Truly Verona Delle Erbe Suites
We used Booking.com to book our hotel in Verona - meaning we could reserve the room and pay nearer the time, which was ideal for the way we like to save for our holidays and trips. The booking process was smooth, and the hotel messaged to ask if I'd like to choose which of the three suites we wanted. I had a quick look on the Truly Verona website and opted for the Toscana Suite, and I was over the moon with this choice when we arrived.
Communication with the hotel
Truly Verona sent us a couple of Whatsapp messages in the lead up to our trip, asking if there was anything specific we wanted or needed, as well as letting us know how to get to the accommodation itself. This was really handy considering we'd never been to Verona before, and it meant we could easily get a taxi to the suite and show the driver the address; a lot of Verona is quite pedestrianised, so we couldn't get dropped off at the door but it was only around a 20 second walk from where we were dropped off, so it wasn't a problem at all.
Petra, who I'd been messaging, met us there and checked us in; she also sent me the link to pay the tourist tax, and sent over recommendations for things to do, bars, restaurants and more. She was always on hand to answer any questions we had and offer further recommendations, and we really appreciated it.
Location of the Truly Verona Delle Erbe Suites
Honestly, the suites could not be better located - our view was of Piazza Delle Erbe itself, the 'main square' in Verona which is lined with restaurants and is home to the daily market as well as the Lomberti Tower. It was just gorgeous to sit in the window and people watch when it was too hot, and generally just enjoy being so close to the hustle & bustle of the city. It also meant we were within walking distance of essentially everything we wanted to do or see; Juliet's balcony was less than a 5 minute walk away, and it only took us a minute or so to get to a nice restaurant/cafe for breakfast each morning.
The hotel is around a 30 minute walk from the train/bus station, but there are buses that go here from around a 10 minute walk away so for day trips from Verona you're not in a bad location either!
The suite itself
There are three Truly Verona Delle Erbe Suites at this location, and as mentioned I chose the Toscana Suite - definitely go for this one, for the view if nothing else! All three suites are on the third floor of the building; there are a few steps you need to go up inside and then a lift the rest of the way which takes you to the 'lobby' area for Truly Verona. Both the building door and the door to this lobby space (which has a bookcase, maps and so on) lock, as do the suites themselves, so it all felt very safe.
I won't harp on about the view much longer but honestly, it was incredible. As we overlooked the main square, we were worried it might be too noisy to sleep at times but with the windows shut we could barely hear anything outside! There is plenty of wardrobe space, a bathroom with toilet/sink/shower, a bed, TV, free WiFi, good air con, a coffee machine, fridge, table and chairs - and of course the view. Did I mention the view?
The bed was comfortable, the towels were actual human-sized pillows and not made for borrowers, and the coffee pods were replaced regularly - we got fresh towels as often as we needed them, the bed made each day if we wanted and so on. The room is traditionally decorated which is really lovely, it felt so peaceful and classic without being dated.
Would I recommend Truly Verona Delle Erbe Suites?
I think you know what I'm going to say - 100% yes! We paid just over £900 for 7 nights here in June, which is more than I would usually pay for self catered accommodation but it was summer, it was my 30th, and the location was so perfect. We really loved our time in Italy, and this beautiful central accommodation in Verona was the perfect base for us.
The place looks really beautiful, and given that you can pay more than that to stay places in the UK, it's not a bad price
