Suite Ponte Pietra

Suite Ponte Pietra Overview

You know what really caught me off guard about Suite Ponte Pietra? The moment I stepped inside, I could actually hear the Adige River flowing below – not in an annoying way, but this gentle, constant whisper that honestly made me sleep better than I have in months. The place sits right where you’d want to be in Verona, literally steps from that gorgeous Roman bridge (hence the name), and I mean, you can’t get much more authentic than having a 2,000-year-old piece of history as your neighbor.

The suite itself feels like someone’s really well-appointed apartment rather than a typical hotel room, which makes sense given that 9.4 rating – people clearly aren’t just being polite here. The kitchen actually works (I made coffee every morning instead of hunting down cafés), and the bathroom has this massive walk-in shower that, well, let’s just say I took longer showers than necessary. What I really appreciated was how quiet it stays despite being so central – you’re tucked away from the main tourist chaos on Via Mazzini, but it’s maybe a three-minute walk to get there when you want gelato at midnight.

Here’s the thing about staying this close to Ponte Pietra – you get to see Verona wake up before the tour groups arrive. I’d grab an espresso from the little bar around the corner (the owner remembers your order after day two) and walk across that ancient bridge while the morning light hits Castel San Pietro on the hill. Pure magic, honestly. The area gets busy during the day, sure, but evenings are surprisingly peaceful, especially if you walk down to the riverbank. Parking can be tricky – I’d recommend the garage near Porta Catena, about a five-minute walk – but once you’re settled, you really don’t need a car for anything. The train station’s walkable if you’re day-tripping to Lake Garda, and you’re basically equidistant from Juliet’s balcony and the Arena, so you can avoid the crowds at either by timing it right. I actually ended up extending my stay an extra night because, I mean, when you find a place that feels this right, why rush?

• Superbe week-end dans une charmante ville qu’est Vérone – Fred from Switzerland – 5 April 2024 (9/10)

  La vue sur le pont

• Schöne, aber teure Location, die einige nicht preisangemessene Unzulänglichkeiten hat – Helga from Germany – 28 August 2023 (6/10)

  Direkt im Etschbogen an der Ponte Pietra, Balkon über den Stromschnellen (sehr laut, deshalb nachts keine Fensteröffnung sinnvoll, aber Klimaanlage als Alternative) und tolle Aussicht. Netter und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber = Besitzer des unter der Suite gelegenen sehr guten Restaurants, deshalb dort zuverlässig ansprechbar. Antik und geschmackvoll eingerichteter Wohnraum.
  
  What could be improved: Reparaturbedürftige Einrichtungsteile (Küchenunterschrank mit Schild ´nicht benutzbar´, Toilettenpapierhalterung lag auf Regal war aber nicht an der vorgesehenen Wandstelle montiert) wurden nicht instandgesetzt vor Vermietung, was bei 250 EUR pro Nacht (dafür kann man in Verona direkt neben der Arena in einem 3-Sterne-Hotel incl. Frühstück und Parkplatz übernachten) nicht akzeptabel ist.
  Booking.com gibt als Zahlungsmöglichkeit ´nur Barzahlung´ an, was unzutreffend ist. Der Besitzer akzeptiert Kartenzahlungen für das Apartment genauso wie für sein Restaurant.
