Palazzo Valmarana Braga

Not applicable

No snags for mr but elderly might struggle with cases up staircases

Centric location, friendly staff. Palladio access but not in Palladio palace.

Cheap pillows, weird shower, old kitchen furniture.

It was like staying in a museum right in the historic center of Vicenza. We consider coming back.

This was an incredible experience. Francesca is an incredible host. You get to stay in one of Palladio's foremost buildings in the center of Vicenza. The apartment is spacious and feels like you've traveled back in time. The experience is unparalleled. The care taken to restore the building by the architect is quite a story. Designers, architects and history buffs will appreciate greatly-as will just everyone. Palladian Tour bike tour operator is right in the same building. Very convenient. Thank you Francesca!

The location was beyond perfect! One of the most gorgeous pedestrian streets in Vicenza...close to wonderful cafes, shopping, and restaurants. The building is stunning and the apartments are spacious and beautifully appointed. The parking lot for the apartments is a short, 5-minute walk (if arriving by car), and it is only 8 Euro for all day/overnight. We were able to walk all over Vicenza from the palace. The best location with the most perfect space in all of Vicenza! Francesca, the hostess, was wonderful! She was available to check us in when we arrived and answered our questions! When we return, we would love to stay at the same property! Highly recommend.

Nothing could have been better. It was perfect.

A beautiful apartment, with a light airy feel - and what a location! Loved the framed prints of Palladio's drawings on the walls - over 40 of them. The prints belonged to Francesca's father Luigi, who spent decades restoring this Palladian palazzo after it was damaged by a bomb in 1944. Francesca's husband showed us their little museum in the basement, which shows the work done to restore the building. Most recently the facade has been conserved (fortunately not damaged by the bomb). We were so lucky to stay there, and would really love to stay again. Great to meet Francesca too.

A minor point: Instructions to access wifi in the Welcome Letter didn't apply to this apartment, which created some confusion until we saw the instructions for us on the table in front of the sofa.

The apartment was a stunning massive suite in a Palladian Palace. The location was great, just off the main street and near the piazza. The owner was friendly, communicative, and had very helpful suggestions about local activities and businesses.

The Internet was weak, but I expected that in such an old place.
