Italianflat – Duomo Deluxe

Hotel Description

I remember stumbling upon Italianflat – Duomo Deluxe last summer during a whirlwind trip through northern Italy – you know, the kind where you’re hopping from Venice to Milan but Verona sneaks in and steals your heart. It’s tucked away at 3 Piazza Broilo, right in the historical center, and honestly, finding it felt like discovering a secret. I arrived late afternoon after weaving through the crowds around Piazza delle Erbe – that bustling square with all the market stalls selling fresh cherries and those aromatic truffle oils that make your mouth water just walking by. The place is basically a stone’s throw from the Duomo, so you hear those cathedral bells chiming softly in the mornings, which is kind of magical if you’re not trying to sleep in (well, they do start early, around 7 a.m., but it’s Verona – embrace it). Check-in was a breeze; no stuffy front desk, just a friendly host who handed over the keys with a quick chat about the best nearby osteria for aperitivo. I mean, it’s not a massive hotel, more like a deluxe apartment setup in a renovated old building, so expect some character – creaky wooden floors and exposed beams that give it that authentic Italian flat vibe.

What really won me over, though, was how it balances that old-world charm with modern perks without feeling forced. My room overlooked the quiet piazza, and let me tell you, waking up to the scent of espresso wafting up from the corner café below was pure bliss – none of that generic hotel breakfast smell, just real Italian life happening outside your window. The bed was ridiculously comfortable, with those crisp, high-thread-count sheets that make you linger a bit too long, and the bathroom had this rainfall shower that washed away the day’s dust from strolling along the Adige River (pro tip: cross Ponte Pietra at sunset for killer views of the hills). It’s rated a solid 9.3 for a reason – four stars, but it punches above with little touches like a stocked minibar of local wines (try the Valpolicella; it’s from just outside town) and super-fast Wi-Fi that actually works for streaming your shows after a night at the Arena opera. Parking’s a hassle in the center, as you’d expect – I ended up using a nearby garage on Via Emilei, about a five-minute walk, which cost around 20 euros a day, but it’s worth it to ditch the car and explore on foot. Oh, and if you’re there in July, the streets get lively with festival crowds, but the flat’s thick walls keep the noise down – mostly. One minor gripe: no elevator, so those stairs can be a workout with luggage, especially after indulging in too much risotto at that hidden spot on Via Mazzini.

All in all, if you’re chasing that immersive Verona experience – think romantic walks to Juliet’s balcony (it’s cheesy but fun) or grabbing gelato at Gelateria Savoia just around the corner – this place nails it. It’s not for folks wanting a sterile chain hotel; it’s for travelers who appreciate the quirks of staying in the heart of it all. I’d go back in a heartbeat, especially off-season in spring when the crowds thin out and you can snag a quieter vibe. Trust me, you’ll leave feeling like you’ve lived a little slice of Italian life.

  L’appartement était génial !

  Ma machine à laver et le sèche linge très pratique
  
  What could be improved: Tout était parfait, il manquait juste un fer à repasser mais c’est un léger détail

• Maria from Argentina – 6 December 2024 (8/10)

  Era hermoso! La vista, el barrio, la ubicación, las comodidades del lugar! Sin dudas volvería a quedarme.
  
  What could be improved: Si bien los baños eran hermosos, tuvimos varios inconvenientes que creo deberían revisar. En uno de los baños el agua de la ducha no calentaba y en el otro se rebalsaba el agua de la ducha, por lo que no quedaba otra que ponerse a trapear todo el piso por el agua que salía de la ducha. Sacando esos detalles, mi puntuación sin duda sería 10/10

• Veronica from Italy – 24 September 2024 (10/10)

  Bellissimo appartamento in posizione centralissima, è davvero tutto raggiungibile a piedi. Sotto casa trovare un ottimo ristorante e svariati bar con terrazze sul fiume. La casa è dotata di tutti gli utensili necessari per cucinare ed è arredata elegantemente. Meglio parcheggiare nei garage multipiano o nei parcheggi a pagamento poiché essendo centro storico non si può lasciare l’auto sotto al condominio. All’arrivo abbiamo avuto un problema con la pulizia del pavimento che è stato prontamente e immediatamente risolto dallo staff. Appartamento vivamente consigliato!

• Sjors from Netherlands – 15 June 2024 (9/10)

  Appartement ligt op een geweldige locatie. Het is ontzettend schoon en heeft alles wat je nodig hebt. Beste plekje ooit in Verona!
  
  What could be improved: Er zijn twee slaapkamers waarvan een bed ontzettend hard is. Zo hard dat het pijn doet en dat je de bonellvering voelt. Het andere bed is wel hartstikke goed.
  Maar hier moet wel iets mee gedaan worden. Ik heb er zelfs een dekbed ondergelegd.
