WRITE US:))

'Beavita' apartment is close to the historical centre of Padua. It is brightly coloured, fully furnished, with two bicycles and wireless internet service at your disposal. It is the ideal place to start discovering Padua, Venice, Verona, Vicenza, all the interesting sites of our Veneto region.

You will find… a good sofa to relax on, all the necessary information and, most of all, true courtesy.
These are some additional information about our apartment.

► Apartment
The apartment is at the second floor of an old three-floor building. There is no elevator, but just two flights of stairs.
Beavita is made up of:

▪ 1 double bedroom and 1 twin bedroom
The double bedroom has a three door wardrobe, night tables and a chest of drawers. In the bedroom, our guests will also find an alarm clock, a small TV set (it gets only Italian channels) with videotape recorder and a dvd player. The twin bedroom has a one door wardrobe, a chest of drawers and a desk as well.

▪ 1 bathroom recently renovated which has cabinet
shower, bidet, WC and sink.

▪ 1 kitchen
The kitchen is fully equipped to allow our guests to prepare excellent meals with the fresh ingredients bought at the supermarket nearby or at the vegetable market at Prato della Valle.
The kitchen contains a gas stove with electric oven, microwaves, big fridge, washing machine. Cutlery, crockery, pots and pans are provided. Guests of Beavita will also find 'the basics for cooking': salt, sugar, some spices, coffee, tea, and olive oil and vinegar are at their disposal in the cupboards.

▪ 1 living room
The living room has a sitting area where the guests can relax while reading a book or drinking a glass of wine on the sofa or on a comfortable armchair by the main window.
The living room contains a table which can accommodate up to 5 people and a cupboard hosting also a small 'travelers' library'. You will find books, guides and travel literature together with our informational material and maps on/of Padua and nearby resorts.

There is a narrow balcony (see the picture with the red
flowers ... not a terrazza then :)) and the most pleasant thing people generally find is that the all house is inundated of light!
Beavita has no telephone neither AC.

► The neighborhood
The neighborhood is mainly made up of two-floor houses with private gardens, very close one each other. It is a quiet area behind Prato della Valle, not far from the two Hospitals (Ospedale civile/Policlinico universitario) neither from the scientific faculties of the University of Padua.
The building stands at the end of a closed-end road. There is no traffic apart from people parking in front of their houses.
To park, you could do it in front of the building or there
is a safe, free on-street parking about two blocks away.

The apartment is surrounded by many different types of shops (2 supermarkets, food stores, newsagents, tobacconists, wine shop, clothes shop, etc.) a variety of pizzerias/restaurants and, last but not least, our favorite and one of the most famous cafè in town, Pasticceria da Celso. Moreover, in the area there are all necessary services (banks and bank machine, pharmacy, post-office and the newspapers/magazine library).

Whenever a guest arrives in town, we do our best to pick him up at the train or bus station and carry her/him home. If asked, we could also reserve a seat with the transportation service Airservice going from/to Padua to the airport of Venice-Marco Polo.

► Connections
To reach the center of the town you could go:

walking (20 minutes)
biking (10 minutes)
by tramway
by bus

Bus 11 stops/starts exactly at 5 minutes walking from our apartment and stops in the historical center.
Bus 3 (the stops are along Via D'Acquapendente), very close as well, stops in front of the train station. Almost every 30 minutes there is a train going to Venice (20 minutes reach), Verona, Vicenza, Ferrara, etc.

In our opinion the best way to visit/live Padua is using a bike. Our town has many bicycle paths and all-aged riders.
It is the quickest way to reach any point of the town and it is free! In fact, we have two bikes in the car-box you could ride during your stay in Padua.

So, keep in mind! You could get a bus+train and be in Venice in 40 minutes. In alternative you could take an extra-urban bus from Padua center and get to Venice (Piazzale Roma) crossing the beautiful Brenta Canal (Riviera del Brenta) while admiring the summer villas built for the Venetian noblemen in 18th century.
