“Lovely and perfectly done. Luxurious for the price, great location, great everything.”
After a miserable week (almost) at a horrid hotel on Lake Garda, we bailed. We decided a multinational might be our best bet to get a decent room, air conditioning, at least minimal cleanliness. The Hotel De Capuleti far, far exceeded our minimal requirements. The room was well decorated, but thoughtfully so considering it was the smallest the hotel has to offer; we were lucky to get it at the last moment, in fact. The bed was comfortable and the linens first-rate. The room had everything one needs--wardrobe, desk and chair, TV, night stands, minibar--in a compact boiserie space. The bathroom was very tiny--only a shower--but well appointed and the towels were abundant, fluffy, white and welcome after the dishtowels we had suffered with at the horrid hotel on Lake Garda. The hairdryer was powerful, and the complimentary soaps and things were pleasant, as natural as they could be in a commercial establishment, in fact.
Parking was free in designated places on local streets, but a space was easy to find and the hotel provides a card to display so guests won't get a ticket. One can also pay extra for valet parking, but really, I can't imagine a need unless you were driving an SUV in which you couldn't get items out of sight. We could, but still took even the suitcase we didn't need right then inside, just in case. I think we needn't have. I saw tons of police cars cruising the neighborhood, so I doubt there's much crime. It is a good neighborhood, too. Clean, convenient to the medieval part of town and all the Romeo and Juliet legend things, as well as Roman sites.
The staff was very pleasant and helpful, and all spoke at least a tiny bit of English (some a lot more) which was very helpful to us.
The continental breakfast was the best I've ever seen. Any sort of coffee you wanted. Tons of glorious fresh fruit. Four kinds of natural cereal. Yogurts. Ham. Salami. A few different cheeses. A supply of brown eggs and a cooker in which you could put your egg and select form very soft soft-boiled to hard boiled. There was also a selection of pastries, including a delicious apricot tart. (OK. I admit. That is one of my favorite foods, so anyone providing it is likely to be kindly thought of by me.)
We both loved this hotel. The air conditioning was excellent, a real treat after an antiquated, hardly working system on a time schedule at the rotten hotel in Lake Garda. We are, actually, eager to return to Verona, and, if it's at all possible, we will stay at this hotel.
Room Tip: It seems to me all the rooms are lovely; we had the very smallest and it was terrific.
