Location, location, location. This three-star couldn’t have a better one. Just off the Via Cappello, about a minute from Juliet’s house, 30 seconds from the most interesting street in Verona and just down the street from the Piazza Erbe (where the action is). In the center of Verona shopping. . . absolutely perfect. It is a place to say when you want to catch the feel of the city. It is also on the main walking tour. . . so that makes sight-seeing a breeze.
If you’re driving into Verona, you will be heading for the city center and in particular the centro storico There is good signage to point you to the hotel (thank heavens) and as long as you know it’s near Juliet’s house there is occasional signage for that as well. As for train station arrival, you will need a cab. . . it’s a bit of a hike.
The exterior presents as an older building, but the interior is that of a nice, small middle class hotel with three floors above ground level. We booked through www.itwg.com, a great site with real-time booking and confirmations. We chose a double room with one large bed and bath. The rate of 105 Euros included a very good breakfast in a pleasant room below the lobby. The room wasn’t particularly large, but it was both clean and comfortable and the bathroom was four-piece without a tub (the shower was small, but adequate). The only other amenity I could see was a small bar off the lobby.
Parking appeared to be all street parking on the narrow one-way street outside the hotel. I wasn’t offered alternatives, but hey, it was free. We were completely satisfied with the property, particularly because it was all about location.
