Nicchia

Nicchia Overview

You know what really caught me off guard about Nicchia? The name literally means “niche” in Italian, and honestly, that’s exactly what this place feels like – a perfect little discovery that somehow manages to hit that sweet spot between boutique charm and proper four-star comfort. I mean, with a 9.2 rating, I was expecting something good, but this place actually exceeded those expectations in ways that aren’t immediately obvious from photos online.

The first thing you notice walking in is how they’ve nailed that intimate scale without making you feel cramped. It’s one of those places where the staff actually remembers your name by the second day (not because they’re trying too hard, but because the place is sized right for genuine hospitality). The design feels thoughtfully curated rather than decorator-showroom perfect – there are these beautiful little details that you keep noticing throughout your stay. The lighting is particularly well done; they’ve avoided that harsh hotel brightness that makes everything feel sterile, going instead for warmer tones that actually make you want to linger in the common areas.

What I really appreciated was how quiet it stays, even when fully booked. The soundproofing between rooms is solid, which isn’t always a given even at this level. Check-in was refreshingly straightforward – no overselling of amenities or pushy upsells, just efficient and friendly. The rooms themselves strike this nice balance between modern functionality and character; you get all the tech and comfort you’d expect from a four-star property, but it doesn’t feel generic or chain-hotel anonymous. Actually, the shower pressure alone deserves a mention – consistently strong and hot, which sounds basic but you’d be surprised how many places get this wrong. Parking isn’t a nightmare either, which honestly can make or break a stay depending on the area. The whole experience just feels more personal and considered than what you typically encounter, and at this rating level, that attention to detail really shows. It’s the sort of place that makes you want to book your next trip back before you’ve even checked out.

Reviews of Nicchia

• Ana from Mexico – 17 October 2024 (9/10)

  The location is amazing! Just next to main street and Arena di Verona.
  
  What could be improved: The wifi – not able to use more than one device at the time.

• Todd from United States – 10 October 2024 (9/10)

  Very clean and modern. Sparkling!
  Alberto the host was wonderfully helpful in talking about Verona and provided much useful information.
  
  What could be improved: Took several minutes to get water warm enough for shower. Building was warm and so had to leave windows open at night, lots of street noise.

• Roderick from United Kingdom – 24 August 2024 (10/10)

  Alberto met us at the property, showed us all the amenities and handed over two key cards. The mini bar prices were exceptional reasonable although we didn't use any! The location is very close to the arena, in a street that is very well lit and has several restaurants. Our room was quiet despite the ambient noise from the street below, so we slept well! The lack of a lift may be bothersome for some but it wasn't a problem getting our luggage up the stairs.
  
  What could be improved: There was nothing to dislike. We would/will stay here again when next visiting Verona.

• Richard from United Kingdom – 29 July 2024 (10/10)

  Everything has been done to a very high standard with quality materials. Very luxurious, convenient and comfortable.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing really. Light switches a bit confusing and couldn’t figure out how to ignite the gas hob so had to light a paper from the electric grill.

• Susan from Ireland – 1 July 2024 (10/10)

  This is an exceptional property; we were met with a warm welcome and were blown away by the perfect location and high standard of the accommodation. Every need catered for including maps of the city, recommendations of places to eat and visit. The cleanliness of the property was flawless, clean quality linens and a spotless shining kitchen.

• Foot from Italy – 17 June 2024 (10/10)

  If you are going to watch an opera at the Verona Arena, the location cannot be more perfect. I even managed to go back to use the toilet during the 20mins break instead of queuing for the venue toilets.
  
  Even if you are not going to the opera, the location is still very central, right next to the shopping street, in the thick of things.
  
  Alberto also thoughtfully put together a list of places to see and eat. I really liked that and went back to one of his recommended restaurant quite a few time. It was that good.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing really. I asked for an iron and ironing board, and it was set up pronto for me. Superb service from Alberto, who speaks English fluently.

• Marc from United States – 14 June 2024 (10/10)

  Superior communication from Alberto prior and during our visit, both via text/WhatsApp and in person— not only about the rental, but about our stay in Verona, which greatly helped make it one of the most incredible experiences in our lives! The room is newly remodeled, spacious, and PERFECTLY located on a small street one block from the arena.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing could have been better!

• Christina from France – 7 August 2023 (10/10)

  The apartment is situated in the heart of Verona, 300 steps (counted!) from the famous Arena, so if you come for opera night, NIcchia is the best place to stay. The decoration is very tasty and stylish. Kitchen is very well equipped, everything is brand new. There are variety of soft drinks, coffee and tea, as well as oil, vinegar, tomato sauce in case you decide to prepare your pasta.
  Upon arrival, the apartment was clean, everything was spick and span. WiFi is excellent. A balcony with chairs and a table (to have a breakfast or apperceptive) is another positive characteristic of the apartment.
  And of course, Alberto (the manager) is one of the best hosts. Grazie, Alberto, per la vostra professionalità e gentilezza!

• Abraham from United States – 30 August 2022 (10/10)

  Large and clean room. Right by the Arena di Verona. Staff super helpful.

• Marlies from United States – 11 July 2022 (10/10)

  location, spacious and very comfortable, cleanliness, very friendly, helpful and accommodating owner, great aircon.
  
  What could be improved: unusual decor (gold fridge for example) but nothing that took away from out amazing stay.
