Suite Antico Seminario Overview

I’ll be honest – when I first walked into Suite Antico Seminario, I wasn’t expecting much from the name alone. But you know what? Sometimes the most unassuming places completely blow you away, and this 4-star gem is exactly that kind of surprise. The moment you step inside, there’s this immediate sense that you’ve stumbled onto something special. The building has this incredible history written into every corner – I mean, you can actually feel the weight of centuries in the thick stone walls and arched doorways. It’s not one of those places that tries too hard to be boutique-y; instead, it just naturally oozes character.

What really got me was how they’ve managed to blend the old-world charm with genuinely comfortable modern touches. The suites (and they really are proper suites, not just oversized hotel rooms) have these soaring ceilings and original architectural details that make you feel like you’re staying in a palazzo, but then you’ve got excellent Wi-Fi, proper air conditioning, and bathrooms that actually work perfectly. The staff here – and this is something you don’t always get at smaller properties – genuinely knows their stuff. They’re not just friendly; they’re knowledgeable about the area in that way that tells you they’ve been doing this for years. I remember asking about dinner recommendations and getting this whole rundown of places I never would have found on my own, complete with which dishes to order and when to show up to avoid the crowds.

The location is honestly perfect if you want to feel like you’re really experiencing the city rather than just visiting it. You’re tucked away enough that you’re not dealing with tourist chaos right outside your window, but close enough to everything that matters that you can walk pretty much anywhere you need to go. I loved stepping out in the early morning when the streets were still quiet – there’s something magical about having those narrow cobblestone lanes almost to yourself. The 9.3 rating this place has? Yeah, that tracks completely. It’s one of those stays where every little detail just works, from the surprisingly good breakfast (they actually care about the coffee, which matters more than people realize) to the way housekeeping manages to clean your room without making it feel sterile. There’s parking nearby if you’re driving, which isn’t always a given in these historic areas, and the check-in process was refreshingly straightforward. This isn’t the kind of place you book just because it’s convenient – you book it because you want your accommodation to actually add something special to your trip.

Reviews of Suite Antico Seminario

  • Roberta from Italy – 4 April 2025 (10/10)

    L’esperienza è stata molto positiva. La struttura aveva una posizione ottima (in pieno centro e a poco distanza dalla famosa Piazza Erbe) e contro i (normalissimi) rumori della città le finestre isolavano perfettamente. L’appartamento è grande, spazioso, luminoso e molto comodo. È ben curato, nuovo, pulito e dotato di molti servizi utili. Eravamo un gruppo di quattro persone e ci siamo trovati comodi anche in termini di spazio.
    Infine, il proprietario Luigi è stato molto gentile e disponibile. Abbiamo avuto qualche problema sull’orario di arrivo a causa del lungo viaggio ma Luigi ha mostrato molta pazienza e ci ha aspettato e accolto senza problemi. Consiglio assolutamente questo alloggio per chi viaggia a Verona, sia per soggiorni brevi che soggiorni più lunghi.

  • Alejandro from Spain – 25 March 2025 (9/10)

    Muy bien equipada, situación

    What could be improved: El sistema electrónico para entrar por primera vez es útil pero se echa de menos que después puedas usar una llave normal, porque estás dependiendo de tener batería en el móvil para abrir el portal .
    Soy bastante sensible a los ácaros del polvo y la primera noche tuve que cambiar de habitación. La alfombra, cortinas tupidas y cabeceros forrados de tela no ayudan, en mi caso.

  • Davide from Italy – 5 October 2024 (10/10)

    Appartamento bello, spazioso, pulito, comodo per gli spostamenti in quanto è in pieno centro città

  • Satu from Finland – 27 September 2024 (9/10)

    What could be improved: Tervetuliaiskori puuttui…

  • Mirela from Italy – 12 August 2024 (10/10)

    La suite è il mix perfetto tra tradizione e arredamento moderno che incontra qualsiasi esigenza dell'ospite.
    Abbiamo apprezzato la scelta dell'avere due tipologie di cuscini tra cui scegliere per dormire.

    What could be improved: Sarebbe utile aggiungere una pentola più grande per cucinare per cinque persone.

  • Travelbybike from Australia – 5 August 2024 (9/10)

    This is a really comfortable, modern apartment, beautifully renovated. The kitchen has everything you could need, the bathroom is big and the two bedrooms are comfortable. There are some lovely cafes and restaurants within walking distance, especially Dolciaria Cantonucci for coffee around the corner.

    What could be improved: Since the master bedroom door doesn't close, proper light blocking curtains on the kitchen window would be nice. Better instructions on how to use the washing machine would be awesome. We wasted a lot of time on this. Once we worked out the express wash it was excellent. Yes the unit is on a busy corner and directly after a set of lights but the annoying motorcycles become scarce after 10pm and we slept ok. The second bedroom is quieter.

  • István from Hungary – 22 July 2024 (9/10)

    The whole flat is perfect as they said. Big spaces, nice furnitures, easy access to downtown. Pretty nice cafe's around. A parking garage is only 5 minutes walk away.

    What could be improved: The only downside is the windows. The apartment is newly renovated but the windows let almost every sound in from the street.

  • Paul from United Kingdom – 15 May 2024 (9/10)

    Location good. A short walk to the river, then into the centre of the old town. Plenty of local bars, food takeaways, cafes etc. A couple of local grocery stores just a few metres away, and an excellent fruit and vegetable store a short walk away.
    Luigi was an excellent host and answered a couple of questions we had.

    What could be improved: Some traffic noise but this is Italy and everyone uses their horns.

  • Eleonora from United Kingdom – 8 April 2024 (10/10)

    The property is confortable ,beautiful interiors, the beds were so confortable everything curated. We loved how the storical features of the place were integrsted to the renovation. Wide space, wide doors. Fully equiped
    The location is our favourite in Verona. 5 min walk to everything.

    What could be improved: Nothing.We loved it.

  • Zilvinas from Lithuania – 8 December 2023 (10/10)

    The stay was simply perfect. Location is great, you can reach the old town in a short walk. The place itself is very spacious, and tastefully decorated, a perfect mixture between modern facilities and keeping the spirit of the original building details.
