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.

Our host picked us up at the train station, which we found very generous and comfortable. He gave us some good advice on food and directions and was very helpful in general and a nice guy anyways. The apartment is spacious, well equipped and in the center of Padova. I can really recommend it!

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.

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.

Wonderful host
We really enjoyed our stay in Padova. Our host was generous enough to offer us a ride from the train and offer nice recommendations all around the city. The place itself was nice, clean, and in a central location. Would definitely recommend!

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.

schöne Wohnung im Herzen Paduas
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.

Excellent 2 days break in Padua
Flat was very clean, comfortable and came full with amenities .Wished we could stay longer in Padua as a result.
Landlord was very helpful, even making an extra effort to fetch us, party of 4 from the train station.

Una gemma nel cuore di Padova in pieno centro storico. Appartamento bellissimo e fornito di tutto. Proprietario gentilissimo. Sotto casa tutti i sevizi possibili ed immaginabili. A 2 passi Piazza delle Erbe, piazza dei Signori, cappella degli Scrovegni, Duomo, via Del Santo che porta alla Basilica di S. Antonio. Consiglio vivamente. Noi ci torneremo.

Most perfect apartment in a perfect central location
We chose Padua as a central location to stay to tour the region and chose this apartment because it is located close to the center of town with great restaurants and the train station. Padua surprised us with how much there was to see!
The owner met us at the property and gave us details of the apt and the surrounding area. The apartment was quite large, and the kitchen well-stocked with pots, pans, glassware, and even coffee, sugar, jams, etc. it was easy to have breakfast in house at the beginning of each day. A small grocery store is across the street and a really cool enoteca is around the corner. They even have several art books to view details of all the frescos and artwork of the region - very helpful in planning and appreciating your tours. Amazing laundry room too! This is probably the nicest apartment or condo we’ve ever stayed in. The only downside is that there is no free parking. Next time, though, I don’t think we’d rent a car since public transportation is so great around here.

Wunderschöne Wohnung im Herzen Paduas
Die Wohnung ist sehr gut gelegen. Mitten im Zentrum Paduas. Der Markt, die Universität etc. sind nur einige Minuten von der Wohnung entfernt. Sie ist sehr gut ausgestattet, mit Klimaanlage und sogar Waschmaschine und Bügeleisen. Obwohl sie mitten in der Stadt ist, ist es sehr ruhig. Die Straßenbahn und Bushaltestelle befinden sich nur um die Ecke. Super Verbindung zum Bahnhof, falls man mit der Bahn nach Venedig fahren will. Man braucht kein Auto und man kann sich die teuren Parkgebühren in Venedig sparen. Und nur gegenüber der Straße befindet sich ein kleiner Supermarkt für die alltäglichen Dinge. Kurzum ein Aufenthalt, den wir genossen haben. Falls wir wieder nach Padua kommen sollten, werden wir diese Wohnung gerne wieder buchen. Nur mit dem Parkplatz war es etwas schwierig. Für größere Autos muß man auf eine öffentliche Parkgarage ausweichen.

Great location and homy place
The location is ideal. It's equal distance from St. Anthony and the piazzas. Right down the street there is a big bookstore, grocery stores, farmer markets, bars, etc. etc. The apartment is wonderful, clean, elegant. There was some problem communicating with the host. I managed to finally get in touch with them only 10 minutes before arrival to location. Everything went well in the end, but it was quite stressful. I think this is more a problem with vrbo, which makes it hard to communicate directly with the host.

Wonderful, spacious apartment
Wonderful apartment (in spite of the heat not being able to be switched off in April); spacious with everything we needed including a grocery store across the street and being close to the center of town.
Lorenza was warm, welcoming and showed us how things worked in the apartment. Giocomo was very responsive with any questions we had and even drove me to the hospital and translated what I needed to the triage nurse. Above and beyond what I would expect!

L'appartamento perfetto
L'appartamento è uno dei nostri preferiti in assoluto. In pieno centro storico di Padova (a pochi passi dal Palazzo della Ragione e da bar, ristoranti, librerie, gelaterie, negozi), l'appartamento è spazioso, comodo, silenzioso e ben fornito. Ottimo wi-fi. Ci siamo sentiti come a casa. Giacomo ci ha accolti con simpatia, gentilezza e disponibilità. Se torniamo a Padova, cercheremo senz'altro di soggiornare di nuovo qui.

Terrific Apartment in a Super Location - Best of the Best
Giacomo (son) was terrific at check-in - excellent command of English. The Review Title says it all; 150 metres from the central Piazza Erbe and some good restaurants close by.
La Vecchia Enoteca, Osteria L'Anfora and Osteria dal Capo plus Shanghai for a change of taste. Despite the restaurants being regularly fully booked, turning up at opening time may allow the proprietor to slip you in before a late booking.
The ZTL access makes life easy when travelling to outlying locations. We drove across the causeway directly into the Piazzale Roma Venice carpark (Euro 26) rather than mess around at a Mestre carpark and then pay for bus/train into Venice - the extra Euro 8 was worth the convenience.

Central, Quiet Apartment
We decided to start our holiday in Italy exploring Padova and are pleased we did. Giacomo met us at the station and drove us to this very comfortable, well equipped and provisioned apartment in the centre of the old town. The location could not have been better. Only a few steps from the central market and the university. Giacomo’s sister visited with a cake and champagne, organised by one of our sons for my wife’s birthday. A very nice surprise. Padova is well worth a visit and this apartment is an excellent place to stay.

Superbe appartement idéalement placé
Sans conteste la meilleure location de notre séjour en Italie. L'appartement est très confortable et bien équipé, et surtout il est idéalement placé en centre ville de Padoue dans un quartier tranquille et sympathique, il y a même une petite supérette 7j/7 au pied de l'immeuble, parfait. Nous avons laissé notre véhicule dans le garage pour toute la durée de notre séjour (attention car l’accès au souterrain et la place de parking est plutôt petit, j'ai tout de même réussi après quelques manœuvres à garer notre monospace, mais ne compter pas garer un gros SUV).
La gare se situe à une petite vingtaine de minutes de marche, c'est la meilleure solution pour visiter Venise, vous y êtes en 25 min pour 4,25€/pers, donc il ne faut pas s’embêter à sortir la voiture .
Les propriétaires ont toujours répondus rapidement à nos questions, et merci d'avance à Lorenza qui va nous renvoyer par colis les jeux oubliés par nos enfants.
Je recommande sans hésiter cette location.
Christian.

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.
