Debora’s Flat – 10 minuti dall’Arena Overview
You know what really caught me off guard about Debora’s Flat – 10 minuti dall’Arena? The name actually undersells how close you really are to everything that matters in Verona. I mean, ten minutes sounds reasonable enough, but honestly – when you’re wandering back from a late dinner in the historic center, you’ll appreciate that it’s more like a pleasant seven-minute stroll through some genuinely charming side streets that most tourists never see.
The flat itself has that lived-in Italian charm that you can’t fake – you know, the kind where the shutters have actual character and the building feels like it’s been watching over the neighborhood for decades. Debora clearly knows what travelers actually need because there’s proper wifi (tested it myself, works great for video calls), decent water pressure in the shower, and – this might sound small but trust me – really good blackout curtains that actually block the morning light when you want to sleep in after exploring the city until midnight. The 3-star rating feels about right; it’s not trying to be fancy, just comfortable and genuinely functional. That 7.7 rating makes sense too – it delivers exactly what it promises without any pretense.
What I really loved was how the location puts you in this sweet spot where you’re close enough to walk to the Arena di Verona without breaking a sweat, but far enough from the main tourist crush that you get to experience how locals actually live. You’ll pass the same corner café every morning (they do excellent cappuccino, by the way), and there’s this little alimentari just around the corner where you can grab fresh bread and proper Italian groceries if you want to eat in sometimes. The neighborhood has that authentic Veronese rhythm – busy during the day, peaceful at night, with just enough street life to feel safe walking around but not so much that you’re dealing with crowds. Honestly, after staying in places right in the thick of tourist central before, there’s something refreshing about being able to step outside and immediately feel like you’re in a real neighborhood rather than a theme park version of Italy.
To book hotel in Verona during the famous opera season at Arena di Verona, visitors should make reservations well in advance as the city attracts romance seekers and culture enthusiasts from around the world.

Reviews of Debora’s Flat – 10 minuti dall’Arena
Damian from Latvia – 7 April 2025 (8/10)
lovely apartment
Fitore from Netherlands – 23 March 2025 (7/10)
Location and it was whery cline!
What could be improved: Cooperation with the owner…
Our flight was very late, we asked the owner if we could leave our suitcases so we could have easier , but he didn't respond at all.
I didn't like this on his or her part
At 10 AM we had to leave the apartment with our suitcases.Hugo from Ireland – 11 September 2024 (8/10)
The location and the facilities
What could be improved: It says that it has a parking place, but they actually indicate a payed parking next, so there’s no parking includedAli from Italy – 3 July 2024 (9/10)
What could be improved: We had a great stay overall, but there's a small issue with the hot water. If your group is larger than 2-3 people, you might need to stagger your showers, as the hot water runs out quickly.
Daria from Russia – 22 June 2024 (9/10)
Nice location, very comfortable spacious flat, very clean, all necessary equipment
What could be improved: A bit complicated at first to understand the locking system but once you figure out, it's very convenientChristian from Denmark – 17 August 2023 (9/10)
Excellent location with a nice walk to the historical centre. The flat has everything necessary and was very quiet. Excellent communication with the host and the electronic entry system works flawlessly. Easy to find parking in the area, albeit not for free during the day (one pays for 8am to 8pm)
What could be improved: The aircon is placed in a corner, taking quite some time to cool the flat (being shaped like an L); We visited in July (+35C) so I would imagine that this is a seasonal problem). Further, a vent in the kitchen area would be great.Lena from United States – 6 August 2023 (8/10)
It was very close to the train station, about a 8 minute walk. The checkin instructions were great and the apartment was very spacious. It was below the ground floor so no real view, but we were only there one night so it didn't bother us. Very clean and nice!
What could be improved: The fridge didn't ever get cold.Imelda from United Kingdom – 1 August 2023 (8/10)
Spacious enough for family of 4,the coffee machine was great.
Location – perfect few minutes walk to the train station and lovely stroll 10-15 mins to Arena. 2 mins walk to the amazing Gelataria La Romana.
What could be improved: No iron provided.Mariia from Russia – 4 June 2023 (8/10)
The location is good, near the railway station (5min) and not far from the city centre (15-20 min walking). There is a huge eurospar supermarket in about 10 minutes from the building.
The apartment is rather clean.
What could be improved: The apartment is located in a basement floor, in general it was not an issue, just the windows are higher than usually and you feel not so cozy.Jamnik from Slovenia – 4 May 2023 (8/10)
Nice apt, close to the city center, clean
What could be improved: We did not find wifi password and TV remote control
