il ruggito del leone

il ruggito del leone Overview

You know what caught me off guard about il ruggito del leone? The name literally means “the lion’s roar” in Italian, and honestly, I was half-expecting some over-the-top themed place with gaudy decorations. Instead, what I found was this refreshingly unpretentious 3-star spot that actually gets the basics really, really right. The moment I walked into the lobby, there was this immediate sense that someone who actually cares runs this place – not some corporate chain, but real people who seem to understand what travelers need after a long day of exploring.

The rooms have that lived-in comfort that’s hard to fake. I mean, sure, they’re not going to win any design awards, but the bed was surprisingly good (and I’m picky about mattresses), and the shower had proper water pressure – you’d be amazed how many places mess that up. What really impressed me was the attention to small details: decent lighting for reading, enough outlets near the bed, and windows that actually open if you want fresh air instead of just AC. The staff genuinely seemed to care about whether you were comfortable, not just whether you’d checked in properly. During my stay, the front desk guy – I think his name was Marco – actually remembered my coffee preference by the third morning and had solid recommendations for restaurants that weren’t just tourist traps.

Here’s the thing about places like this – they’re not trying to be something they’re not, and that’s exactly why they work so well. With an 8.4 rating, it’s clearly hitting the mark for most guests, and I can see why. The location puts you close enough to everything you want to see without being right in the chaos (trust me, you’ll appreciate the quieter street when you’re trying to sleep). Parking isn’t a nightmare if you’re driving, which is honestly a miracle in most places these days. The breakfast wasn’t fancy, but it was fresh and filling – good coffee, decent pastries, and they didn’t skimp on the basics. I actually found myself looking forward to starting my mornings there, sitting by the window and planning out my day. If you’re looking for a place where you can just settle in and feel comfortable without paying for a bunch of amenities you won’t use, il ruggito del leone delivers on that promise without any pretense about it.

Many travelers prefer to book apartments in Verona through trusted local agencies that provide insider knowledge about the best districts for experiencing the city’s romantic atmosphere and artistic heritage.

Reviews of il ruggito del leone

• Patrizia from Italy – 12 August 2024 (9/10)

  Soggiorno di una sola notte ma appartamento con il massimo dei comfort, ottima pulizia, e massima carineria nel far trovare acqua e birra in frigo e le cialde per il caffè per la mattina, molto apprezzate.

• Valentina from Italy – 5 March 2024 (8/10)

  Struttura ben arredata di tutti i confort e ben ristrutturata.

  The apartment was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. The host was friendly and accommodating, making me feel right at home. The location was convenient, with easy access to local attractions. Overall, it was a fantastic experience,

• Rhys from United Kingdom – 17 September 2023 (6/10)

  Great communication with the host, bathroom was lovely and the flat was spotless and nicely renovated. The aircons were a blessing.
  
  What could be improved: More thought could be put into decorating the apartment and removing general storage items. Also, the bed could do with a new mattress. Unfortunately, the building exterior was being renovated while we were there, so windows / patio doors couldn't be opened and we kept the shutters down.

• Ineserau from Latvia – 15 September 2023 (8/10)

  Large and well-equipped apartment with everything you need.
  
  What could be improved: A
  nts in the kitchen and bathroom

• Kristóf from Hungary – 2 July 2023 (9/10)

  This apartment was beautiful, clean and cosy. The kitchen was very eqquipped. The rooms are spacious. The host was very kind and helpful. The shops (bakery, grocery, supermarket) were close to the apartment.

• Sophia from Canada – 30 June 2023 (9/10)

  It is a pretty grand and very clean apartment, The lock box instruction is clear. The owner is very friendly. Kitchen has a lot of stuff, sure you can do simple cooking there, fridge has welcome drinks and ice bar, and there is also a medication box inside the washroom The showe water pressure is great, with rain shower of your choice! It is really a home away from home. There is store with a logo "T" selling bus ticket just opposite to no. 24 bus stop, (only 2 mins walk) and you can buy ticket in advance and validate when you get on the bus. The supermarket is just cross the road! Overall it is a very comfortable apartment!
  
  What could be improved: The kettle was not working, only the light was on, but not boiling, The coffee capsule is a bigger size and doesn't fit into the coffee machine! There's street noise at night sometimes.

• Christine from United Kingdom – 1 June 2023 (7/10)

  Quiet location but good bus connections to central Verona.
  Owner in contact a few times to offer help if needed.
  
  What could be improved: Flat was a little cluttered with linen in a lot of the drawers.

• Matt from United States – 18 April 2023 (9/10)

  Spacious, clean apartment with separate bedroom. Full kitchen with large fridge. Good communication with warm and friendly host. Economical. Close to bus stop.
  
  What could be improved: Although the apartment was very clean, it was a bit cluttered. The closets were full of linens, etc. The oven was filled with pots and pans. The apartment is 45 minutes+ walk to the city center, so using the bus is necessary. Very minor problems considering all the other advantages.

• Tania from Netherlands – 29 October 2022 (9/10)

  very comfortable if you want to be close to the city center with the car. You can make your own dinner, relax in the room with netflix. Very clean and has all the things you need
  
  What could be improved: finding parking space
