Room Verona Ai Duchi

Room Verona Ai Duchi Overview

I remember stumbling upon Room Verona Ai Duchi last summer during the opera festival – you know, when the Arena di Verona turns into this massive open-air theater with crowds spilling out everywhere. I’d just hopped off the train at Porta Nuova and decided to walk the 15 minutes or so through the old town, dodging gelato vendors on Via Mazzini, and there it was, tucked right on Via Anfiteatro, basically in the shadow of the ancient amphitheater. Honestly, the location is a game-changer if you’re into that whole romantic Verona vibe; you’re steps from Piazza Bra, where locals grab their morning espresso and tourists snap selfies with the gladiator statues. But fair warning, parking’s a nightmare here – I mean, it’s the historical center, so unless you’re cool with circling for ages or paying through the nose for a garage spot nearby, just ditch the car and embrace the pedestrian life. The building itself has that classic Italian charm, with weathered stone walls that feel like they’ve been there since Romeo and Juliet’s time (which, side note, her supposed balcony is like a five-minute stroll away on Via Cappello – total tourist trap, but fun if you’re in the mood).

Stepping inside, it’s one of those no-frills 3-star spots that doesn’t pretend to be fancy, but it gets the job done with a warm, family-run feel. The check-in was a breeze – the owner chatted me up about the best spots for aperitivo on Piazza delle Erbe, which is just around the corner and buzzes with market stalls during the day. My room was on the second floor, overlooking the street, and while it’s nothing luxurious (think basic furnishings, a bit cramped for two suitcases, and that faint echo of church bells from Santa Anastasia nearby), it was spotless and had this cozy, lived-in texture – soft linens that smelled freshly laundered, and a tiny balcony where I sipped coffee watching the evening passeggiata. Breakfast is simple continental stuff in a small dining area – croissants, yogurt, maybe some prosciutto if you’re lucky – but it’s included, and honestly, who needs more when you’ve got killer bakeries like Flego just down the block? Oh, and noise-wise, it can get lively with opera-goers until late in summer, so pack earplugs if you’re a light sleeper; otherwise, the hum of the city sort of lulls you to sleep.

All in all, if you’re hitting Verona for a quick cultural fix – say, catching Aida at the Arena or wandering the Adige River bridges at dusk – this place is a solid pick without breaking the bank. It’s not perfect (the Wi-Fi can be spotty during peak tourist season, and the bathroom’s on the snug side), but for a 7.3 rating, it punches above its weight in authenticity. You’d be hard-pressed to find better value right in the heart of things, especially when everything’s walkable – from the Castelvecchio museum to those hidden osterias serving Amarone wine. I left feeling like I’d actually experienced Verona, not just passed through, and that’s what counts, right?

Reviews of Room Verona Ai Duchi

• Joanna from Poland – 23 March 2025 (8/10)

  What could be improved: The instruction on how to enter the location is really complicated. Also there was too many messages from the property making finding important information even harder

• Natasha from United Kingdom – 6 March 2025 (7/10)

  Excellent location, very easy access to central Verona and supermarkets. Quiet area and easy to sleep
  
  What could be improved: Shared kitchen area had dirty glassware and not many items to use. A bottle opener would’ve been a great addition

• Lina from Lithuania – 21 February 2025 (7/10)

  Good location nice comfortable room, staff answered to the questions and fixed
  
  What could be improved: The internet connection was poor in the evenings two days in a row, also in some mornings. It was half working half not – even if we were restarting the router, maybe when more people connects it influences connection
  
  The smell of canalization was quite intense
  
  Since there was kitchen would have been nice to have there to boil water or have some cutlery, cups, or working oven

• Karen from Spain – 26 December 2024 (6/10)

  Location ideal
  
  What could be improved: No basic facilities for even making a tea or coffee

• Maja from Serbia – 28 May 2024 (7/10)

  Great location! The apartment is big. Its clean. Has a good, comfortable bed, wardrobe, table and kitchen.
  
  What could be improved: The property needs a renovation and better maintenance. Many things are broken. Shower handle is very bad. In the kitchen you can’t find a glass for the water. The stuff is sending a mile’s long messages with instructions and without your cellphone and internet you can’t enter the apartment. So if you’re tourist and you don’t have internet or your battery is dead, you can’t enter the apartment. I didn’t see so not clever thing so far and I am traveling a lot.

• Andreas from Greece – 31 December 2023 (8/10)

  Excellent location next to the Arena. Very clean and with the plus of a private bathroom. Very easy access; we've been impressed with the online check in.
  
  What could be improved: It was basic with the facilities provided in the kitchen, kettle was missing, sauce pans hardly used. That makes it not appropriate for a long stay. Plus the remote control of the air conditioning was very difficult to use; maybe new batteries were required.

• Lukas from Lithuania – 20 September 2023 (8/10)

  What could be improved: Complicated check in, had to call the owner to get inside.

• Keeley from United Kingdom – 9 June 2023 (8/10)

  where it was , location
  
  What could be improved: the key situation, confusing

• Ulrich from Germany – 26 April 2023 (7/10)

  Very central and quiet.
  
  What could be improved: Checkin quite complicated via Vikey. I prefer real people and real keys 😬

• Serena from United Kingdom – 15 December 2022 (8/10)

  location, room layout and easy access
  
  What could be improved: the mattress s of the bed was squicky and way too hard. I had a pretty long journey and was looking forward a goodnight of sleep. I am usually really not picky with mattresses but this one was not good.
