Gioia B and B is located conveniently within walking distance from the Padova train station. We stayed three nights and took the train to Venice each morning. The B and B is located on the first floor of a secure building which has been nicely renovated in a sleek, Scandanavian style. There are three rooms; two of them have private... More

We found this place by accident, but are very glad we did, our host was wonderful and very helpful. The rooms were very clean, comfortable and reasonably priced, and the bathrooms were fun (steam shower in ours!) Breakfast was good, and we were given great tips on things to do and see in Padua. We would definitely stay here again... More

We drove to Padova from Verona. We got lost before we found Gioia and called Lorenzo for help.He simply dropped what he was doing and came to find us in Prato della Valle, Padua's main square about 5 km from the B&B. Lorenzo could not have been more pleasant and accommodating host. He let us park our car for free... More

This house ir very, very confortable. The owner (Lorenzo) is a friendly person and gave us nice referrals about city interest points. We used this hotel as base to visit Venice and Verona by train (is very cheap eur 3,00). The hotel is very close to the train "stazzione". The rooms are large, the bathroom is very confortable (with jacuzzi).... More

We only stayed one night in Padova on our honeymoon, but had a comfortable and wonderful stay. From the train station, it takes about 5mins to walk to the B&B (there are two ways, the longer way is the one along the overpass). There is a tram stop at the roundabout near the B&B and also a bus terminal outside... More

Lorenzo was the perfect host. My wife and I had just arrived from Budapest without a reservation and when contacting the B&B Lorenzo made the journey from Venice to Padova seem like an adventure with detailed instructions to find the B&B. The accommodations were easily 5 star. The hospitality was over and above the call of a host. Quick to... More

My wife and I, along with our thirteen year old son, stayed at B&B Gioia one night on our return to Rome after visiting Venice. The B&B is within easy walking distance of the railway station. The accommodations were very comfortable, and the owner was exceptionally helpful in getting us oriented for our visit to the Scrovegni Chapel and other... More

Lorenzo (the proprietor) was exceeding helpful in ensuring that our trip was a success. Between a dead phone and striking train conductors, we were five hours beyond the time we were supposed to arrive and he not only waited for us but attempted to apologize for our lateness. The room was clean and the amenities superb. We enjoyed every minute... More

After a long tour of several cities in Italy, I decided to stay in Padova for the last couple of days and honestly Gioia one of the best places in cleanliness, comfort of the rooms, beds, bathroom, the convenience of location as well as how very helpful they were. More
