Residenza Longhena Overview

You know what? Residenza Longhena is one of those places that completely catches you off guard – in the best way possible. I’ll be honest, when I first walked up to this 3-star spot, I wasn’t expecting much. The entrance is pretty understated, almost like you’re stepping into someone’s elegant home rather than a commercial hotel. But that’s exactly what makes it work.

The thing about staying here is that you really feel like you’ve stumbled onto something locals might actually recommend. The rooms have this lived-in charm – I mean, they’re clean and comfortable, don’t get me wrong – but there’s character in the details. The furniture feels substantial, not that flimsy hotel stuff you’re afraid to lean on. My room had these heavy wooden shutters that actually blocked out the morning light (which, honestly, was perfect after those long Italian dinners that stretch until midnight). The bathroom was compact but well-designed, and the shower had proper water pressure, which you can never take for granted when you’re traveling.

What I really appreciated was how quiet it gets at night. You’re close enough to hear the city’s gentle hum, but far enough from the main tourist thoroughfares that you’re not dealing with rowdy groups stumbling back from bars. The staff – well, they’re the kind of people who remember your name after the first day and actually seem to care whether you’re enjoying yourself. They gave me some restaurant recommendations that were absolutely spot-on, places I never would have found on my own. Actually, the woman at the front desk steered me away from a tourist trap I was about to walk into and pointed me toward this incredible little osteria instead.

I stayed there in late spring, and the neighborhood really comes alive during those evening hours when everyone’s out for their passeggiata. There’s something magical about stepping out of Residenza Longhena right into that rhythm of local life. The building itself has this weathered elegance – you can tell it has stories, but it’s been maintained with care. The common areas are minimal but thoughtful, with good lighting for reading and comfortable seating that doesn’t feel staged.

Look, it’s not going to blow you away with fancy amenities or over-the-top luxury – the 7.3 rating tells you it’s solid, not spectacular. But sometimes that’s exactly what you want. It’s the kind of place where you can settle in, feel like you belong in the neighborhood for a few days, and not constantly worry about whether you’re getting your money’s worth. The value is in the experience, not the thread count of the sheets (though those were perfectly fine, by the way). If you’re looking for a genuine base to explore from, rather than a place to spend all your time, this could be exactly what you need.

To book a hotel in Verona during major cultural festivals, travelers need early planning as this romantic city draws visitors eager to experience its Shakespearean heritage and medieval charm.

Reviews of Residenza Longhena

  • 3371alessandro from Italy – 14 October 2024 (8/10)

    Posizione strategica per poter visitare la città a piedi, parcheggio in zona con ampia disponibilità non a pagamento.
    Pulizia dell' appartamento, c'ha anche se datato è stato fatto trovare in ottimo stato.

    What could be improved: struttura un po' nascosta, e datata, per la posizione e comodità meriterebbe una rinfrescata

  • Laura from Italy – 3 October 2024 (7/10)

    Gentilezza e disponibilità dell'host, posizione vicina al centro, struttura ben pulita

    What could be improved: Il letto ha alcune doghe fuori posto che lo rendono scomodo, odore di chiuso/fumo

  • Caroline from Switzerland – 21 September 2024 (8/10)

    The apartment was nice and well located, we easily found parking spaces on the street and the person who welcomed us was kind. Washing and drying machines, really convenient.

    What could be improved: The apartment is a little damp. We didn’t know where to find coffee capsules, the machine wasn’t a brand we know and there was only one capsule when we arrived (+ one decaffeinated) so we had to go out for coffee but there is one just at the end of the street.

  • Krešimir from Croatia – 31 August 2024 (6/10)

    What could be improved: None of the beds (queen size and foldable couch) are comfortable.

  • Francesca from Italy – 24 August 2024 (7/10)

    L’appartamento è arredato in modo moderno e dotato di tutti i comfort.

    What could be improved: Alcune doghe del letto matrimoniale si spostavano, facendo risultare scomodo il letto

  • Jana from Czech Republic – 13 August 2024 (7/10)

    Blízko do centra. Funkční klimatizace.

    What could be improved: Byt v přízemí, byl zatuchlý. Rozkládací sedačka na spaní dost nepohodlná.

  • Laurence from France – 8 August 2024 (9/10)

    The host was really helpful and considerate. The apartment was very clean and everything was ok. The location is great, there is a supermarket nearby and a great Pasticceria for the breakfast. We enjoyed our stay in this apartment.

    What could be improved: Nothing in particular.

  • Romina from Italy – 3 August 2024 (7/10)

    Arredamento pulizia lavatrice e asciugatrice

    What could be improved: Mancanza di prodotti igiene (es bagno doccia, shampho), in cucina scottex o altro per poter asciugare

  • Niclas from Sweden – 21 July 2024 (6/10)

    Ganska billigt och relativt nära stationen. Skönt med AC

    What could be improved: Inte så sköna sängar. Bäddsoffan barnen sov i var väldigt hård.

  • Prepeluh from Slovenia – 18 September 2023 (9/10)

    The host was very welcoming and sweet! He showed us the apartment and gave us the keys. The communication was smooth and he was always there to help if we needed anything. The apartment was clean and neat.
