Cittadella Apartments

Cittadella Apartments Overview

First Impressions

Stepping into the Cittadella Apartments, you get that immediate sense of being somewhere genuinely central — not just “close to things” but actually in the thick of it. The address on Via Gino Trainotti puts you right inside Verona’s historical centre, and honestly, that’s not something you take for granted in a city this beautiful. It’s a three-star property, so don’t walk in expecting a grand lobby or a concierge in a tailored suit — but what you do get is a solid, well-positioned base that makes a lot of sense for the way most people actually travel.

Location & Neighbourhood

This is really where Cittadella Apartments earns its keep. The location score sits at 8.7, which is genuinely impressive, and once you’re here you understand why. The Arena di Verona is within easy walking distance, the Piazza delle Erbe is practically on your doorstep, and you’re surrounded by the kind of narrow cobblestone streets that make you want to wander without a plan. Couples especially seem to love it here — the location rating for two-person trips hits 8.9, and I mean, it’s not hard to see why. There’s something about exploring Verona hand-in-hand through streets like these that just works.

The Apartments

The apartment-style setup is actually one of the more practical things about this place. Having your own space — a little kitchen, room to spread out — makes a real difference, especially if you’re staying more than a couple of nights. It’s not a flashy setup, but it’s comfortable and functional, and you’re not paying for things you don’t need. The overall guest rating of 7.6 reflects a place that does what it promises without overreaching, which, honestly, is more than you can say for some hotels in this price range.

Exploring from the Doorstep

One of the things I’d tell anyone staying here is to just walk. Seriously — leave the map in your pocket for a bit and let the city happen around you. From Via Gino Trainotti, you can reach Juliet’s House in minutes, duck into a local bar for a morning espresso, or find yourself at the river before you’ve even properly woken up. Verona’s historical centre is compact enough that having a well-placed base like this means you’re never really far from anything worth seeing. It’s the kind of location that makes a short trip feel surprisingly full.

Why Guests Love It

At the end of the day, Cittadella Apartments appeals to travelers who want to be in the real heart of Verona without spending a fortune or dealing with the impersonal feel of a large hotel. It’s a three-star stay, and it wears that honestly — the value comes from where you are, not from extra frills. If you’re the sort of person who spends most of your time out exploring and just needs somewhere comfortable and well-located to come back to, this place genuinely delivers. For a romantic city break in particular, it’s hard to argue with the combination of location, space, and price.

Travelers should reserve a hotel in Verona at least two months ahead for major events like opera performances and wine festivals, ensuring the best rates and prime locations near popular romantic sites.

Reviews of Cittadella Apartments

• Viktorija from Lithuania – 2 April 2025 (7/10)

  Everything was not bad, but the smell inside was very strong and unpleasant. Also the door handle was broken, so we had some difficulties getting in… Besides that the room location was perfect:)

• Navotnik from Slovenia – 15 February 2025 (8/10)

  Very clean and big and comfortable bad
  
  What could be improved: The pillows were very flat

• Dejana from Serbia – 8 October 2024 (8/10)

  Great cooperation, the host was very kind and professional, convenient location.

• Christopher from Australia – 2 September 2024 (5/10)

  Not applicable. See below.
  
  What could be improved: Have to qualify this review in that we did not end up staying cancelling on the morning (outside of refund window) when we found out there was no luggage storage facilities – this is why there are neutral answers to all the questions. This was one of 10 different places we stayed on a road trip in Italy, where the check-in was frustrating (photos of front and back of passport photos having to be sent online), and I enquired both days ahead and on the morning of our stay regarding check-in, with the answer that 'you will receive instructions'. It was on the last enquiry I also asked whether we can store luggage where they apologised and said 'not available'.
  After some argumental messages back and forth, they did offer to ask the cleaner to get in early to facilitate this, but given it was in an insulting message: 'If the "big" problem is the your luggage ….' – I was done with this site.
  This exchange aside, my issues were:
  1) based on 3 road trips through Italy (and approximately 25 different accomodation sites), I have never before come across accomodation that will not allow you to store your luggage prior to check-in, including other self-check in apartments.
  2) it is not clear in the Booking.com description that this is 'self-check in' – other apartments we stayed in had key collection (and luggage storage) in a nearby locale.
  If I had initial knowledge of 'no luggage storage facilities' ahead of the time, I would not have booked this accomodation – there is no mention of this not being availabe on the Booking.com description.
  This is indeed their right to have this policy – my issue is they are not clear on it, and it is outside my experience and expectation for accomodation I book through Booking.com
  For me, this property may very well belong on Air B&B, but is not suitable for Booking.com, as they do not make the self-check-in aspect of it clear in the description.

• Cristina from Spain – 25 August 2024 (3/10)

  Near both city center and train station
  
  What could be improved: I cannot understand why It is advertised as an unique apartment when It is clearly comprised by two facilites.
  
  Meaning, you rent 1/2. If the other one is rented by others Who make a lot of noise, you wont be able to get any sleep. On top of that, the electricity went off and the control panel was in the other apartment, so that the only way to solve It is to wait for the maintenance workers to come and bother the others.
  
  Beds actually umconfortable.

• George from United Kingdom – 15 August 2024 (4/10)

  Very modern apartment just outside Verona city walls.
  
  What could be improved: Communication with owners was terrible. After contacting them to ask directions and instructions, they just replied “you will have everything on the day”. Plus the apartment had the most uncomfortable beds. Awful beds that hurt your back! Luckily we only stayed one night.

• Austin from United Kingdom – 6 June 2024 (5/10)

  The tiled floor was very nice
  
  What could be improved: The kitchen is useless / no microwave/ weak selection of equipment/also no extraction fan anywhere .
  Door between 2 apartments might as well be made out of cardboard because it doesn’t stop any noise coming from next door neighbours even with the curtain pulled across.
  The shower is tiny also if you shower for more than 5 mins it will be cold for your other guest ( no extraction fan in bathroom / altowel rails to dry towels not on so damp towels
  Smart Tv isn’t that smart ( not even tuned to local channels , turned on once never again
  Sofa bed is just as comfortable as sleeping on a bed of metal springs also sagged in middle with over use
  Bed duvet cover was a sheet with no poppers or buttons wrapped over duvet .
  Parking is on public street ( keep car locked as some weasel stole my sunglasses out my car after I left it unlocked for 10mins )
  Erico the owner couldn’t understand why I wasn’t happy

• Sharee from New Zealand – 19 February 2024 (3/10)

  What could be improved: The bathroom smelt very very bad and unfortunately made the whole apartment smell. The sofa bed in the double room was not fit for a comfortable sleep. Definetly not a room for five people so suggest this is not marketed for 5 people.

• Artests from Russia – 17 December 2023 (7/10)

  What could be improved: Too much noise from neighbors, you can even hear their conversations. Raw sewage smell in the bathroom. Not very comfortable kitchen and not enough kitchenware.

• Ursu from Romania – 23 November 2023 (8/10)

  The apartment is spacious, intimate, it was ideal for a family with a child. Both the bed and the sofa bed, very comfortable, we slept very well. The apartment is properly equipped with everything you need. The host Enrico is very attentive and prompt with his guests. Close to the Arena and the rest of the tourist attractions.I recommend the location.
  
  What could be improved: The smell
