Arena Dreams Apartment

Everything! it’s a real gem!

Host Gabriella was very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The apartment is spacious, over three floors. The outside terrace is huge (but sadly too hot to sit there during the day during our stay, even with the large umbrella - heatwave!). The bathroom etc is large. The location is great, right next to the Arena and bus stops, and just a couple of minutes walk from restaurants, Piazza Bre, Aldi supermarket etc, and about 10 mins walk to sights such as Juliette's House and the Lamberti Tower.

As other reviews have mentioned, there are a lot of steep (original stone) stairs. Not a problem for us, but might be for others. And again as other reviews have mentioned, during the opera season they shift scenery throughout the night until about 5am, storing it around the Arena. I found it very noisy, loud bangs and crashes of metal against metal, even with the shutters closed. But... that's a price to pay for such a great location. It would not be a problem out of opera season - the street is otherwise very quiet.

The location overlooking the Arena in the historical centre of Verona. Modern comforts in a very old traditional building. The owner and her son were very welcoming and available for offering helpful advice. After 2 weeks walking in the Dolomites we were pleased to have a washing machine. We had 3 nights at the opera in the Arena and could easily pop back to the apartment during the intervals. Even though we were in the town and close to busy streets it was really quiet in the studio apartment.

There wasn’t anything not to like.
