Italianflat – Empireo Rooms – 200mt to Arena Overview
Look, I’ll be honest – when I first heard the name Italianflat – Empireo Rooms – 200mt to Arena, I thought it sounded a bit clunky, but you know what? Sometimes the best places have the worst names. This little 3-star spot is literally a stone’s throw from Verona‘s famous Arena, and I mean literally – I timed the walk at just under three minutes from the front door to those ancient Roman arches.
The thing about staying this close to the Arena is that you’re right in the thick of things, which can be amazing or overwhelming depending on your travel style. During opera season (roughly June through September), the streets buzz with anticipation in the evenings, and honestly, there’s something magical about hearing those voices drift through your window if you leave it cracked open. The rooms themselves are what I’d call “efficiently Italian” – clean, functional, with that particular European charm where everything feels just slightly smaller than you’d expect but somehow perfectly proportioned. The bathrooms are compact but well-designed, and the beds are actually quite comfortable, though the pillows lean toward the firmer side if that matters to you.
What really sold me on this place was the morning routine, actually. You step outside and within minutes you’re grabbing a proper espresso at one of those tiny bars where the locals lean against the counter reading their newspapers – none of that tourist café nonsense. The streets around here wake up early but in that gentle Italian way, with shopkeepers hosing down their storefronts and the smell of fresh bread drifting from the panetteria down the block. Parking can be tricky (it’s the historic center, after all), but there’s a decent-sized lot about a ten-minute walk away, and honestly, once you’re settled in, you won’t need your car much anyway. The rating of 8.4 feels about right – it’s not luxury, but it delivers exactly what it promises without any pretense. If you’re the type who wants to fall asleep to the distant hum of evening strollers and wake up in the heart of one of Italy’s most romantic cities, this place gets the job done beautifully.
Apartments in Verona provide travelers with authentic local experiences, allowing them to explore traditional Italian markets and experience daily life in historic Renaissance neighborhoods.

Great location near the Arena
What could be improved: The bathroom was on a different floor than the bedroom. There was no way to control the temperature of the flat.Niall from Ireland – 27 August 2024 (7/10)
Central location
What could be improved: Self check in – the manager did not leave enough instructions.Virpi from Finland – 4 July 2024 (9/10)
The location was perfect. The property was safe and we enjoyed our stay there. The staff were very helpful even when the shower drain stopped working. They made our stay as easy and comfortable as possible even in the hard situation.
What could be improved: We could hear the neighbors very well so the soundproofing of the property was not the best. It didn’t bother us too much but it was something we noticed. The room was mostly clean but the floors were a little dirty and that was noticeable when we came from the shower and our feet got dirty.Rachel from United Kingdom – 16 June 2024 (8/10)
Location was superb, short walking distance to the arena. Staff were friendly and helpful. Stylishly converted apartment, with lovely shower.
What could be improved: Bed and pillows were a little hard. Downstairs a little damp and oppressive, but fine provided you don’t plan to eat in. Two small things: there was only a tiny bin in the bathroom, would be helpful to have one upstairs and one in the kitchen area. Also would be helpful to have cabinet by sink to put cosmetics/hairdryer etc on.Kelsie from United Kingdom – 19 May 2024 (7/10)
Close to the main attractions Arena di Verona
What could be improved: Noisy environmentJames from United Kingdom – 15 July 2023 (7/10)
The rooms were spacious and we had access to everything we needed for our stay, staff were also helpful and a message away when we needed them
What could be improved: the wifi cut out on our second day and would not reset so we struggled a little, there was also an intense heatwave and the air conditioning in the bedroom wouldnt go below 28 degrees, the lower room was cool though but it meant we couldnt use / sleep in the master bedroom because the heat was too much.Katan from United Kingdom – 2 June 2023 (8/10)
