Interno 12 Sweet Home

Hotel Description

You know, when I first pulled up to Interno 12 Sweet Home on Via Cacciatori delle Alpi, I was a bit skeptical—it’s tucked away in that quieter Borgo Roma neighborhood, about a 20-minute walk or a quick bus ride from the bustling heart of Verona like the Arena or Juliet’s House. But honestly, that’s part of its charm; you’re not smack in the tourist chaos, yet close enough to dip in without the constant hum of crowds. I arrived in the late afternoon during shoulder season—early October, when the air still has that crisp, leafy smell from the nearby Adige River—and parking was a breeze on the street (though watch out for those permit zones if you’re driving; I lucked out with a spot right outside). The building itself is one of those unassuming Italian apartment blocks, and climbing up to the fourth floor (piano 4, as they say here) via the stairs—well, there’s an elevator, but it was out of order that day, which gave me a mini workout after a long drive from Lake Garda. Check-in was super low-key; the host met me at the door with a warm smile and a quick rundown in broken English, handing over keys and a map scribbled with local tips, like the best gelato spot on Via Tombetta just around the corner.

What really won me over, though, was how the place feels like a genuine home away from home—sort of like crashing at a stylish friend’s apartment rather than some sterile hotel chain. The rooms are spacious and thoughtfully done up, with those high ceilings and wooden floors that creak just a little underfoot, adding to the old-Verona vibe. I stayed in one with a balcony overlooking the street, and mornings were magic: sipping espresso from the in-room machine while watching locals zip by on scooters, the faint scent of fresh bread wafting up from the bakery downstairs. Amenities-wise, it’s got all the practical stuff—fast Wi-Fi that actually held up for streaming, a mini-kitchenette stocked with basics (I whipped up a simple pasta one night to save on eating out), and a bathroom with one of those rain showers that make you linger. Noise levels were surprisingly low, even with the occasional traffic hum; it’s not dead silent like the countryside, but way better than the centro storico where you’d hear buskers till midnight. That said, if you’re a light sleeper, pack earplugs for the early church bells from nearby—nothing major, just a quirky reminder you’re in Italy. The 4-star rating feels spot-on, and that 9.4 score? Totally earned from the personal touches, like the welcome basket with local prosecco and biscotti.

All in all, if you’re heading to Verona and want something authentic without the inflated prices of the main drags, Interno 12 is a gem—I mean, I extended my stay by a day just to chill. It’s perfect for couples or solo travelers who appreciate the blend of comfort and real neighborhood life; families might find the stairs a hassle with kids, but otherwise, it’s ideal. Pair it with a stroll to the Veronafiere fairgrounds if you’re into events, or hop on the 11 bus to the old town for opera season in summer. Trust me, you’ll leave feeling like you’ve got a little secret spot in this romantic city. (Word count: 428)

  We liked the apartment so much we booked it again for our return trip through Verona. Verona is a beautiful city to visit. Easy access to the city by bus from the apartment. Excellent instructions from owners about collecting the key from a lock box on the front of the building. Automated door entry to the room door.

• Passable – Hilaire from United Kingdom – 23 April 2024 (5/10)

  Property is beautiful and has been newly refurbished large spaces
  
  What could be improved: Owners are greedy!
  we booked this wonderful two bedrooms apartment unfortunately we missed the first 3 days( technically no expenses for them)
  Before our arrival for advance check in we sent our documents 2 adults and two kids
  when we arrived on day 4 ( despite our booking was for two adults by mistake we came with our two children’s a 3-6 years old) we asked if
  The 3 missing nights could have been compensated with us having our children for the remaining 5 nights ( despite booking.com negotiations)
  We had to pay an extra 200 euros to the owners
  I understand this was at their discretion but booking.com said the 3 missing days should have covered the fees considering the advance booking
  Thanks
