VeronaJourneys Emilei

VeronaJourneys Emilei Overview

I’ll be honest – when I first heard about VeronaJourneys Emilei, I wasn’t sure what to expect from a 4-star place with such an unusual name. But after spending a few nights there, I get why it’s pulling in those solid 8.7 ratings. There’s something refreshingly unpretentious about this hotel that caught me off guard in the best way possible.

The building itself has this understated elegance that doesn’t scream for attention – you know what I mean? It’s not trying to be the flashiest spot on the block, but once you’re inside, the attention to detail becomes pretty obvious. The lobby has this warm, lived-in feel with comfortable seating areas where people actually hang out instead of just rushing through. I noticed guests lingering over coffee in the morning, which always tells me something about a place’s atmosphere. The staff genuinely seems to know what they’re doing too – check-in was smooth, and they had those little local recommendations that felt authentic rather than scripted. Actually, the front desk manager pointed me toward this tiny gelateria about three blocks away that I never would’ve found otherwise, and it ended up being one of those perfect discoveries you stumble into while traveling.

What really won me over was how the hotel balances modern comfort with character. The rooms aren’t massive, but they’re thoughtfully designed with good lighting (finally, a hotel that understands travelers need to actually see things) and surprisingly comfortable beds. I’m usually pretty picky about mattresses, but I slept well every night. The bathrooms are updated without being sterile, and there’s decent water pressure – honestly, these details matter more than people realize. The location works well for exploring Verona on foot, though it’s positioned just far enough from the main tourist chaos that you can actually get some quiet when you want it. I could hear some street activity during the day, but nothing that kept me awake at night. Parking can be a bit tricky in the immediate area (welcome to Italian city centers), but the hotel staff helped sort that out without making it feel like a huge ordeal. If you’re looking for a place that feels more like a well-run local gem than a generic chain property, VeronaJourneys Emilei delivers on that promise. It’s not perfect – the elevator is somewhat slow, and WiFi occasionally stutters – but those minor quirks almost add to its charm rather than detract from it.

Reviews of VeronaJourneys Emilei

• Georgi from Bulgaria – 8 April 2025 (9/10)

  Very nice apartment. There are all kinds of accessories for cooking and having family dinner.
  Definitely recommend to change matrices. It is good to remove from description that parking is available. In old city of Verona have no parking places for visitors!

• Linda from United States – 5 April 2025 (9/10)

  Great location. Lovely staff charming decor
  
  What could be improved: Older building so a few issues there, staff was very accommodating about it

• Plamen from Bulgaria – 30 January 2025 (9/10)

  What could be improved: It was cold

• Milton from United States – 9 October 2024 (8/10)

  This place is a gem in Verona. It's very spacious and have all commodities you need. Host was very helpful despite a short notice reservation.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing to complaint about. There is nothing wrong with this place, and location is just perfect! Licia was very kind and helpful and took the time to provide some recommendations of places to visit.

• Sarah from United Kingdom – 20 September 2024 (9/10)

  Excellent location in the old town with many restaurants and cafes nearby. Well furnished quiet appartment in an old block with comfortable bed and good kitchen.
  
  What could be improved: All good.

• Kylah from United Kingdom – 4 September 2024 (8/10)

  The apartment was very nice, clean, good location. It was roomy for 4 of us.
  
  What could be improved: The only suggestion I have is to maybe keep a few things for cooking that someone who is only staying for a few days to use like oil and sugar. But besides that there are no complaints.

• Anja from Serbia – 28 August 2024 (7/10)

  The apartment in Via Enrico de Nicolis is well located, nice and clean. Private parking garage is next to the apartment, but the size of the vehicle that can enter is limited.
  
  What could be improved: The host wasn't helpful or very pleasant.
  The prices of the public parking are not correct on their booking profile and even though they said on their profile that reservation is not needed, a day before arrival I got the information that I should reserve a parking spot (which means that it should be paid in advance via site).

• Vladova from United Kingdom – 19 August 2024 (9/10)

  Good location, walking distance to everything.
  Nice little flat with everything you need already provided ( linen, cutlery, even some water in the fridge, washing machine in the bathroom ).
  Quiet and relaxing with good Air conditioning.
  The young man who checked us in was extremely polite and helpful, giving us lots of good information about the city, places to visit, good restaurants, etc.
  
  What could be improved: A few cockroaches seen… but I guess this is hard to avoid as the building is old and the apartment is on the ground floor.
  Check in – just a few hours window and until 7PM, which is too early.

• Simon from Netherlands – 14 August 2024 (9/10)

  We had a verry warm welcome with lots of instructions and tips where to go. The appartment is very clean and has all equipment. You get what's promised. Ideally suited for a short week stay in a lovely town. If you go by car just leave it parked during your stay, you will not miss it 😀.
  Everything is around the corner (baker, supermarket, very, very good fresh pasta store, butcher) for normal living and everything is also around the corner for drinking and eating outside if you like easy living.
  
  What could be improved: No outside space (via Duomo 10) but you are in the middle of the old city with everything on hand which you may expect from Verona.

• Branka from Croatia – 18 June 2023 (9/10)

  comfortable apartment with a nice view on the Adige and city
  
  What could be improved: We only had one key for apartment but we spent weekend with friends and it is not practical and someone was always waiting for someone…key box with code on the entrance is one of the cheaper solution.
