Casa Berner, apartment in historic residence in the center of Pavia

Casa Berner truly deserves five stars.The house is beautiful, comfortable, and very clean, with a lot of charm in its decorations. You truly feel at home the moment you arrive.The location is exceptional, right in the heart of the city, close to everything you might need, including a beautiful view of the Duomo and the historic district.I highly recommend it. The host is a very kind and nice person.

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Berner! It is a beautifully decorated apartment with wonderful views of the Duomo, and provides lots of space between the two bedrooms and living room. The kitchen is particularly well-stocked so you can easily prepare your own meals. The apartment is also very centrally located, so we found we could easily walk everywhere in town. The host was incredibly accommodating and checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. I would gladly stay here again!

Apartment and location was terrific. However the noise level from street level kept us awake through the nights.

Everything went very smooth. The apartment is spacious and had everything we needed to be comfortable. If we return to Pavia we will definitely rent this apartment again. Thank you

We stayed in Francesca’s own apartment in the same location. We were visiting Pavia on a family holiday. It is a very comfortable and attractive apartment. It includes all conveniences and was very clean. It’s central location does mean that there is street noise at night. We knew from Francesca when we booked and it was not a problem for our stay. It is much quieter in the bedrooms which are a floor above the sitting room and at the top of the building. Francesca was a very helpful, reliable and responsive host. She was excellent. Pavia was a lovely place to visit and base ourselves for a week. The apartment is an easy 10-15minute walk to the train station. The main square and Duomo square are only a couple of minutes either direction from the apartment. We really enjoyed our stay in Pavia in Francesca’s property. Thank you Francesca.

We had stayed in this apartment for ten days in early September 2017. The apartment was tastefully and comfortably furnished (including air conditioning) and was immaculately clean when we had arrived. Francesca was a very welcoming and an attentive owner who made sure we were comfortable and our stay there was as pleasant as possible. The apartment is very centrally located and ideal for shopping, local dining and sightseeing. It can get a little noisy at night from the local bars but no more than can be expected in any other central Italian city location. In conclusion, our overall experience was an exceptionally positive one and we highly recommend.

We stayed in Casa Mimma for 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Francesca was responsive via emails prior to our stay and both her and her son who greeted us at the apartment on arrival were extremely helpful and friendly. Both speak excellent English. We appreciated her very thoughtful gesture of including a small amount of basic items such as milk, spreads, fruit and yoghurt. We needed to visit a smaller outlying village during our stay and Francesca helped us with arranging taxis. The apartment itself is well appointed and beautifully furnished. We only used the kitchen for breakfast and the occasional lunch, however it appeared to have what is required to make a meal. The beds and sofas were comfortable. The whole apartment was spotlessly clean. It is extrememly conveniently located just around the corner from the Duomo and the main piazza della Vittoria. All the sights were within easy walking distance. The apartment is a flat 800-900m from the train station and is an easy walk (straight pretty much all the way until the last turn at the end). I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Thank you Francesca for helping us make our visit here so enjoyable!

The apartment was just redone and in the highest quality, with a large master bedroom, spacious closets, a second room for odds and ends, a washing machine, central location, quiet despite noise from university students. A excellent bathroom adds to the quality. The A/C was excellent; the hostess helpful with suggestions and comments about Pavia. The town itself is full of architectural churches from medieval and renaissance era, and was worth more than the three days we gave it. The Wikipedia Italiana has excellent entries on the buildings. Some very good restaurants with risotto a special local dish. A famous old city with marks of many centuries everywhere.

We have just spent a week in this recently renovated apartment in the charming university town of Pavia. Our host Francesca could not have been more helpful and friendly. She has provided everything one needs for making the place feel like home. It is both elegant and very comfortable. The location in the centre of the old part of the town was wonderful with the main square, the markets, and wonderful places to eat out all so close. Even the noise of happy students in the street at night did not spoil our stay. We would certainly stay again one day.
