Free on Four Sides, Verona
Santo Stefano, Verona, Verona, Italy
Why We Selected It

A house free on four sides is rare enough in central Verona; one that also stacks the top two floors of a small period palazzetto, opens a double view onto the Lungadige and the hills, and comes with a private elevator and a private garage of roughly 100 m² is rarer still. The building holds only three units, so the residence reads more as a small townhouse than a flat — spread across a day level, a night level and a glassed altana at the top. What makes it work is the combination of breath (270 m², four bedrooms, three bathrooms), light (windows on every side), and outdoor room (two terraces, day-floor balconies, and the altana). The river-and-hill double aspect and the garage make it both a singular family home and a defensible central-Verona asset.

Life Here
The address
Santo Stefano sits in the heart of Verona, a short walk from the Adige embankments, Ponte Pietra and Piazza delle Erbe — a quiet, lived-in quarter of the historic centre.
The double view
The front looks onto the Adige as it runs through the city; the rear opens onto the Veronese hills — two fixed, unbuildable outlooks that change with the light.
Getting around
Verona Porta Nuova station is within easy reach on foot or by the private elevator and a short drive; the Arena and Piazza Bra are a few minutes' walk through the centre.
Getting there
Verona Villafranca airport is around 15 minutes by car; the A4 and A22 motorways link Milan, Venice and the Dolomites.
Our Perspective
Why it works
270 m² free on four sides, with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, two terraces and a glassed altana, in a three-unit period palazzetto in central Verona — at €1,150,000 the space, the double view and the private garage are the value, not the address alone.
Ownership case
Houses free on four sides seldom come to market in the historic centre, and a private 100 m² garage is a genuine scarcity. The double river-and-hill aspect and the altana give the property a character that is hard to replicate, supporting both a principal residence and a long-hold central-Verona investment.
What makes it special
The glassed altana looking onto the hills — usable as a panoramic study or a fourth bedroom — and the fact that the building holds only three units, so the residence behaves like a small townhouse rather than a flat.
Best suited for
A family wanting space, light and privacy in the centre of Verona without giving up outdoor room, or a buyer holding a rare central property where the garage and the double view are the enduring assets.
