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!
A perfect apartment in Padova near the University. Clean and had everything we needed. Close to groceries, shops, and bus lines. No need for a car! Host met me there when I arrived to give keys and show the apartment. Highly recommend staying here.
Cant say enough about this property. Great location, clean, spacious and very convenient simple check-in process. I would choose this place again in a heartbeat.

What a wonderful appartement.It was perfect for us.And the location could not have been better.The sweetest hoast and beautiful city.Such a shame I only booked 2 nights.Next time we will expand our visit, considerably
We had an excellent time in this lovely, centrally located apartment. It is clean and comfortable, in a safe neighborhood. The hosts are very friendly and helpful -- Francesca met us and explained everything when we arrived. We would definitely stay here again upon returning to Padua!
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.
We enjoyed our stay at Giacomo's apartment very much. Perfect location in central Padova, yet still very quiet with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Recommended!
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.
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.
Stayed 2 nights with friends.
Clean well equipped apartment.
Walking distance to train station.
Host was super easy to communicate with.
Even met us at train station making check in a breeze.
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.

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.

L'appartement est spacieux. Bien aménagé. très cosy. On se sent chez soi. Il ne manque rien et Giacomo s'est montré disponible en nous accompagnant jusqu'au garage. Si vous venez en voiture le logement se trouve en Z. T. L.zone très réglementée mais Lorenza et Giacomo sauront vous conseiller. Je recommande à 200%
