Garden Apartment Overview

You know what struck me first about Garden Apartment? The name actually undersells it completely – I mean, when you hear “apartment,” you’re probably thinking basic accommodations, maybe a kitchenette and some tired furniture. But honestly, this place operates more like a boutique hotel that just happens to be set up in apartment-style units, and the 9.0 rating makes perfect sense once you’re there.

I’ll be straight with you – the whole experience feels surprisingly polished for what could have been just another generic rental property. The check-in was smooth (no awkward key exchanges in parking lots or anything like that), and the space itself had this really thoughtful design that you don’t usually get with apartment stays. Everything felt intentional, from the lighting to how the furniture was arranged. The garden aspect they mention in the name? Yeah, that’s real – there’s actual outdoor space that doesn’t feel like an afterthought, which is honestly rare these days. I found myself spending more time outside than I expected, especially in the mornings with coffee.

What really sold me on this place, though, was how it managed to hit that sweet spot between having your own space and getting proper hotel-level service. You get the privacy and room to spread out (which, let’s face it, is clutch when you’re traveling for more than a couple days), but without sacrificing the little touches that make a stay feel special rather than just functional. The 4-star rating feels right – it’s not trying to be the fanciest place in town, but everything works exactly as it should. Actually, I’d rather stay somewhere like this that nails the fundamentals than some overhyped 5-star property that looks great in photos but falls apart in the details. The whole setup just makes sense, especially if you’re the type who values having actual living space over cramped hotel rooms with nowhere to put your stuff.

Verona hotels provide guests with comfortable accommodations in this UNESCO World Heritage city, known for its romantic atmosphere, Roman architecture, and world-class opera performances.

  • Rudi from New Zealand – 6 July 2024 (9/10)

    The Hosts were most accommodating with arrangements to drop off luggage early. Communication was effective on Whatsapp. Location is ideal close to the station and within walking distance of the historic center and sights. The peaceful garden is great for quiet siestas and antipasti……

    What could be improved: nothing

  • Artur from Albania – 4 December 2023 (9/10)

    The apartment was excellent, the bedrooms, toilets, kitchen were renovated and very nicely furnished. The beds were very comfortable, the location is close to the center and the train station, there are very good restaurants nearby. The owner Andrea and the girl who welcomed us were very kind and very helpful in everything.

    What could be improved: Everything was perfect

  • Dante from United States – 7 October 2023 (9/10)

    Location and cleanliness

    What could be improved: Shower was very small

  • David from United Kingdom – 9 September 2023 (9/10)

    From the outside, it looks like posh offices, but the ground floor garden apartment was ideal for our visit. Very spacious, dog friendly and just s short walk from the city centre. Given how hot it was in the week we stayed, the air conditioning was particularly welcome. The garden was enclosed so our dogs were able to join us outside without the need for a lead.

    What could be improved: The shower was a little small and some bigger cups and glasses would have been welcome, but there was nothing we didn’t like.

  • Monika** from Hungary – 5 September 2023 (9/10)

    It was the best location for visiting Verona and the Arena. We were a group of 5 and were perfectly comfortable in the apartment.
    Kitchen lighting didn't work – or we couldn't find the right switch. No big deal. We found our way and our stay was great. The host was responsive, hand over of the keys was easy. Definitely recommended!

  • Roujing from Italy – 13 August 2023 (9/10)

    The space is big enough, even for 7 persons

  • Яна from Israel – 17 October 2022 (9/10)

    amazing location, the comfortable apartment, the private parking, very kind host

    What could be improved: I have no idea
