Pietra di Verona Residenza

Splendid hotel within a 15 minute walk from all major sites. On the side of the river with the funicular. Breakfast is nicely situated in an adjoining restaurant. The rooms are quaint, ours with windows overlooking the street. We stayed two nights and enjoyed every minute of it. Highly recommended.

Residenza Pietra di Verona is a total disappointment. We booked a one night stay and were tucked away in an attic in the smallest room possible with stairs to climb and no proper window. The room 13 looks like an oratory with no comfort and decor. This room is not even featured on their website, felt bias. There is no service and no one to welcome you at check in and to assist you at check out, everything is through messages.

Verona is an extremely charming city. The historic center is nestled in a bend in the Adige River. There are narrow cobblestone streets, medieval buildings, and Roman ruins, Residenza Pietra is a lovely B&B within walking distance of the Roman Arena, Juliet's House, the historic city center, the Giusti Garden and the Roman Theatre, It is just up the hill from the funicular. It is well worth taking the funicular for a fabulous view of the city. To get to the historic center from the Residenza you cross the Ponte Pietra, a stone Roman bridge and pass through a gate in a tower. The staff people are friendly and the rooms are comfortable. The Residenza has a real Italian-style bar where breakfast is served for the guests and also neighborhood residents. There is fruit, cereals, yogurt, fabulous pastries, and, of course, cappuccino. Having breakfast there is a genuine Italian experience with people on their way to work, kids on their way to school, dog walkers, and others enjoying a coffee and a cornetto.

This hotel was absolutely perfect for our taste. Quirky, large comfortable Italian traditional type room, but with a modern clean bathroom . Breakfasts were "continental" (isn't that why you go abroad?) and as much as you could eat. The staff in the breakfast room/bar were exceptional in their service and responses to our enquiries. Anyone who did not like this property should go and stay in a Hilton or similar, where you could be anywhere in the world. The location was great, just a few minutes' walk from the sights and the main squares. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone considering a visit to beautiful Verona; but try to avoid all the Romeo and Juliet nonsense. There's a lot more to the city than that.

Great little quirky bar ideal for drinks and snacks while visiting the San Pietro area of the city. We just had small snacks and drinks but were made to feel welcome. We witnessed couples arriving to stay and thought it would have been lovely to stay there sometime,

Would not recommend this accommodation! Even though it is a great location, as a solo traveller who barely speaks Italian, the service is non existent and it is not at all as advertised. No staff at check in, I had to call a number and self check in. I did not see any staff member at the desk once during my 3 night stay to ask for recommendations or help. I actually received recommendations by chatting with friendly store owners in town! This morning at checkout, I text the owner asking for assistance booking a taxi to the train station. I received no response. I could not get through to the Verona taxi service via text, phone or app after trying over a dozen times. I called reception several times asking for help as I did not speak Italian. They said no, I have to do it myself and they would not help me. I had to walk 15 minutes through cobblestone streets with my luggage to the taxi rank and subsequently missed my train to Milan. I had to pay €41 for a new ticket. Appalling service and would not recommend unless you are happy to have zero staff around! Breakfast was also very basic and no eggs were left every morning when I arrived. Very disappointed in Pietra di Verona.

I stayed here for 4 nights in December. I would highly recommend this property. It was excellent!! I can't think of any faults. Great location, very clean, good wfi and very friendly staff. I'll be back!! Tom, Ireland
