Residences

Guesthouses

ESU welcomes international guests to Padua who are primarily non-EU and part of the university world and traveling for study or work (professors, researchers, PhD students). We offer modern and well-equipped facilities, close to the main university campuses and conveniently connected to the city center.

The offer varies from rooms to suites, with weekly or monthly accommodation, up to a maximum of 6 months. Additional services, which may vary for each structure, are designed to guarantee a comfortable stay, including concierge, Internet connection, laundry and more.

Before the arrival, we suggest to consult the important information for guests staying at our residences.
