Hey from Bob

Member since December 2005 | 69,604 hits

Bob and Jenny's B&B was the first in downtown Vicenza. They got the idea of opening a bed and breakfast in Vicenza in 2002 after extensive travels in Asia, Europe and America. Bob is from New Jersey and has been living in Italy for over 38 years, sleeping outdoors in a sleeping bag for 2 months after first arriving in Vicenza back in 1980. He is fluent in Italian and has traveled all over Italy thru the years and enjoys having guests to show around.

Jenny comes from Thailand and is fluent in both English and Italian. She enjoys cooking Thai food for guests, and both teaches and performs massage at home. Bob is a musician and plays the piano downtown at local clubs. He and Jenny live right in the building where they have the B&B. Together they enjoy hosting guests and introducing them to Vicenza and Italian culture.

Great location for those who love to walk! Accommodation equipped with everything that may be necessary for a short stay. Bob is an absolutely hospitable owner, very kind and available even for a chat over a good glass! We had a great time and recommend Bob and Jenny's B&B.

Very pleasant stay, the property is located in the middle of nature, surrounded on one side by the meticulously maintained garden that offers a wonderful view of Monte Berico and on the other side the flowing river equally suggestive, adding then the great courtesy and kindness of the owner, Bob, and the proximity to the center. Highly recommended! Nicoletta.

I had a very good time at this Bob and Jenny's B&B. Bob and Jenny are excellent hosts, always kind and ready to help. The property, although a bit off-center, is well connected to the city center via a cycle path. The property is very well maintained and very clean. Excellent internet connection.

Bob and Jenny's B&B is a great place to stay in Vicenza. It has a free parking not far from the house. The rooms are comfortable, clean, and air-conditioned. In a 15-minute walk, you can reach the center of Vicenza, and it's very convenient to visit Villa Valmarana, the Rotonda, and the sanctuary of Monte Berico. There is a kitchen provided with everything to prepare breakfast. The owner is kind, helpful, and welcoming: he made us feel at home, and also gave us many recommendations on places to visit in the city.

We really enjoyed our stay at Bob and Jenny's. The apartment is about a 15-minute walk from the train station. Our bedroom was spacious, quiet, overlooked the garden, and had air conditioning. We also had a separate bathroom for sole use. The kitchen is functional, but I would have liked a microwave as there is no oven. There is a large supermarket and restaurants nearby. Although we did not get to meet Bob and Jenny, we communicated via WhatsApp.

Spacious room equipped with everything you need, in a central and convenient location close to all services. Extremely kind and helpful owners, they left us the parking space and brought us back to the station on the day of departure. We will come back!

Very nice, friendly and helpful hosts. The accommodation is very central and yet offers quiet rooms. The rooms are functional and absolutely clean. Only the breakfast could be a bit more varied.

We arrived in Vicenza by train and Bob was very kind to pick us up at the station by car and offered to take us back on the day of departure. The center of Vicenza is easily reachable on foot as well as the Basilica on Monte Berico. A nice weekend of sports (I participated in the ultrabericus) and relaxation.

The proximity to downtown and historic landmarks is within walking distance. Restaurants were nearby, there are walking and bike trails outside the gated garden. Bob is a great host; we enjoyed our stay in Vicenza, now we are off to Florence. Ciao!

Bob was an excellent host: precise, punctual, and friendly.\n\nHe didn't spare advice and itineraries to follow, accompanied by the gift of a local wine bottle.\n\nThe location of the house, then, overlooking the bike path that leads to the city, is very convenient!

Great Bed and Breakfast, clean, quiet and equipped with every comfort. It's only a 10-minute walk from the center of Vicenza and is surrounded by villas to visit, pizzerias, bars, clubs, and a supermarket. It is worth mentioning the availability and welcome of Bob and Jenny, truly very kind, friendly, and always smiling. Definitely recommended!

Bob's welcome was friendly and respectful, practically a friend you didn't know you had. The B&B is clean, a 10-minute walk (pedestrian/cycle path) from the historic center of Vicenza, and 10 minutes on foot from Villa ai Nani and another 5/10 minutes from Villa Rotonda. Thank you Bob!

We were delighted with Bob and Jenny's B&B! This was our first visit to Veneto and Vicenza, and Bob and Jenny were wonderful hosts during our stay. Bob was responsive and helpful during the booking process and was a wealth of information about the region. We noticed that Bob and Jenny had thought of everything to make our stay comfortable and relaxing. Our unit was spotless, parking was easy, and the unit is only a short walk from shops, restaurants, and the beautiful center of Vicenza. A lovely touch to our stay was to hear Bob playing some of his own compositions on his piano - very talented! We hope to return to Vicenza and will be sure to be looking to Bob and Jenny's place for our next visit.

Breakfast food was left in the fridge, so in a way, breakfast is provided. The apartment had everything you would need, including organic olive oil for cooking, milk, orange juice, yogurt, and more in the fridge, and a big supermarket is close by. Bob was very helpful. We chose the property because it is close to villa Malvarana and La Rotunda, but it is not a far walk to the train station and the city center.

Fantastic location and outstanding hosts for their friendliness, availability, and kindness. Immaculately clean, welcoming structure equipped with every useful appliance. A beautiful garden where you can eat or just relax, all immersed in nature just steps from the city center. A great memory. Highly recommended.

This B&B was just what I wanted. It was spacious, tastefully equipped and decorated. My room had a walk-out onto a terrace with good views. The hosts were most helpful in many ways. I would certainly go back there and recommend highly.

This was ideal for us. The room was spacious, comfortable, and quiet; the location was as near to the center as we could find; parking was made available for us; the access to kitchen facilities was just what we like, although we chose to eat out during the day and evening, we could easily supplement the continental breakfast that was provided. The apples were yummy.\n\nOur hosts couldn't have been more helpful, and the terrace overlooking the garden a peaceful spot to enjoy breakfast al fresco.

Definitely a positive experience! The apartment, which we used entirely, is new and very comfortable, with a nice view of the garden. Also, it is just a few steps from the center of Vicenza. Bob and Jenny's B&B convey friendliness from the very first moment and supported us in all our needs. We will definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to visit Vicenza and the Venetian villas in the surroundings.

The house is well furnished, with a kitchen, and is very clean. It is located a maximum of ten minutes of quiet walking from the center. The managers are very nice and caring, and they provide useful information for visiting the city. In the morning, the breakfast is rich. If you are going to Vicenza, I recommend it.

I recommend it for those who prefer personal contact with the locals. It is also a good option for exploring the region. The contact with the owner is excellent and his accommodation allowed us to rest well after our intense days of sightseeing.
