B&B Due Terrazze

This is what vacations are made of.
Centrally located in the historic district of Verona, the B&B 2Terrazze takes its name from the two lovely terraces that saddle the place, providing either a lovely spot to breakfast under the Verona sun, or a quiet reprieve from the city bustle to study one’s city guide.
I was eminently pleased with the cleanliness, privacy, décor, and cheer at 2Terrazze. Check-​in is usually at 2:00PM or 2:30PM, depending on what is arranged. Once inside the courtyard, and up the flight of lovely steps, one enters a lounge that is in many respects an oasis. Here, one can browse literature about the city, inform oneself of Verona’s current events and cultural opportunities, including the current opera programme at the Arena.
The room was comfortably furnished with everything one might wish, save perhaps an extra waste paper basket for the desk. The bed was fresh and inviting, and the shower/​bathroom was fit for a four-​star hotel. Air conditioning is a must-​have in Verona, and 2Terrazze provides that sweet kiss of cool like a champ. Owing to the comfort and class I was wallowing in, I found myself unable to protest against sacrificing two hours of my preciously short stay in Verona to relax, cool, and collect myself and to plan the specifics of my agenda for my stay.
The owner, Alessandro, is a young, amicable fellow who speaks Italian, English, Japanese, and some German. He is quite knowledgeable about the city, and guided my party to a lovely osteria for our evening meal, in addition to advising us on other possibilities throughout the city. Sadly, we couldn’t follow up on all his recommendations, but you know what they say… live to Unilocal another day!
Alessandro said that he receives so many German guests, that he has started serving German-​style breakfasts, in addition to the compulsory Italian-​style breakfast. He makes a great cappucino. I think it was while sipping my second cup on the back terrace that I decided I could stay in Verona for at least another month, if time were permitting.
For those who spontaneously decide to stay a bit longer, Alessandro cooperates with the owner of another flat that is also quite centrally located, and actually optimally situated halfway between the main train station and the Arena/​Piazza Bra’. The apartment is cute, air conditioned, and well-​furnished, even with a washing machine. The only drawback is the absence of wifi.
