A lovely family home in a very beautiful city
One of the joys of home swapping is being able to spend two weeks getting to know a city which we might otherwise only have visited for a long weekend. Verona definitely merits much more than just a pit stop. We were still finding surprises on the last day of our holiday. The Rossini family's spacious apartment is well appointed and equipped and is conveniently located in a quiet neighbourhood just outside the old city walls. The roomy balcony/terrace is perfect for outdoor family meals and benefits from a pleasant breeze in the evenings. In cooler weather, we would have walked everywhere but the frequent no 11 bus was a comfortable way to get to the city centre in the heat - a 10 minute ride to Piazza Bra and the Arena (Roman amphitheatre) and even quicker to the main railway station. Our sons used the electric Lime scooters and Verona bikes which were always available just round the corner from the apartment. Our car free holiday included easy day trips by train to Venice, Brescia (for the impressive Romanesque cathedral and Roman ruins) and the cooling waters of Lake Garda. Vicenza and Padua were also on our list but we over relaxed! Highlights in Verona were the opera in the Arena, the views of the city from the Roman theatre and from the top of the funicular, and walks along the river by Castel Vecchio. We enjoyed sampling traditional Veronese cuisine and the excellent local wines and ice cream. Special mentions go to the Rossinis' super helpful neighbour, Michelle, to the Antica Pasticceria on via San Marco for delicious breakfasts and sweet treats, and to the Double Clutch basketball shop (our older son's idea of paradise). Grazie mille to Francesco, Cinzia, Frederico and Lorenzo for their friendly hospitality, helpful notes and tips and great communication throughout and for leaving our house so clean and tidy. This was one of our most enjoyable swaps to date. Very best wishes from Anne,Tim, Will, James and Maja.

We just moved into our new apartment in August 2020 and we really love it!
Great neighbours, a wonderful terrace to eat and relax, plenty of sunlight, no noise from other apartments. So happy to be here.
We are open to short weekends exchange both in Italy and in Europe.
We live in a very quiet area with shops, restaurants, pizzerias and supermarkets nearby.
100 mt from bus 11 that will take you straight to the Train Station and to the center of town (Piazza Bra, where the Arena is). But you can easily walk (we recommend it, it's a nice promenade) or use the nearby bike sharing service.
Our brand new house has a big terrace to relax, a living room + kitchen to prepare and enjoy Italian meals, 3 bedrooms (1 double for the parents and 2 bedrooms for the kids) and 2 bathrooms.
If you need it, we also have a couch that can be used as a double bed and in the kids' bedroom there is an additional bed (bringing the total number of guests up to 8).
We can offer you wifi connection all around, but we chose not to have a Television. You can use our laptop, if you need it.
Verona is definitely a place to visit in Italy: it is the location of the famous Romeo and Juliet, in summer you can go to the Arena for some opera, you can sit in its nice squares and sip some of its famous red wines (Recioto, Bardolino, Amarone, Valpolicella, Soave) or just wander about visiting monuments of different ages...
It is recognized by Unesco as a World Heritage Site (http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/797).
If that is not enough, it is close to other amenities like Garda Lake with its many amusement parks (the most well known being Gardaland (www.gardaland.it), Canevaworld (www.canevaworld.it), Movieland (www.movieland.it), Zoo Safari (www.parconaturaviva.it)), Venice, Milan, Mantua, Vicenza, Padua...
We have an electric car (Kia e-Niro) and a wallbox with a type-2 plug in our garage.
