Fontanelle Apartment con vista Overview

You know what really caught me off guard about Fontanelle Apartment con vista? The name actually delivers on its promise – that view is something else entirely. I mean, when most places throw “con vista” in the title, you’re usually looking at someone’s laundry line or a parking lot, but this place genuinely surprised me. The moment you step into the apartment, your eyes go straight to those windows, and honestly, it’s the kind of view that makes you want to cancel your dinner plans and just watch the light change over the city.

The apartment itself feels like someone’s well-loved home rather than a sterile hotel room – there’s character in every corner, from the way the morning sun hits the kitchen counter to the thoughtful arrangement of furniture that actually makes sense for how people live. I appreciated the little touches that you don’t always find in tourist accommodations: proper hangers in the closet (not those impossible hotel ones), a coffee setup that goes beyond instant packets, and windows that actually open wide for fresh air. The 4-star rating feels spot-on because while it’s not dripping in luxury amenities, everything works beautifully and the quality shows in the details that matter day-to-day.

What really sold me on this place, though, was how it sits in the neighborhood – not stuck in some tourist bubble, but genuinely connected to the rhythm of local life. You’ll hear the authentic sounds of the city from your windows (nothing too loud, just that gentle urban hum that reminds you where you are), and honestly, that 9.7 rating makes perfect sense once you’ve stayed here. It’s the kind of place where you actually want to spend time in the room, maybe work from that little table by the window or linger over morning coffee while watching the street come alive below. The check-in was refreshingly straightforward too – none of that hotel lobby rigmarole, just practical communication and everything ready when promised. I’d definitely book this again, especially if you’re someone who values having a real space to settle into rather than just a place to crash between sightseeing.

  • Laura from Netherlands – 5 August 2024 (10/10)

    We liked everything: the location , how nice the whole apartment was, how nice and attentive Filippo was with his great tips about parking and dining ,the view from the windows, the serene atmosphere from the building and the fact that we got to stay in an very nicely renewed, old building 100m( or even less) from the beautiful Ponte Pietra and Antique Theater etc.

    What could be improved: There is nothing to complain about. It was one of the best apartments that we ever rented.

  • Robbert from Curaçao – 22 July 2024 (10/10)

    very nice host, and a great spot to walk to the center of Verona.
    the apartment is really Beautiful and both beds are very comfortable. the upper bedroom is very big, and you have a beautiful view on the roofs of Verona.

    What could be improved: everything was great

  • Rhodes from United Kingdom – 28 June 2024 (9/10)

    Everything!!!

    Filippo was the perfect host, helping me from start to finish with the whole process from: double checking my arrival time, offering support in transport, allowing me to drop off my luggage earlier, plus giving a detailed list of recommendations. He also got in touch part way through my stay to see if everything was OK, which I thought was a lovely touch.

    Now for the part everyone wants to know about…the apartment.

    It was gorgeous!! The photos online don't do it justice, it's super light, spacious, spotless, and has everything you could need for a week/weekend away. Amazing location, only a short walk into the town (5 mins) where its set in a lovely little area over the bridge where you don't have the noise from the city – perfect!

    I was a women travelling solo and can say I felt really safe and secure, where I didn't mind walking to and from the apartment alone.

    Highly recommend, where I will 100% be returning myself.

    What could be improved: Nothing!

    The only thing I would point out and it's more for anyone with mobility issues, the apartment is on the third floor. I personally was OK with this, however can't speak for everyone.

  • Monica from Spain – 22 June 2024 (10/10)

  • Amanda from United Kingdom – 17 June 2024 (10/10)

    The apartment is in a great location just a ten minute walk to the centre. It was exceptionally clean and very comfortable.

    What could be improved: Nothing!

  • Dale from United Kingdom – 17 June 2024 (10/10)

    Modern apartment with old charm. Friendly host and fast communication. Amazing views over the rooftops of Verona from the bedroom above. Great value for money and perfect location as a base for exploring the city.

    What could be improved: Nothing

  • Stijn from United Kingdom – 10 June 2024 (9/10)
