being in the city center (though that’s obviously great). You’re tucked into this neighborhood where you can hear the church bells in the morning – not the jarring kind that wake you up angry, but the gentle ones that make you feel like you’re actually somewhere special. The apartment itself has that solid 4-star feel without being stuffy about it. Everything works properly, which sounds basic but you’d be amazed how often that’s not the case with these converted buildings. The kitchen setup is actually functional too – I managed to make proper coffee and even attempted some pasta one evening, though I’ll admit the local restaurants were calling my name most nights.

What I really appreciated was how quiet it gets after about 10 PM, even though you’re right in the thick of things during the day. The building has good bones, you know? Thick walls that keep the street noise to a minimum, but you’re still close enough to everything that you don’t need to plan your life around transportation. I found myself walking to most places I wanted to visit – the old bridge, those little wine bars tucked into side streets, even some of the museums. The 8.2 rating makes perfect sense to me because it’s genuinely well-run without trying too hard to impress you. Sometimes you get places that are all flash and no substance, but this feels more like staying in a friend’s well-appointed apartment in a city you love. The staff (when you need them) actually seem to know the area, which is rarer than it should be. They pointed me toward this tiny osteria that I never would’ve found on my own – the kind of place where locals go and tourists somehow miss entirely.

Hotels near me in Verona offer convenient access to the city center, where guests can easily walk to Juliet’s Balcony, Piazza delle Erbe, and authentic Italian trattorias.

Reviews of Castelvecchio City Center Apartment

  • Terena from United States – 30 October 2024 (9/10)

    Rooftop patio was amazing and the view were stellar. The kitchen was quaint and functional, and the couch was comfy.

    What could be improved: The elevator is a little hard to operate.

  • Elizabeth from United Kingdom – 19 August 2024 (8/10)

    Large apartment with plenty of space a decent enough apartment for the price

    What could be improved: Messaged property owner before asking how we checked in and could we check in, they got back eventually but could of been more punctual. The flat had steps or a crickety lift which was a bit old

  • Postrup from Sweden – 16 July 2024 (9/10)

    Spacey apt w two bathrooms and a wonderful view of Castelvecchio from the small rooftop terrace.

  • Clare from New Zealand – 15 July 2024 (8/10)

    Location, spacious living area, rooftop space.

    What could be improved: Electric set up in kitchen. Fuse tripped several times resulting in cold shower / power failure

  • Himasari from Indonesia – 21 June 2024 (9/10)

    Location is quite near to historical objects. The appartment is quite spacious and generous in facilities (air condition, cupboards, basic spices in the kitchen)

    What could be improved: Elevator is rather small for two people or more with lugages. It is difficult to open the elevator's door when the key has been left in the appartment after check out. There should be a notification to visitors to open the elevator before leaving the key in the apartment.

  • Paulina from Germany – 2 May 2024 (9/10)

    Everything was great. The parking garage is pretty close and very safe. The host was really nice. We had a lot of space and could have stayed a week there. Very comfortable. We especially liked that we had a balcony to oversee the street and castle infront of us. We enjoyed it a lot.

    What could be improved: – everything was fine.

  • Katz from Canada – 25 April 2024 (8/10)

    It was very clean and smelled good. The view from the balcony is amazing. Plus it's 19 minutes walk from the train station. The location was good. We liked it.

    What could be improved: No complaints

  • Stephanie from United States – 9 April 2024 (8/10)

    Great location with a balcony overlooking Verona! It was easy to walk right out of the apartment and be in the downtown.

    What could be improved: Parking was a bit challenging because it was in an underground garage about a 10min walk away, and only small cars would fit, but it was available and not too pricey per night.

  • Sir from Italy – 14 August 2023 (9/10)

    Location is great. You can have the good view on the balcony.

  • Josh from Taiwan – 7 July 2023 (9/10)

    Location and staff. Alberto was helpful and friendly, the next day we met Emily who was also very helpful. The room was what we expected when booking in an old neighborhood but was far better view and as we have experienced often in Italy it was especially clean.

    What could be improved: That I only had time to stay for one night.
