Palazzo Duomo

Palazzo Duomo Overview

You know what struck me first about Palazzo Duomo? The name isn’t just some fancy marketing thing – this place actually feels like a proper palazzo, with those high ceilings and the kind of architectural details that make you slow down and look up. I mean, the building itself has this authentic Italian grandeur that you can’t fake, which honestly surprised me because so many hotels try to manufacture that old-world charm and fall flat.

The staff here really knows their stuff – not in that overly rehearsed way, but like they genuinely want to help you figure out the best way to spend your time. When I was trying to decide between hitting the main tourist spots versus exploring some quieter neighborhoods, the concierge actually drew me a little map with timing suggestions based on crowds and lighting for photos. That’s the kind of local insight you hope for but rarely get. The rooms have this nice balance of historic character and modern comfort – the bathrooms are properly updated (thank goodness), but they kept original features like the window shutters and some beautiful tilework that feels authentically period.

What I really appreciated was how quiet it stays, even when the surrounding streets get busy. There’s something about these old buildings and their thick walls that just absorbs sound differently than modern hotels. The location puts you right in the heart of things without feeling like you’re stuck in a tourist bubble – you’ll hear actual conversations in Italian drifting up from the street, not just groups of tourists. Breakfast was surprisingly good too, with local pastries that actually tasted fresh rather than mass-produced, and they make proper espresso that doesn’t taste like it came from a machine that’s been sitting around all morning. The 8.4 rating makes sense to me – it’s not trying to be the flashiest place in town, but everything works well and feels thoughtfully done. If you’re the type who wants to feel like you’re staying somewhere with real character rather than just a place to sleep between sightseeing, this hits that sweet spot perfectly.

Palazzo Duomo Accommodations

Reviews of Palazzo Duomo

• Fantastic position for exploring the city.very comfortable bed. Perfect place for a couple to stay – Donald from United Kingdom – 16 July 2025 (9/10)

  Comfortable bed, excellent shower. Very close to the centre
  
  What could be improved: We had to request cups as there was only one at the apartment
  Traffic noise, but given the narrow streets this was to be expected
  For me it was a little dark, as my eyesight is not as good as it was

• Very good – Hanna from Sweden – 3 July 2025 (8/10)

  Location, close to everything
  
  What could be improved: They didn't answer my questions and the Internet was bad

• A good place which could easily be made excellent – David from Belgium – 23 April 2025 (8/10)

  Great location, spacious apartment, comfortable furniture and bedding. Racks to dry clothes, lots of storage. Within the ZTL, but Parcheggio Centro is 1.7km away and was great and felt really secure at 10 Euro per night. Responsive hosts (until 1800 each day)
  
  What could be improved: Apartment was missing items for the number of guests. 6 beds, but only 3 wine glasses, 5 placemats, 1 steaknife… No dishcloth or dish towels… the “cutting board” was tiny and had seen better days (photo), the kitchen sink assembly was not fixed, so the whole thing kept moving around and let water through the counter-sink gap. The Apartment is not registered with the city, so the owners are not able to request tourist access to the ZTL in your behalf. May not be an issue for all, but we would have liked to offload our heavy luggage. I ended up having to do a few trips to the parking to avoid leaving anything in the car. This could easily be a 9.5/10 apartment thanks to the “shell” and cleanliness (except for the washing machine – the inside of the the rubber seal had not been looked at in a while (photo). In fact, we found 2 pairs of socks in the machine from a previous visitor), but with the missing “content”, the rating drops a little. We would still come again without question. Overall a good experience.

• Great stay for a trip to Verona – Joanne from United Kingdom – 16 April 2025 (9/10)

  Lovely location in Verona with good access to the city
  
  What could be improved: The WiFi was very intermittent

• Excellent stay, close to everything! – Kathleen from Canada – 26 October 2024 (9/10)

  Excellent location and close to all the amenities and the beautiful river. True Italian home experience and very spacious. There is a washing machine which was a blessing.
  
  Helpful owner who carried my friends’ heavy luggage to the top floor.
  
  What could be improved: We got the apartment on the top floor and there was no lift. But as I mentioned earlier, the brother helped my friends with all their heavy luggage.

• Great location and great cooking experience. – Heath from Australia – 11 October 2024 (9/10)

  The location was great and the kitchen was very well stocked to cook anything. The owner was helpful and provided good instructions and suggestions.
  
  What could be improved: The wifi wasn’t always reliable and there was some noise at night but no deal breakers.

• Superb – Abolfazl from Switzerland – 26 August 2024 (9/10)

  What could be improved: Parking in the area is a challenge. We could not get a parking place at the property. But with the instruction we could park far away and walk back to the place. Landlord offered a ride from parking place back to appartmnent but I preferred to walk

• Superb – Dajeong from Switzerland – 28 July 2024 (9/10)

  Very beautiful and specious place.
  Great location. We could go any famous attraction on foot, specially Arena in 12min.
  
  What could be improved: The drain of bathroom was'nt good.

• We enjoyed our stay in Verona! – Susan from Australia – 25 July 2024 (7/10)

  The apartment was spacious and the location was great. We could walk everywhere. The area was quiet.
  
  What could be improved: The bedroom in the loft was too hot despite an air conditioner and fan in the lounge area. A fan in the loft itself would have been more effective. Lots of stairs to the apartment.

  Excellent safe location all key spots can be walked
  Great cafes and bar very close
