Great location and wonderful host!
It was a lovely apartment in a great location; easy walking distance to all the major sights. Hosts were very helpful and accommodating. Giacomo picked me up from the train station and drove me to the apartment, and I was able to check in right away! I very much enjoyed my stay here.

Quiet Neighborhood in the Historic Center
My husband, son and i had an enjoyable time in Padua and Lorenza’s place was a quiet “casa” to come home to at the end of each the day. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well-equipped with plates, glasses, and cutlery.

Great apartment in a great location.
This apartment is splendidly furnished and well organized. It is the most aesthetically pleasing VRBO in its price range that I have experienced so far. The host picked me up from the train station and was friendly and responsive to any questions or requests. The accommodation is close to the centre of Padova. I highly recommend it.

Gracious hosts, comfortable and beautiful apartment in a perfect location.
We feel very fortunate to have found this wonderful apartment. We appreciated that Giacomo picked us up at the train station and that he and his Mom personally made sure that all of our needs were met before they left us to enjoy our 10 days in Padova. Giacomo very responsive by text to any questions we had later on. The apartment is spacious, immaculate, and beautifully updated. It was extremely well stocked including fresh fruit, juices, milk, water, and yogurt in the refrigerator as well as dry and canned foods in the cabinet. The location is central and within walking distance to all of the sites of Padova. We highly recommend this apartment and plan to stay here again on our next visit.

Perfect apartment in an ideal location.
This immaculate and comfortable apartment was the perfect place for a relaxing week in lovely Padua. Giacomo met us at the train station and provided great suggestions for dining. My wife and I loved the central location with easy access to restaurants, supermarket, and two outstanding bakeries. The situation of the apartment at the rear of its building made for peaceful sleeping. The apartment was equipped with everything we could need. One suggestion: with climate change in progress the building owner should consider activating the air conditioning earlier in the season than in year's past; however, with a fan on we slept comfortably. Overall this apartment was a wonderful part of our great experience in Padua.

Die wohnung liegt super zentral in der Altstadt von Padua. Ganz in der Nähe ist ein Bäcker, gegenüber ein kleiner Supermarkt. Zu den historischen Markthallen geht man zu Fuß in 5 Minuten. Wer Padua erkunden will, ist in dieser schönen, geräumigen Wohnung gut aufgehoben.
