Casa Archi: overlooking Adige overlooking Castelvecchio WI-FI Parking - unit_3214012

Beautiully decorated, comfortable bed and couch, great eating areas, kitchen well appointed...convenient to grocery shop, bakery and drug store--within short walk.

We spent 4 nights at Casa Archi 2 which is the small apartment with the bed on a mezzanine level. The apartment is fine for 2 people for a short stay. Our SatNav wanted us to take a route through a pedestrian area, so I recommend you get instructions from Paola, or have a look at the one way systems around the property. You can park in a small secure courtyard for 10 Euros a night.

We enjoyed the view of the river (very fast flowing after the rains) and watching the antics of the birds. The balcony with a small table and chairs get the sun in the morning. You have a view of the Castelvecchio Bridge which is just a few minutes walk away.

The decor is interesting and quirky. The apartment has a fridge, oven, 2 electric cooking hobs, full sized dish washer and a washing machine. There's 2 coffee machines (filter and capsule) and a toaster. This was all good for us as I have to cook because of dietary requirements when we are away.

The steps up to the mezzanine are quite steep and with the low ceiling, my 6' husband found it safest to dress and undress downstairs!

The location for the 'must see' sights of Verona is excellent. A few minutes walk to the Arena. A Migros supermarket and bakery also a few minutes away. We were very grateful to find this apartment.

Communications with Paola were very good and she even sent me some video clips of the apartment. I admit when I made my booking, I thought I had booked one of the larger apartments as we wanted to be comfortable and sofa beds are not the best for my back. Again at the time of my booking, it wasn't clear which photos were which apartment. I can see that Paola has tried to address this as the Casa Archi 2 photos are now at the end of the photos that you look through. If you have any doubts, then contact Paola who is a delightful, friendly and helpful hostess.

We loved this location! Easy walking along the river to Castel Vecchio, Piazza Bra/Arena, Piazze Erbe, and to nearby Piazza San Zeno. We personally enjoyed the ristorantes right around San Zeno very much. The corner market has everything you need for making your own late afternoon anti-pasta or picnic lunch. The apartment bed in the loft was comfortable, we slept well. It was great to have a bathroom located in the loft. Having a washing machine with very nice drying rack was a bonus - really helped us out being able to get our laundry caught up. We only left the right window open in the living room because we could pull the screen all the way down to keep bugs out, which offered perfect breeze to dry out our hanging laundry. You can hear the church bells in the distance, very charming. Quiet location at night. Available parking behind the locked gate was one of the biggest reasons I chose this apartment to begin with - but it offers so much more than that. A dish washer and amazing toaster were great to have. The Nespresso was easy to use for that first of the morning coffee fix. We really enjoyed lounging on the big L-shape couch, the first flat we rented that actually had a really comfortable couch. We highly recommend this place and if in Verona again, would most definitely stay here.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Verona. Paola is a lovely hostess who has created a beautiful space, close to everything in the heart of the Veneto. Grazie tante, Paola!
