Vi enjoyed our stay at Hotel Porta Palio in Verona.
The hotel was centrally located with only 20-25 minuts to the Arena.
The hotel is a bit worn, especially the rooms, very sparse. There were no kettle or any kind of self-service if you want a cup of coffee during the day.
I don't know what we had expected, but this places is too spartan.
But we had a great to-day stay in Verona with lovely weather.
