Residenza Scaligera

Residenza Scaligera Overview

I’ll be honest – I almost walked past Residenza Scaligera the first time I was looking for it. It’s one of those places that doesn’t scream “hotel” from the street, which actually turned out to be part of its charm. This 3-star gem sits quietly in Verona, and once you step inside, you realize you’ve found something genuinely special rather than another cookie-cutter accommodation.

What really struck me about this place is how it feels more like staying at a well-appointed Italian home than a typical hotel. The common areas have this lived-in elegance – you know, the kind where everything looks effortlessly put together but you can tell someone actually cares about the details. The staff here genuinely seem to know their city, and I mean really know it. When I asked about dinner recommendations, I didn’t get the usual tourist trap suggestions. Instead, they pointed me toward this tiny osteria tucked away on a side street that I never would have found on my own – honestly, it ended up being one of the best meals of my trip.

The rooms themselves are what you’d expect from a thoughtfully run 3-star property, but there’s something about the way they’re maintained that feels above average. Everything works properly (which, let’s face it, isn’t always a given), and the beds are actually comfortable – not just “good enough for a few nights” but the kind where you don’t mind lounging around in the morning. I stayed during what turned out to be a pretty busy weekend, and while you could hear some activity in the hallways during peak times, it never felt disruptive. The neighborhood itself is fairly quiet in the evenings, which I appreciated after long days of sightseeing. You’re close enough to everything that matters in Verona without being right in the thick of the tourist chaos – there’s something to be said for being able to walk back to your hotel without fighting through crowds of people taking selfies every few steps. That 8.9 rating makes perfect sense once you’ve spent a few nights here; it’s the kind of place that does all the basics really well without trying to be something it’s not.

Reviews of Residenza Scaligera

• Ezza_t from Germany – 30 December 2024 (8/10)

  The decor is amazing and amenities were amazing. Truly a unique and historical place
  
  What could be improved: The bar downstairs was playing music until well after midnight

• Pilita08 from Switzerland – 19 October 2024 (8/10)

  Beautiful apartment and rooms, just like the pictures. Good coffee / tea and kitchen amenities available. Location was excellent. Super comfortable and spacious single beds. Great air-con.
  
  What could be improved: It was odd to be requested to do the check-in via Whatsapp (even sending pics of passports). If something was missing or was needed, also via Whatsapp. This might not be ideal for everyone. Luckily, we didn't have any problems and, too be fair, you could also request to meet someone in person for all of it, but it took time to coordinate.

• Juliet from United Kingdom – 12 October 2024 (9/10)

  This property is beautiful, the location is ten minutes walk to the city centre and is a hidden gem. It’s extremely clean, the rooms are large and of a high standard. The team were helpful when we had to make changes to our booking and nothing was too much trouble.
  
  What could be improved: The only comment I can make is that we could have done with a couple of extra pillows. Overall a brilliant place to stay

• Sarah from United Kingdom – 7 October 2024 (9/10)

  Located very close to the bus stop. The room was huge and easily accessible. The toilet was spacious and had all the amenities needed.
  
  What could be improved: The staircase outside the apartment did not have any lights and can be hard to see when using the stairs.

• Mariusz from Poland – 15 September 2024 (9/10)
