Cozy spacious open space in Padua pedestrian area

The flat was clean, spacious, and well furnished. We loved the location and were in the center of the historic district. The dining and shopping were just out our front door. Sara was very quick to answer our questions. Our week in Padua was one of the highlights of our trip. I definitely recommend this rental. We plan on returning to Padua in the future.

The apartment was great - a perfect location near several lovely piazzas, lots of good restaurants and markets, and many sites that I wanted to see. It's about 1 km from the train station, so it's a reasonable walk or an quick bus ride, depending on your preference. The bed was comfortable and the main room spacious, but I recommend you bring earplugs with you for a better sleep......With the university and so many good restaurants nearby, the evenings can get noisy. My only complaint about the apartment was the very small shower stall, which made it difficult to scrub my hair or bend over wash my feet......Other than that, things were perfect.

Our 3 nights in Padua were amazing! The kitchen was perfect for cooking our daily lunches consisting of meats and produce from the open air market nearby. A bit noisy at night, but we didn't mind--we were in Padua!

Perfect!!!

Apartment Isabella served as our home while we enjoyed the many attractions that Padova has to offer. The unit is spacious, clean and fully equipped, with everything in good working order. We cannot imagine an apartment being better located. A baker and also a small well stocked grocery store are just across the street. The apartment is adjacent to the two principle markets, offering fruit, vegetables, meat, seafood and miscellaneous items, as well as the grand Palazzo della Ragione, built in 1218. Isabella herself got us off to a good start by giving us a helpful overview of what to see and do and where we might find the best food and drink. You could spend all your time right there and have a great stay, but there is more. It is a walk of some 5 or 6 minutes to the tram line, which puts you near every major attraction, which space prevents me from cataloging here, information readily available elsewhere. In summary, we wholeheartedly recommend this apartment and would stay here again personally.

My wife and I are retired and travel in Europe for 2 months in the summer. This past summer we choose Padua. In addition to the sights in Padua, easy access to Venice, Verona, Lake Como, Slovenia.. Padua is a very comfortable city. The people are friendly and in 2 months we did not run out of great restaurants. We initially knew very little about northern Italy, but were soon to learn and become very comfortable. What made this trip most memorable was the hospitality of Isabella and Francisco. Both went out of their way to assist when needed and showed us the warm hospitality of northern Italy. The accomodations were perfect. A fully appointed kitchen. The market(s) are a block away, located on a quiet residential street, safe, fitting our needs for our 2 months stay. Additionally, Isabella has a cooking class at her home where we were welcomed as if family. Highly recommended.

We loved Isabella's apartment. My daughter had studied in Padova earlier in the summer, so we made it our base when I met her in August. The apartment's location is excellent--half a block from a piazza with a daily farmers' market. It is in the heart of historic Padova, surrounded by sites, sidewalk cafes, lovely shops and colonnaded streets. The apartment is spacious, beautifully decorated, with a well-appointed kitchen if you want to cook, using the fresh ingredients found close by. Isabella is very warm and welcoming. Padova is also a great base for day trips to Venice, Bologna, Verona, and more. We were happy to return to our apartment and lovely Padova at the end of a day away.

This is a lovely and comfortable apartment in the best location. It is very clean, well appointed, and the owner was helpful in every way. It is steps from the market, shopping, and many places to eat. It is a special place to stay and Padova is a wonderful location.

Everything about apt Isabella is great! It's located just steps away from the markets, the University, the Jewish Ghetto. The apartment is very beautiful and spacious with comfort of the visitors in mind every step of the way. The hosts Isabella and Francesco are very friendly and helpful, always available to answer your questions. We followed Isabella's suggestions on what to do in Padova and enjoyed every one of them. We fell in love with Padova, really didn't want to leave and will definitely be back! And where we stayed played a big role in the way we felt. Thank you, Isabella and Franceso!

We were very happy with Isabella and her apartment. We used Padua as a central location to visit 6 cities in the Veneto. Trains are reliable, frequent, and inexpensive. Isabella has very good English, very prompt, and has things very well organized. Her place is colorful and has more than we needed. Good, efficient kitchen, and quick hot water. The apartment is about 15-20 minute walk from the train station, and it has the best location for 3 useful piazzas just off the center of Padua. We used the frequent trams (next to the train station) each afternoon or evening, which then stopped about 3 blocks from the apartment. We used Rick Steves' Italy book, too.Gary, 72 YO. Charlotte NC
