Porta Palio Luxury Apartment

Porta Palio Luxury Apartment Overview

You know what caught me off guard about Porta Palio Luxury Apartment? The name actually undersells it – I mean, when you hear “apartment,” you’re thinking maybe a basic studio with a kitchenette, right? But this place feels more like staying in someone’s incredibly stylish Italian home, assuming that someone has impeccable taste and a serious budget for furnishings.

I’ll be honest, the location in Verona is what initially drew me here (well, that and the 9.2 rating, which honestly seemed almost too good to be true). But walking up to the building, you get this immediate sense that you’re somewhere special. The entrance has this understated elegance – no flashy signs or tourist-trap vibes, just quality everywhere you look. The check-in was surprisingly personal too; instead of feeling like you’re processing through a hotel machine, it’s more like being welcomed into someone’s home. The staff actually remembers your name, which sounds small but makes a huge difference when you’re dragging yourself back after a long day of exploring.

What really sets this place apart is how they’ve nailed that sweet spot between luxury and livability. The apartment itself – and I’m talking about genuine space here, not those cramped European “suites” that barely fit a suitcase – has these beautiful original details mixed with modern touches that actually work. The kitchen isn’t just for show either; I actually cooked a few meals there using ingredients from the local markets, and everything functioned perfectly. The beds are ridiculously comfortable (I’m talking sink-in-and-disappear comfortable), and the bathrooms have that spa-like quality without being pretentious about it. You’ll find yourself taking longer showers just because the whole setup feels so luxurious. The neighborhood itself is quietly residential but you’re close enough to everything that matters – I could walk to the major sights without feeling like I needed to plan an expedition, but far enough away that you’re not dealing with crowds of tourists stumbling past your windows at midnight. Parking was surprisingly manageable too, which anyone who’s driven in Italian cities will tell you is basically a minor miracle. I’d definitely stay here again, and that’s saying something because I’m usually the type who likes to try somewhere new each trip.

Reviews of Porta Palio Luxury Apartment

• Terry from Canada – 15 March 2025 (9/10)

  We liked the apartment, modern, clean , comfortable bed ,nice linens. We rated the shower as the best one in Italy of the places we stayed ( nice water pressure and hot ) ! Our host was responsive and met us at the apartment to check our documents ( and explain the extensive sign in and collect a damage deposit ) . The location was good , we walked from the train and we were able to walk all the sights. A secure place and has an elevator as well ( no lugging luggage up stairs ) . Loved the two bathrooms. Nice windows and glass doors . Recommend and would return .
  
  What could be improved: The check in was extensive. I did not like that we had to give a damage deposit that is not returned to us for 7 to 14 days ( still waiting for that even though we left the place perfect . They assure us we will get it back ). I found this odd since no one did a check of the apartment before with us present and no one came to inspect it with us when we left ) . We have given damage deposits at hotels before, however, it has always been returned at day of checkout .
  Some blinds on the living room and kitchen windows would be nice for privacy. Some olive oil for the kitchen is always nice .

• Elisa from United States – 11 September 2024 (9/10)

  good location, clean and comfortable rooms.
  
  What could be improved: I think it is not acceptable to force customers to throw the garbage at the end of the stay. The cans were almost a block away.

• Frank from United States – 9 August 2024 (8/10)

  The space, location, access to local public transportation, access to coffee shops, stores, and tourist sights.
  
  What could be improved: The air conditioning was not working correctly. The staff tried to fix it but it never cooled off as advertised. We slept without bed covers the whole stay.

• Benny from Israel – 14 May 2024 (9/10)

  Modern and very well appointed and equipped apt.
  Grohe faucets Viliroy Bosch sanitary appliances.
  Bedrooms facing the back.
  Close to the train station and the historic center
  
  What could be improved: The main issue was with the waiting time for checkin. I waited 3 quarters of an hour.
  Half an hour outside in the busy street and 15 minutes more in the stairs after someone went outside the building.
  When the girl Chiara came she was very nice and later during my stay assisted in a very responsive way.
  I also didn’t like their rigorous checking process.
  The apt was on the first floor on a very busy street so when you open the windows for some air it is very noisy.
  Still the insulation is superb and once you close the windows you hear nothing.

• Jane from United Kingdom – 7 September 2023 (9/10)

  Great central location
  
  What could be improved: All brilliant
  A magnifying mirror in the bathroom might have been a good addition

• David from United Kingdom – 30 August 2023 (9/10)

  Clean apartment in a great location. 2 bathrooms always useful. Nice size living/kitchen area and good comfortable beds. Plenty of local bars and restaurants within a few hundred yards and only a short walk to Piazza Bra.
  
  What could be improved: A few more coffees in the kitchen and maybe some recommendations of places to eat and drink in the welcome pack would have been useful.

• Daciana from Romania – 22 August 2023 (10/10)

  the place and location are perfect. The host is great.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing.

• Ekaterina from Russia – 9 July 2023 (10/10)

  A bright and comfortable apartment in the center of Verona, very modern and clean. Ideal for 3 people. We would like to come back. Everything was just perfect.

• Scott from United States – 3 July 2023 (10/10)

  We were not sure if the apartment would live up to the pictures that were posted. It was everything we had hoped for…..clean, fresh, and great location. Perfect for 3 people. While located on a busy street, the windows were completely soundproof and had black-out shutters. The host, Matteo, was indispensible in recommending shops and restaurants…..and calling for a taxi on our departure. He is a "Super" host.
  
  What could be improved: Since we were in the middle of our trip to Italy when we arrived in Verona, having a washing machine in the apartment was fabulous. We weren't quite sure how the clothes were supposed to dry? Maybe a drying rack of two would have been helpful. We probably didn't read the property description thoroughly enough to realize that the ensuite bathroom was in the smaller bedroom. Not a problem for us, but might be for someone else.
