Could not be more centrally located, yet it is quiet and secure. It has been beuatifully renovated and meticulously maintained. All the amenities listed in the description are fully functional including th AC. We stayed here twice, each time for 2 weeks, and our experience has always been excellent. If I return to Padova, this is undoubtedly the place where I will stay again.

We absolutely loved this place! It was clean, comfortable and in a perfect location. The apartment had coffee, sugar, spices, toiletries and so much more in case you forgot to bring something. Our check in and check out was very smooth! We arrived by car and there is a parking garage close by that was very affordable! We would definitely come back and would highly recommend this property!

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.

A great Padova condo !

Fully renovated apartment, ideally located, in the core of a great monumental city. The apartment is well furnished and very practical. We spent 2 weeks and used most of the kitchen appliances at our disposal. I can only recommend this beautiful condo.

Nice Apartment in perfect location

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!

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.
