Verona House Aparthotel

I originally booked hotel milano spa, and they gave me a room in the apartments instead. How lucky we're we, the apartment was superb. It was spotless and had all mod cons (they even put in fresh towels after an evening shower). The apartment is central to all the sites in Verona and right across the road from the castle. Also the breakfast was brilliant with a great choice of everything.

Fantastic location, we found it so easy to get around Verona from here. The staff are lovely, the lady that checked us in was fabulous and gave us a detailed guide to Verona. Breakfast was really decent (2 hot skillets with scrambled egg and an Italian take on sausage annd bacon, lovely bread, an selection of cold meats, cheeses & fruit, great bean to cup coffee machine and the lady ‘running’ it was wonderful - nothing was too much trouble. Our room was fine, quite dated but very clean and we had a brilliant view of Castelvecchio - we’d requested this and communication was great and we were lucky to have our request honoured. Be aware this is an old building and the windows are originals so if you’re a light sleeper and have a Castle view room it may be a tad noisy. We got the bus from the airport (no. 199) which drops you at the train station (Porta Nuova), it’s then an easy 20 minute walk or very quick bus trip onwards from there to the Hotel - the buses go from the train station to Castelvecchio and take less than 10 minutes and it’s then a 2 minute walk. We did a day trip to Venice which was very easy on the train and super cheap! Finally the Hotel is ‘twinned’ with the Hotel Milano & Spa, it’s a 10 minute walk and you can use the hot tub there which overlooks the Arena - take note you need to pre book this; when you arrive you’re given a room at the hotel to change and are given towels, robes and slippers. Ps. The food options in Verona are incredible!
