A wonderful holiday
We were greeted by our host upon arrival and loved the apartment. It was spotlessly clean and had every amenity. We were supported by our host throughout the stay and were sorry to leave. Well done.

This was a great stay for our week in Padova. The apartment is very nice, well appointed and clean. The beds were comfortable and the linens were clean. Beautiful views out of the front terraces overall;ooking the square where you can witness how community squares are utilized in Italy; commercial vendors selling all manner of clothing during the day and then that is all removed and the restaurants and bars set up tables for the evening, truly something to see! There are no shortage of osterias right outside the front door and fine dining is all around within a 5 to 10 minute walk. You can truly get a taste of the real Italy and the local culture in this location. Guiseppe is a great host and communicates well. We would stay here again in the future!

Genuine Italian Flavour
We loved staying in Giuseppe’s flat, it overlooks the Piazza Signori and is really at the very heart of Padova. It is furnished with charm in a way that can only be Italian. Antiques that felt like a family home yet not so ‘prescious’ that you were afraid to use them. It really felt like home. It overlooks the square where you can enjoy joining the students in the evening, or stroll across to buy a Grom ice cream. If you are feeling less sociable you can sit on the balcony and watch life stroll by. It is busy in the evenings but the bedrooms at the back of the flat are quiet. During the day there is one of the many markets in the square, in fact everything is just a short stroll away. We came to celebrate our daughter’s graduation and I cannot think of a more perfect place to have stayed. Really 5 stars is not enough!

Amazing location and property!
It is hard to pick which was better - the clean, spacious, well equipped flat or the unbelievable location on Plaza Signori. Both were amazing! The property was very well maintained and had everything we needed for our 4 night stay. Giuseppe was an amazing host, greeting us on arrival, answering questions about the property and going above and beyond to help us secure the best airport transfer for an early Sunday departure and even making us dinner reservations at a great local spot for our first night. He was the most helpful host in all of my VRBO stays. The square is a market in the morning and a place to enjoy a meal or drink in the evening. Padua is a hidden gem in Italy and well worth a stay…for its own sights and its great location for day trips elsewhere. We could not have enjoyed our stay any more…I highly recommend this property!

Fabulous location and lovely apartment
Padua was one of our favourite places to visit In Italy, and Giuseppe’s apartment was definitely our favourite place to stay. Not only was the house, spacious and comfortable. It was clean and well equipped with the most fabulous view over the square. Giuseppe was above and beyond helpful, providing as many recommendations and being incredibly generous with his time. We really enjoyed the whole experience and will definitely return Monday.

The property is right on the piazza but still quiet because all the bedrooms are in the back. Easy trip on the train to Venice. The pictures do not do it justice. Top notch in every way!

Family trip to the Veneto
A fantastic apartment, perfectly placed in the centre of Padova. The kids loved staying here and we loved sitting on the balcony after the kids went to bed. A short walk to the train station allowed us to travel to Vicenza, Verona, Bologna and Venice. We received a fantastic welcome to the apartment, and would recommend a stay to anyone.

Excellent experience. Phone and text communication was seamless, accurate and helpful. Central location is an easy base for excursions. Nice to have a family owner. Newly remodeled, very helpful with recommendations for Padua. Easily accommodated our family of six.

Traveler Beware
Why would anyone want to visit a place that makes them feel they might never want to leave? Beware the charm and convenience of Padua. From its daily open-air markets, to its many fine restaurants and cultural amenities, to its central location as a hub to the Veneto region this town is a trap. Why would anyone want to spend their time in a charming, renovated apartment on one of the most charming piazzas in town? From its balcony overlooking Piazza Dei Signori, to its spacious, quiet and comfortable (three!) bedrooms, to its full kitchen you won’t be able to decide if you want to go out or stay in and cook a meal for yourself from the many fresh ingredients you’ll find just steps outside your front door. Do you really want to have an authentic Italian experience with all the comforts of home? I’ve warned you of the town, I’ve warned you of the apartment. The only thing left to warn you about is the host. He calls himself “Giuseppe” and he will fill your head with all kinds of stuff like where the best places to eat are, as well as a little history about the town, and the apartment, which belonged to his great-grandparents. He’ll even meet you for check-in to make sure you get settled in and have everything you need, and a bottle of wine. I feel I’ve done my duty now. I’ve warned you of the town, the apartment, and the host. If you insist on taking a vacation to some spot you may never want to leave that’s on you. Ciao, ciao!
