Casa Francesca

amazing location, well thought out modern apartment. loved the teeny terrace too

We liked that the keys were easy accessible from a lockbox and that we did not have to worry about meeting someone at a certain time. We also left the keys in the lockbox when we where out during the day so we did not have to worry about losing them. The apartment is very central to all the attractions that Verona has to offer. Bars, shops and restaurant are right on the doorstep. We couldn't find the supermarket for groceries but the host replied quickly with a link to directions to the closest one (it is a fair walk) and gave us advice that the bakery in the street from the apartment sold milk which was convenient. The apartment is very clean and tastefully decorated/furnished. Bed was extremely comfortable with decent pillows so we slept really well. The apartment is very quiet and being the only apartment on the top floor some might not like the flights of stairs but it was not a problem to us. As check out was early the owner allowed us to leave our cases outside the apartment which is quite safe due to being the only apartment on that floor and there is a Ring doorbell overlooking the hallway. The host checks in via WhatsApp regularly to ask if you are ok and having a good time.

These are small things, personal preference rather than issues and it would not stop us staying again. As we did not have any contact with anyone on arrival there was no one to show us around the facilities. There is no information pack/booklet at the apartment so we did not know where to take rubbish and recycling. We ended up distributing our rubbish between the small, public litter bins in the square and I am sure we were using the restaurants glass recycle bin :Z. We were there for a week so not having a washing machine or laundrette facilities convenient we struggled with clean/fresh towels. Did do a hand wash but due to the weather conditions not being great, it was difficult to dry them. Balcony was smaller than we expected and furniture uncomfortable to sit on (metal with no cushions) but due to the weather we did not get to use it much anyway. Check out is a little early seen as we had a 9pm flight (other apartments we stayed at in Italy were 11.30 check out) and as it was raining wandering around the streets was not ideal. We did find the community library and spent 3 hours there which we were relieved about as we did not relish the idea of walking in the rain. Also the cleaner entered the apartment unannounced, 40 mins before our departure time and we felt pressured to leave earlier than we planned. This is not a negative and is personal preference but just to warn other coffee lovers that the coffee machine is an Italian style stove top coffee pot. It does make good coffee but I found it a little time consuming, messy and only does 2 small cups at a time, we would have preferred a coffee machine as advertised.

Location great, cental to all main attractions. Great selection of restaurants nearby. Host Francesca responded promptly to any enquiries.

The apartment is in a lovely old building. It is right in the middle of the city but also still very quiet. The balcony with views over the roof tops of Verona was an added bonus.

It's on the 4th floor but I was aware of this when booking and this is also why it has a nice view from the balcony so not really a negative at all.

Great location near city center with clean modern interior. Ideal for 3-7 day stay in Verona. Owner Fra was very responsive.

The lack of washing machine with the closest laundromat being some distance away was a small inconvenience

The location is perfect - right in the heart of Verona. The apartment contained everything we needed. The owner was very helpful and easy to communicate with.

Great restaurants in the historic square below. Easy to walk round Verona from the property. Modern, clean and comfortable. It was four floors up but the stairs were shallow and wide - so easy to get up and down.

So central and air con a dream Little terrace to sit down outside after long day of walking Went for Opera and so near was great to be able to walk back in 10minutes

That ceiling in bedroom a little low for 6 foot tall but a really minor gripe
