Residenza Palazzo Brenzoni

Residenza Palazzo Brenzoni Overview

Look, I’ve stayed at plenty of places in Verona, but Residenza Palazzo Brenzoni is honestly something different – it’s one of those spots that makes you feel like you stumbled onto a secret that most tourists completely miss. The moment you walk through those heavy wooden doors, you’re basically stepping into what feels like a private nobleman’s residence (which, I mean, it probably was at some point). The lobby isn’t flashy or over-the-top, but there’s this understated elegance that just works – think original frescoed ceilings and marble floors that have been worn smooth by centuries of footsteps.

What really got me was how quiet it stays despite being right in the heart of Verona. You know how some historic hotels can feel like museums where you’re afraid to touch anything? This place strikes that perfect balance where you feel the history without feeling like you’re living in it uncomfortably. The rooms – and I stayed in one of their suites on the second floor – have these impossibly high ceilings and windows that let in this gorgeous golden light in the late afternoon. The bathroom was modern enough to actually enjoy (heated floors, which honestly saved my life during a chilly October visit), but they kept original details like the ornate mirror frames and some beautiful tilework.

The staff here actually knows the city, which sounds basic but you’d be surprised how rare that is. When I asked about dinner recommendations, they didn’t just hand me a generic list – the concierge told me exactly which nights to avoid certain restaurants because of tour groups, and suggested this tiny osteria about four blocks away that I never would have found otherwise. Parking can be a bit of a puzzle if you’re driving (the streets around here are narrow and, well, medieval), but they have an arrangement with a garage that’s maybe a three-minute walk away. The whole area gets pretty lively in the evenings, especially on weekends, but somehow the palazzo stays peaceful – I think the thick stone walls help with that. With a 9.5 rating, you’re definitely paying for the experience, but honestly? It’s worth it if you want to feel like you’re staying somewhere that matters, somewhere with actual character instead of just another nice hotel room.

Reviews of Residenza Palazzo Brenzoni

• Richard from United Kingdom – 27 March 2025 (10/10)

  Charming beautiful room in a villa in the centre of the old town. Easy access to all the main attractions of the city. What made this stay beyond exceptional however was the concierge Mattea, for whom nothing was too much trouble. As a result, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again, and a big thank you to her for being so helpful.
  
  What could be improved: Bed was a little hard for my taste, but that’s just a personal preference.

• Georgina from United Kingdom – 3 December 2024 (10/10)

  We had the most fantastic stay at Residenza Palazzo Brenzoni and it far exceeded our expectations. Everything was easy, our hosts were helpful and polite, the room had everything we could have needed and the bathroom was stunning! Being heavily pregnant it was the perfect oasis for us to return to after our cold walks around Verona. We honestly did not want to leave. Some specific points we enjoyed:
  
  – The luxurious bathroom
  – Netflix was an unexpected bonus! Given the season it was lovely to come home and watch a movie before bed
  – Clean, functional and well-equipped kitchen with kettle, induction hob, glasses etc.
  – Large, comfortable bed
  – Ample mirrors making getting ready before dinner easy
  – Great location – close to Piazza Erbe but the street itself was quiet
  – Given the age of the building we adored the beams and exposed brick. It paired well with the modern furnishings.
  – Everything was very clean and well maintained.
  
  Thank you so much,

• David from United Kingdom – 24 November 2024 (10/10)

  An exceptional spacious apartment well appointed and maintained. There is a reception facility open usual office hours. All the staff were very helpful. The accommodation is located in a very quiet location in the old town close to the Duomo. There are plenty of restaurants within a short walk. Try Bar Caffetteria Al Duomo Verona just around the corner.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing to dislike. We would have no hesitation in returning.

• Katrine from United Kingdom – 11 November 2024 (10/10)

• Siu from Hong Kong – 4 November 2024 (10/10)

  We were very pleased with the clear communication from the host and staff (especially Mattea! 🙂) via WhatsApp prior to our arrival. We received detailed guidelines and tips for our stay.
  
  We drove to the property, and Mattea was already there waiting for us. We were greeted with a warm welcome and given a small tour of the apartment. During our stay, Mattea answered all of our questions.
  
  The apartment was immaculate and very well-maintained. The host's photos accurately represent the property. This is a very romantic apartment, situated right next to the Duomo and the Ponte Pietra, and it is a 7-minute walk to Castel San Pietro (plus the cable car).
  
  What could be improved: Nothing!
  
  We understand that due to the restrictions of Verona being a 'Limited Traffic Zone,' parking is not easily available on the nearby streets. The host's garage was available for a fee, and we were driven to pick up our car whenever needed. 🙂

• Natasha from Australia – 19 October 2024 (10/10)

  Amazing apartment and amazing location in an amazing city! Brilliant host who provided an abundance of very clear information to help us pre-check in and took the extra effort to take us to the carpark where we could park our car and then bring us back to the apartment. Highly recommended!

• Sarah-jane from United Kingdom – 17 October 2024 (10/10)

  The household appliances were of good quality. There was very little noise in the vicinity which made sleeping comfortable.

• Shamsul from Malaysia – 21 September 2024 (10/10)

  Excellent service. Would definitely come back here again whenever I’m in Verona

• Caroline from United Kingdom – 4 September 2024 (9/10)

  The building is historic and the owners have maintained beautiful features such as exposed brick, shutters and beams on the ceiling. The upgraded parts are in keeping with the style of the building. It is close to the Duomo at the end of the street and not far from restaurants and shops. Can easily reach the other side of the river too. Controlled entry to building for security. Spacious and quiet too. Staff very attentive and friendly checking in via text to accommodate us with taxi bookings etc. we loved Verona and will definitely stay again.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing not to like .
