What a wonderful place to stay in Padua! The location cannot be surpassed as it is directly on the square however the double paned window allow complete quiet if one so chooses. The apartment itself is magnificently appointed with beautiful furniture and all accommodations needed for a superb sojourn. It is quite spacious more so than the photos indicate. Giuseppe, the owner, is most helpful from the beginning to the end of the stay. Even coming to find us when our driver left us off in the wrong place and helping us get to our time slot at the Scrovegni chapel which would have been our only chance to see it. He was also helpful during our stay when any question would arise. We are most thankful for his support throughout. We look forward to another stay at this lovely location in Padua.

Fantastic place with the most amazing host

I give this property a five-star, which I normally never do. The host Guiseppi is amazing. The apartment is in the best part of Padova in the main square with the astronomical clock. It is within walking distance of everything in the city. All bedrooms are at the back and hence no noise from the square. Wifi and aircon worked flawlessly. Lots of good shops and restaurants right below.

A wonderful apartment in a perfect location

This is a wonderful apartment in a perfect location in the centre of Padua. The apartment has a lovely main room; comfortable bedrooms; and a well equipped kitchen. Giuseppe is an excellent host; he was very helpful over our check in and made himself easily available if necessary. Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay.

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!

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.

We had the best stay at Giuseppe’s appartment. He was amazing, told us about the city, the landmarks, the stores, the restaurants, he made a reservation for our arrival night, really good food! And he also arranged for a garage as his appartment is in the ztl area. It was absolutely perfect! I definitely recommend this appartment! It’s a hidden treasure. Thank you Giuseppe! Please come and see us in Montreal! Ciao!

Our experience renting this property was excellent from start to finish. Giuseppe is a very kind friendly host who made sure we knew where to find good restaurants . He was most helpful and reassuring even before we arrived. His apartment is right in the center of the historic district on a beautiful lively piazza which we enjoyed from the balcony. We would return anytime. ! Grazie Giuseppe!

Excellent Apartment in an Excellent Town

For a multiday stay in Veneto, I opted to stay in Padua. It turned out to be an excellent decision. Padua is a 26 min train trip from Venice which makes it convenient if you want to see the sights of Venice but do not want to deal with Venetian crowds and prices and tourists. When you stay in Padua you are staying with Italians. The property is large and very well appointed. It is in the center of everything Padua so you get a really good feel for the town. I loved this apartment. If I were to stay in Italy, I would want one just like it. Our host Giuseppe— there are no words to describe how kind and helpful he was. This was a terrific experience. I would highly recommend this property to anyone considering a stay in the Veneto.

Exquisite apartment. Giuseppe is amazing. Always available to help with anything. Truly beautiful apartment. With everything you could need.Everything has been thought of. Situated on piazza dei Signori. Supermarkets and local fruit and meat arcade 10 - 20 metres away. Can walk everywhere. While away the evenings on the terrace watching all the activity in the piazza. Absolutely brilliant. Thank you so much Giuseppe.

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!

Very pleasant Italian experience

We had a wonderful time in Guiseppe’s apartment. First of all, Guiseppe is great to work with, very helpful and informative. We were a little confused with the directions, so he found us on the busy square and led us to the apartment. He then gave us a tour and explained everything about the apartment. He gave us dinner recommendations and walked my husband there to show the way so that I could stay with our tired kids. Then he checked in during the stay (via message) to make sure things were all good. The apartment is spacious with great views out the balcony. It is equipped with a washer and dryer, which were very helpful. The town itself is very cool, with lots of restaurants and shops. The buildings are beautiful. You feel like you’re in the middle of a hopping Italian town, but it doesn’t feel touristy. The train ride to Venice is maybe 15 minutes. All in all, we had a great stay in Padova and would be happy to return to Giuseppe’s apartment!

Our 2-week stay at this lovely Padova apartment has been a highlight of our 6 weeks in Italy. The apartment itself is spacious, nicely decorated, and comfortable. The location was perfect--looking out on a bustling square (but with bedrooms in the back so it was really quite quiet.) It's also right around the corner from the amazing open air market--fresh fruit and veggies, meat, cheese, fish, wine, bread, etc. It was wonderful to be able to shop and cook as a way to connect with where we were. It's also an easy walk to the train station--which we used to take 2 easy trips into Venice for the day. But must of all, our host Giuseppe made us feel like welcomed guests. He was always quick to respond to our questions about what to see, where to shop and eat, etc. and always with great information, kindness and humor. He also went above and beyond assisting with various logistics. I came to look forward to our almost daily exchanges and we left Padova feeling that we had made a friend.

Wonderful stay in a perfect location

Giuseppe saved the visit. Things started out poorly as Padua shuts down in August. The parking garage he sent us to was closed when we arrived. Since it was in the limited access area, we were now subject to a big fine. Giuseppe called the garage to get us a space and the police to prevent the fine. When we returned to the garage, he was waiting for us. He helped with our luggage the short distance to the lodging, giving us tips and info the whole way. At the lodging, he greeted us with a bottle of the local wine and a fridge full of cold water. There was also plenty of tourist information to fully explore the town. Giuseppe then worked to get us dinner reservations at his favorite restaurant. Unfortunately, his favorite was closed during our visit but the place he sent us was fantastic. The lodging itself was wonderful. It was decorated with beautiful antiques but had an airiness thanks to the high ceilings. Sitting on the second floor with a balcony looking over the square, we saw the bustle of the market during the day and the restaurants set up in the evening. We had three large sleeping rooms -- two with large double beds and the third with two twin beds. There were two baths -- one with a bathtub the other with a shower. The air conditioning worked well which was important with daytime temps in the 90's. The kitchen was fully equipped and there was a washer and dryer. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely go back.

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!
