I have just spent 3 weeks at Via Saragozza 53, I returned after spending 4 days there, a few years ago. The hospitality and kindness of Patrizia and Franco have been mentioned often in the reviews. They exhibit a personal but non-intrusive interest in your enjoyment of their apartment and their city. There are guides, and maps and brochures for everything. The apartment is immaculate and well equipped, from the First Aid kit to the pots and pans. This was important for me because I enjoyed going to the Markets and coming home to cook myself dinner. Mercato delle Erbe is walking distance, (as is the Quadrilatero) and you can enjoy the Italian version of a ‘food court’ before shopping.
The location is wonderful. It is a ten minute walk to Piazza Maggiore - I walked everywhere from the apartment, the canals, the towers, the churches. It’s a longer walk to Porta San Momolo and the Ospedale but you’re rewarded with a beautiful view and a nice park. The other long walk is to Santa Lucia. I recommend heading in that direction, towards and beyond Porta Saragozza, there are some great restaurants, pizzeria’s, coffee shops, bakeries. and a wonderful opportunity to participate in a more local experience. Porta Sarragozza is impressive. . . . Can’t say enough, I’m already planning the next trip.
