Santa Lucia Suites

The neighborhood has plenty of restaurants and shopping, and it still feels calm and safe in the evening. That mix was a real pleasure. The apartment itself felt like home as soon as we arrived, with a warm atmosphere and thoughtful touches throughout. The host was attentive and went out of their way to handle our extra requests, which made the stay especially comfortable. It’s a stylish, comfortable place with a bit of elegance. I’d happily recommend it to travelers who appreciate those things. We came away with lovely memories and would like to return.

We found Padua just as interesting as Venice, but much more relaxed and friendly in pace. It was one of the highlights of our trip around Italy. Our suites were in a lovely part of Padua, and the rooms were both beautiful and comfortable. Alessandro was welcoming and incredibly helpful, which made the stay even nicer. The train is close by, so getting to Venice for the day was easy. We’d recommend the place and Padua wholeheartedly.

The city center location is lively, yet it was surprisingly quiet at night. That was a big plus for me. Alessandro, the owner, was friendly and helpful, and I’d recommend staying here. Inside, the room feels like a modern boutique hotel. It has a window, kettle, coffee maker, fridge, table and chair, TV, hair dryer, air conditioning, bottled water, and Wi-Fi. Entry is by keypad, so there’s no key or card to carry. The bathroom has a bidet, a glass shower enclosure, and a temperature control for the towel bar. The shower area is a bit dim. One thing to know with luggage: after the gate, there are 10 steps up to the elevator. We had two large bags and had to carry them up. The elevator is tiny, but the two of us and our bags just fit.

The room was clean and in good order, and I slept really well on the comfy bed and pillows. The shower was amazing. I’d recommend it!
