Ideally positioned in the Porta Trento area of Padua, this ultra-modern apartment is perfect for a couple looking to explore the city – with a ten-minute walk taking you to Scrovegni Chapel and the piazze – a neighbourhood full of restaurants, bars and beer houses. Nestled within 16th-century walls on the second floor of a renovated historic building, this apartment comes equipped with modern appliances and domotics – while much of the home’s characteristic elements have been kept – think original stone and vaulted ceilings for a combination of charm and contemporary living. A real highlight is the large terrace accessed from the bedroom – here you’ll feel fully immersed in the history along Padua’s arcaded streets.
