It is located in the heart of Padova (Padua), next to the antique Casa Conti and San Luca Church. Bartolomeo Cristofori, known as the inventor of the piano, was baptized in this church. The same church is also mentioned in William Shakeaspeare The Taming of the Shrew: Bianca and Lucentio’s wedding takes place here. The big living room overlooks the garden from one side, and from the other it includes a bell tower dating back to the 14th century. The furnishings of the house take inspiration from art, travel and tango. Your hosts will be pleased to let you visit the old Casa Conti, where you can see valuable works of art. A unique experience for our guests. You can also join Argentinian tango events and public or private tango lessons. The apartment consists of a hall, a double bed bedroom with ensuite bathroom, a double bedroom (with double bed ot twin beds), a second bathroom, a big living with a sofa bed for two people, and a fully equipped kitchen. Perfect air conditioning is provided by low ecological impact thermal insulation. The house is inside the medieval city walls, Padua’s oldest one. All historical or artistic landmarks are at a walking distance: the pedestrian area along Roma St, the three famous squares with Palazzo delle Ragione, Caffè Pedrocchi, the old University, St. Anthony’s Basilica, Prato della Valle and Cappella degli Scrovegni. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car not required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Kitchenette - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2 private bathrooms - Bidet - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Slippers - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Piano - TV ### Outdoor areas - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In the city center - Near a hospital ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Soundproofing - Unit size: 872 square feet ## Similar properties ![Fridge, oven, stovetop, dishwasher](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/20000000/20000000/19993500/19993442/c762d306.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A gem in the heart of the city City Center Padova - Kitchen - Washer - Air conditioning - Living/dining area 10 Exceptional 43 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-08&endDate=2025-11-09&selected=19993442&PinnedHotelID=19993442&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![2 bedrooms, iron/ironing board, WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/119000000/118340000/118331000/118330916/69bc1934.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Accommodation in central location, Scientific University Pole, Hospital.
