Mansarda Fogazzaro

Very lovely owner. Very clean, well equipped. Generous with kitchen supplies

The stairs was not suitable for old people

Spacious and clean apartment with well furnished kitchen. Close to the city center and und walking distance of the train station. Was great for a family trip.

Parking is not included. Public parking lot is close, but sometimes crowded.

This is a well equipped, clean and comfortable apartment. They provide supplies to cook and clean up.

The apartment is quite spacious. Communication with the owner was good and she was very nice. She lives downstairs but has had to close the bakery. The train station is about a 18- 20 minute walk. The walk into town (the main street) is only about 6-7 minutes. Vicenza is actually a great place to stay if visiting Padua as well. The train trip to Padua is short and trains are frequent. We thought Vicenza was much nicer than Padua,. There is a lot less tourists and it has a lovely small historic city centre with lots of things to see (don’t miss Teatro Olimpico).

The bed is very, very hard. We found it very difficult to sleep on. It is also 2 single beds joined together to form one bed, which may not suit everyone. There are 61 steps up to the apartment (and more up to the loft bedroom once you are inside the apartment). Unfortunately some of the 61 steps are quite slippery in one section. To be honest, if you are over 55 and are carrying luggage then you may wish to consider whether this is the apartment for you. In addition, the bedroom is in the loft with slippery steps up to it (about 15+ steps). The bathroom is downstairs so if you need to get up in the night to get a drink or use the bathroom then a lot of care needs to be taken (not easy when you may be half asleep). The owner could improve this by adding graphite strips to the stair threads up to the loft bedroom to reduce the risk of slipping. Graphite strips added on the 61 stairwell steps would also improve the grip on them as well. The washing machine is of the (old fashioned) rotating drum type. The cycle seemed long but it did do the job. A minor thing, but mugs could be added as the current tea/coffee cups don’t keep the tea warm.

Clean/ well located/ host is very nice

Nice and convenient apartment with all you need for a stay for a week. Central but quiet location with easy access from the train station. Michela is a charming woman and super friendly host with very good communication skills.

When the owner of the apartment also operates the bakery next door we are certain to have an amazing breakfast!
