We absolutely loved this place! It was clean, comfortable and in a perfect location. The apartment had coffee, sugar, spices, toiletries and so much more in case you forgot to bring something. Our check in and check out was very smooth! We arrived by car and there is a parking garage close by that was very affordable! We would definitely come back and would highly recommend this property!

Fully renovated apartment, ideally located, in the core of a great monumental city. The apartment is well furnished and very practical. We spent 2 weeks and used most of the kitchen appliances at our disposal. I can only recommend this beautiful condo.

It was a lovely apartment in a great location; easy walking distance to all the major sights. Hosts were very helpful and accommodating. Giacomo picked me up from the train station and drove me to the apartment, and I was able to check in right away! I very much enjoyed my stay here.

Great apartment in a great location.

This apartment is splendidly furnished and well organized. It is the most aesthetically pleasing VRBO in its price range that I have experienced so far. The host picked me up from the train station and was friendly and responsive to any questions or requests. The accommodation is close to the centre of Padova. I highly recommend it.

My husband, son and i had an enjoyable time in Padua and Lorenza’s place was a quiet “casa” to come home to at the end of each the day. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well-equipped with plates, glasses, and cutlery.

Perfect apartment in an ideal location.

This immaculate and comfortable apartment was the perfect place for a relaxing week in lovely Padua. Giacomo met us at the train station and provided great suggestions for dining. My wife and I loved the central location with easy access to restaurants, supermarket, and two outstanding bakeries. The situation of the apartment at the rear of its building made for peaceful sleeping. The apartment was equipped with everything we could need. One suggestion: with climate change in progress the building owner should consider activating the air conditioning earlier in the season than in year's past; however, with a fan on we slept comfortably. Overall this apartment was a wonderful part of our great experience in Padua.

Most perfect apartment in a perfect central location

We chose Padua as a central location to stay to tour the region and chose this apartment because it is located close to the center of town with great restaurants and the train station. Padua surprised us with how much there was to see! The owner met us at the property and gave us details of the apt and the surrounding area. The apartment was quite large, and the kitchen well-stocked with pots, pans, glassware, and even coffee, sugar, jams, etc. it was easy to have breakfast in house at the beginning of each day. A small grocery store is across the street and a really cool enoteca is around the corner. They even have several art books to view details of all the frescos and artwork of the region - very helpful in planning and appreciating your tours. Amazing laundry room too! This is probably the nicest apartment or condo we’ve ever stayed in. The only downside is that there is no free parking. Next time, though, I don’t think we’d rent a car since public transportation is so great around here.

Great location and homy place

The location is ideal. It's equal distance from St. Anthony and the piazzas. Right down the street there is a big bookstore, grocery stores, farmer markets, bars, etc. etc. The apartment is wonderful, clean, elegant. There was some problem communicating with the host. I managed to finally get in touch with them only 10 minutes before arrival to location. Everything went well in the end, but it was quite stressful. I think this is more a problem with vrbo, which makes it hard to communicate directly with the host.

Wonderful, spacious apartment

Wonderful apartment (in spite of the heat not being able to be switched off in April); spacious with everything we needed including a grocery store across the street and being close to the center of town. Lorenza was warm, welcoming and showed us how things worked in the apartment. Giocomo was very responsive with any questions we had and even drove me to the hospital and translated what I needed to the triage nurse. Above and beyond what I would expect!

Terrific Apartment in a Super Location - Best of the Best

Giacomo (son) was terrific at check-in - excellent command of English. The Review Title says it all; 150 metres from the central Piazza Erbe and some good restaurants close by. La Vecchia Enoteca, Osteria L'Anfora and Osteria dal Capo plus Shanghai for a change of taste. Despite the restaurants being regularly fully booked, turning up at opening time may allow the proprietor to slip you in before a late booking. The ZTL access makes life easy when travelling to outlying locations. We drove across the causeway directly into the Piazzale Roma Venice carpark (Euro 26) rather than mess around at a Mestre carpark and then pay for bus/train into Venice - the extra Euro 8 was worth the convenience.
