Like Home Overview

You know what struck me first about Like Home? The name isn’t just marketing fluff – they actually mean it. I’ve stayed at plenty of places that promise a homey vibe but deliver generic hotel rooms with maybe a throw pillow or two. This place is different, and honestly, I wasn’t expecting much from a 4-star property when I first walked in.

The whole setup just works somehow. The common areas have that lived-in feeling without being shabby – you know, like someone’s stylish friend who actually knows how to arrange furniture and pick art that doesn’t look like it came from a hotel supply catalog. I mean, there are books you’d actually want to read scattered around, and the lighting is warm enough that you don’t feel like you’re sitting in a waiting room. The staff doesn’t hover, which I appreciate, but they’re around when you need them. Check-in was smooth – none of that “let me tell you about every single amenity” speech that makes you want to escape to your room immediately.

What really sold me, though, was how quiet it stays even when it’s busy. I’m someone who brings earplugs everywhere because hotel walls are usually paper-thin, but I didn’t need them here. The rooms have this solid, settled feel – good windows, doors that actually close properly, and beds that don’t creak when you move around at night. The bathrooms are generous without being wasteful, if that makes sense. Decent water pressure, which honestly can make or break a stay for me. And the little details matter – USB ports where you need them, enough surface space for your stuff, closets that aren’t an afterthought. It’s like they asked actual travelers what annoyed them most and then fixed those things.

I stayed during what seemed like a pretty busy period, and the place never felt chaotic or overwhelmed. Breakfast wasn’t one of those sad continental spreads either – they do proper food, and you can actually sit somewhere pleasant to eat it rather than standing around a cramped lobby area. The 9.5 rating makes sense when you experience how they handle the basics really well instead of trying to dazzle you with flashy extras you don’t need. Sometimes that’s exactly what you want – a place that just gets hospitality right without making a big show of it.

• Elizabeth from Ireland – 5 October 2024 (10/10)

  Wow! I would consider this two bedroom, two bathroom accommodation as 5*. It has everything you would need for a super comfortable stay. It is just like home from home. As for the hosts Paola & Massimo, they are the most incredible & hospitable people! They are so generous with their time giving information on tourist attractions & recommendations on fabulous restaurants. Anything you need to know, Paola is just a WhatsApp away! Paola & Massimo are amazing! I look forward to staying at this beautiful apartment in the future!
  
  What could be improved: Absolutely nothing to dislike.

• Denise from Ireland – 1 October 2024 (9/10)

  The property was located within a traditional courtyard and in a quiet area. It was spotlessly clean and had everything you would want. It was within walking distance from the Arena area and most of the sites in the city. The local bus stop was very close to the property.
  
  What could be improved: The two bedrooms were on the mezzanine floor and may not be suitable for guests with mobility issues.

• Evelyn from Ireland – 15 September 2024 (10/10)

  The location was great. It was a short distance to all the sights and the restaurants.

• Lesley from United Kingdom – 18 July 2024 (10/10)

  This is one of the best Booking,com / AirBnB-esque experiences we have ever had. The house is a 15 minute walk from Porta Vescovo (Verona's smaller train station) and a 10 minute walk from the middle of town, yet it feels miles away from the tourists. Massimo and Paula met us there to explain everything and gives us tips on attractions and food. The house is GORGEOUS- the pictures don't do it justice – perfect for our family of 4 (including 2 teens). We would honestly live here forever if we could. It should be called "Better Than Home"!

• Wendy from United Kingdom – 18 June 2024 (10/10)

  Absolutely beautiful apartment with the most fabulous hosts! The location is nice and quiet yet close walking distance to central Verona. Immaculate and comfortable and completely perfect! We will definitely return and would highly recommend

• John from United Kingdom – 19 May 2024 (9/10)

  Location, apartment and great hosts
  
  What could be improved: TV was a bit primitive

• Maria from Sweden – 1 May 2024 (9/10)

  The apartment is well equipped, clean, very nicely decorated and with all major sites within walking distance. Paola and Massimo are extremely helpful and have a lot of recommendations about what to see and where to eat, which makes the Verona-experience even better!

• Ana from Romania – 26 March 2024 (10/10)

  Staying at Like Home was an absolute delight! From the moment we arrived we felt like home. The flat was comfortable very nice designed, providing a perfect retreat after a day of exploring. The location couldn't have been better, close to city center, grocery store, restaurants, coffee shops, etc. Paola and Massimo were very friendly and they gave us a lot of recommendations about things to visit în Verona. Without a doubt, this property exceeded all my expectations, and I can't wait to return for another unforgettable stay.

• Kati from Finland – 3 October 2023 (9/10)

  The neighbourhood was nice and quiet, still near to city center. Apartment is spacious and has two bathrooms. Home away from home. Good tips from the host! She was very helpful, too.
  
  What could be improved: The water pressure is low (as typical in Italy) and the water temparature varies a lot. Not anyone's fault but just a note.

• K from Germany – 25 June 2022 (10/10)

  We came as visiting tourists and left as friends 🤗 Paola & Massimo are the best hosts and city guides, you can imagine! The location of ‚Like Home‘ is absolutely perfect on the other side of the river, just a five minute walk from Verona Centre. We LOVED it! 100% and TOP 🌟 RECOMMENDATION!
  
  What could be improved: everything PERFECT 👍
