I really wanted to give this place an excellent review because on balance it deserves it: the location was excellent, the staff fantastic and the condition great.
Except... no hot water.
We had two rooms (oh, bathrooms are shared here:seven rooms, two bathrooms; you need to be cool with that if you intend to stay here, we were, until...) and neither of the bathrooms we had ran warm water. Not even tepid. Not even cold. Freezing.
When we got there, the staff member said there was a trick to getting one shower warm, but the other was okay.
Here’s the thing, there shouldn’t be a trick. Not in the twenty-first century in a first world country when you’re paying good money. Things should just work.
They didn’t. Two bathrooms, three guests, three freezing cold showers.
But let’s not dwell on the negative.
Dreaming is a great option for Verona. Good location, short walks everywhere including station and historic centre. Great eating all around it, including one of the best pastry shops we struck in Italy on the bottom level of the same building and a vegan burger joint directly across the street.
Looks like it was a converted apartment, nicely furnished and decorated, safe and quiet and comfortable. The staff member who met us there was fantastic. Don’t be put off by shared bathrooms, that worked better than we thought it would.
I recommend it... if they sort out the cold shower business.
