Conti house, a cultural experience in the footsteps of Shakespeare

Foresteria Conti has recently been restored and renovated. It is located in the heart of Padova (Padua), next to the antique Casa Conti and San Luca Church. Bartolomeo Cristofori, known as the inventor of the piano, was baptized in this church. The same church is also mentioned in William Shakeaspeare The Taming of the Shrew: Bianca and Lucentio’s wedding takes place here.

The big living room overlooks the garden from one side, and from the other it includes a bell tower dating back to the 14th century. The furnishings of the house take inspiration from art, travel and tango. Your hosts will be pleased to let you visit the old Casa Conti, where you can see valuable works of art. A unique experience for our guests. You can also join Argentinian tango events and public or private tango lessons.

The apartment consists of a hall, a double bed bedroom with ensuite bathroom, a double bedroom (with double bed ot twin beds), a second bathroom, a big living with a sofa bed for two people, and a fully equipped kitchen. Perfect air conditioning is provided by low ecological impact thermal insulation.

The house is inside the medieval city walls, Padua’s oldest one. All historical or artistic landmarks are at a walking distance: the pedestrian area along Roma St, the three famous squares with Palazzo delle Ragione, Caffè Pedrocchi, the old University, St. Anthony’s Basilica, Prato della Valle and Cappella degli Scrovegni.
The vacation home is soundproofed and features a kitchen and 2 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi.

Beautiful spot!

An amazing apartment. Absolutely beautiful, with everything we needed. The tram was under construction but Giorgio gave us directions to the bus. Our train had been delayed so we were very late and Giorgio was kind enough to meet us on the street to guide us through the last bit. Lots of space for our teenage daughters and us. Lots of great places to eat close by with super friendly service.Highly recommend this place and wonderful host. Wish we had more time. We'll absolutely be back.

A gem in the heart of Padua

We had a fantastic stay at the Conti house. Fab location, welcoming and helpful host, clean and modern apartment with 2 lovely bedrooms and bathrooms. The 14th century wall, lit and covered in class provides a authentic and historic backdrop in the main living area. Very useful parking for one car next to the apartment in the pedestrianised zone. Short walking distance to restaurants, piazzas, frescos and more. It really is a gem. We will return. Thank you Giorgio.

Best apartment in Padua

We were greeted by Georgio on arrival & shown around the appartment. We were not disappointed. He has thought of everything. The place is stunning & very well positioned to enjoy Padua. The beds were super comfy with temperature control in the whole appartment keeping us snug at night. Georgio alerted us to a train strike so that we were able to make alternative arrangements for our departure. He even called us a taxi to take us to the bus station. Thank you Georgio for a wonderful stay.

Excellent location with generous inclusions

Giorgio was a wonderful host and gave us a complimentary viewing of his family’s historic mansion next door with an extensive art collection and good suggestions for places to visit and restaurants. Exceptionally new/clean apartment with well stocked kitchen, complimentary bottled water and Prosecco, folder with lots of information about Padova and the apartment was tastefully decorated. Overall better than photos suggest. Perfect for 2 couples but also has good sofa bed in living area for additional people. Highly recommended.

Wir haben uns ganz bewusst für eine Wohnung in der Altstadt entschieden. Man ist im prallen Leben, kann den Markt besuchen und gut selber Kochen. Wir lieben die Wohnung und kommen wieder
