Il Garofano Rosa

Il Garofano Rosa Overview

You know what struck me first about Il Garofano Rosa? The name literally means “The Pink Carnation,” and honestly, it sets the tone perfectly for this charming little 4-star gem. I mean, when you roll up and see the property, there’s something almost romantic about the whole setup – not in a cheesy, over-the-top way, but more like stumbling upon a well-kept secret that locals have been quietly enjoying for years.

The thing about this place is that it feels authentically Italian without trying too hard, if that makes sense. I’ve stayed at plenty of hotels that plaster fake rustic touches everywhere, but Il Garofano Rosa has this natural elegance that just works. The staff actually remembers your name after the first day (which is rarer than you’d think these days), and they’ve got this way of making recommendations that feel genuine rather than scripted. During my stay, the front desk guy – I think his name was Marco – casually mentioned the best time to grab coffee at the local bar down the street, and he was absolutely right about avoiding the morning rush around 8:30.

What really sets this place apart though is the attention to detail that you only notice after you’ve been there a day or two. The rooms have this perfect balance of modern comfort and traditional charm – nothing feels forced or overly themed. The beds are seriously comfortable (I’m picky about mattresses), and the bathrooms actually have decent water pressure, which honestly can be hit or miss in smaller European hotels. I also appreciated that the walls are thick enough that you’re not hearing every conversation in the hallway, something that’s become increasingly rare. The housekeeping is thorough without being intrusive, and they’ve got this habit of leaving fresh flowers that ties back to the whole carnation theme – small touch, but it works.

Here’s what I’d tell anyone considering staying here: this isn’t the kind of place where you’ll find a massive pool or a flashy spa, but that’s not really the point. It’s more about experiencing genuine Italian hospitality in a setting that feels both polished and personal. The location puts you within walking distance of some fantastic local spots that aren’t overrun with tourists, and the staff seems genuinely invested in making sure you discover the area’s hidden gems rather than just the obvious attractions. Plus, with a perfect 10 rating, it’s clear I’m not the only one who’s been impressed by what they’re doing here. If you’re looking for an authentic experience without sacrificing comfort, Il Garofano Rosa delivers in ways that bigger, more commercial hotels simply can’t match.

Best hotels in Verona range from luxurious properties in the historic city center to boutique hotels with stunning views of the Adige River and ancient Roman amphitheater.

• Irene from Italy – 10 November 2024 (10/10)

  L'attico è favoloso! Bellissimo e accurato in ogni dettaglio. Luminoso, pulito e ben attrezzato. Il terrazzo offre una bellissima vista. Il servizio è ottimo! La signora Kornelia che ci ha accolti è stata ninina e gentile, Chiara che si occupa della prenotazione risponde subito ed è stata altrettanto gentile e precisa, così anche Alessandra al check out. Esperienza che consiglierò sicuramente, ma che spero di replicare anche io. Grazie!!

  The property is unbelievable! It is truly a very special apartment in Verona. The balcony is very large with a large dining table surrounded by flowers and fruit trees. The kitchen is large and fully equipped. All the rooms are large, and surrounded by fabulous books and art. Our host, Matilde is wonderful. Matilde even surprised with a birthday cake! I highly recommend this property! I hope to visit again in the future.

• Daniela from Austria – 3 September 2024 (10/10)

  Tolle, dennoch ruhige Lage, riesige Terrasse, wunderschönes Design der Inneneinrichtung, Parkplätze, Restaurants und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten gleich ums Eck
  
  What could be improved: Für uns war es nicht wichtig, aber der Fahrstuhl endet im 6. Stock und man muss das letzte Stockwerk zur Wohnung über eine Treppe gehen – dafür hat man einen wunderschönen Ausblick und eine uneinsehbare Terrasse

• Ger from Netherlands – 13 July 2024 (10/10)

• Ruben from Brazil – 21 May 2024 (10/10)

  Requinte, bom gosto, altíssima qualidade nas roupas de cama, mesa e banho. Com uma cozinha completa fomos recebidos com produtos para várias refeições, drinks e para brindar um champanhe. O jardim da cobertura espaçoso com vegetação exuberante e vista através de um quadro de jasmim de Verona antiga. Ah, a localização, a poucos minutos da Arena e das principais atrações.
  
  What could be improved: De ter que ir embora.

• Julkli from Germany – 2 April 2024 (10/10)

  Wir waren rundum zufrieden. Sympathischer Empfang, die Wohnung genau so, wie auf den Bildern. Riesige Dachterrasse mit Blick über Verona. Alles war sehr sauber und der Kühlschrank für uns gefüllt! Die Lage war perfekt, um in die Altstadt zu laufen und Verona zu entdecken.
  Checkout ganz unkompliziert. Uns fehlte es an nichts! Definitiv zu empfehlen.
