I've read a few reviews of the Villa Fran. on TA and was very surprised. Anyone who has anything negative to say about the place (apart from those f*****g dogs. . .) has completely missed the point. Apart from the fact that it is blindingly cheap (3 nights there last weekend cost me 54 Euros), the setting is superb and... More

First of all, this hotel is far from the centre (a 15 minute walk) and some uphill walking is required, in case you carry heavy luggage. Secondly, do not expect any kind of service here, very rude staff who care only to check you in, to take your money and to throw you out first thing in the morning. You... More

The hostel is a 10-5 minute walk away from the town centre up an old cobblestone street. The hostel is quite a large property set in beautiful gardens, free wifi, basic breakfast. Great value at 20 euro each for a private 4 bed room with ensuite set in the garden, perhaps an old summer house? There is a castle just... More

We came to Verona for a day but due to unforeseen circumstances decided it would be best to stay the night. Unfortunately, it was a huge holiday weekend in Italy and virtually all other hotels were full. This was the first hostel stay for me and my three friends and it was a night to remember (...for all the wrong... More

I arrived around 11am to discover that the gates don't open until 5pm. I was worried I would have to carry my big backpack around town with me, but I rang the bell and the cleaning staff was there and let me leave my bags behind the counter until check in. The area is lovely, up a cobblestone hill in... More

This hostel is very very pretty, located at the top of a cobblestoned hill. It's walkable from the town centre. An 11.30 curfew felt a bit limiting, especially to two 20 year old girls who haven't had a curfew in about 5 years. Breakfast was very basic, breadrolls, preserves and tea or hot chocolate. The showers in the girls dorm... More

The best thing of this hostel is the garden. Where you wake up and could listen to the singing of birds. And the breadfast and pasta is also good.

Set on a hill in the town centre of Verona, this youth hostel was once a private villa. Surrounded by gardens, it still maintains the feel of an old villa, although the rooms are standard dormitories. Don´t expect air-conditioning, and the breakfast is only composed of coffee, tea, bread, butter and jam...but it was a very inexpensive stay and comfortable.... More

This youth hostel was better than most in Italy. The old Villa in an amazing part of the city and reachable by the 73 bus from the station. Dinner is 8EUROS a night and all is homemade. A great atmosphere aswell.
