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.
