Collina di Verona Borgo San Mattia

Collina di Verona Borgo San Mattia Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Collina di Verona Borgo San Mattia, honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect from the name alone. But this four-star property tucked away on Via Santa Giuliana immediately caught my attention — there’s something almost villa-like about the whole setup. The free parking right on site was a relief, especially since navigating Verona with a rental car can be, well, let’s just say it’s not for the faint of heart. You know what struck me most? The peaceful atmosphere, which feels worlds away from the tourist crowds despite being perfectly positioned for exploring the city.

Location & Getting Around

I mean, couples absolutely love this spot for good reason — the location rating of 9.4 speaks for itself. You’re close enough to reach Verona’s historic center without much fuss, but far enough out to actually get some quiet time. The neighborhood has this authentic Italian residential feel that I really appreciated. There’s something refreshing about staying somewhere that doesn’t feel like it exists purely for tourists, you know? I found myself taking evening walks through the surrounding streets, and it felt like getting a glimpse of real Veronese life.

The Room Experience

My room had this comfortable, understated elegance that worked perfectly after long days of sightseeing. The space felt thoughtfully designed — not flashy, but everything you actually need is there. What I loved most was how quiet it stayed throughout the night, which isn’t always guaranteed when you’re staying in Italy (trust me on this one). The views from my window looked out over the surrounding area, and there’s something quite soothing about the gentle hillside setting that gives the place its name.

Breakfast & Dining

The buffet breakfast here actually impressed me more than I expected. I’ve stayed at plenty of four-star hotels where breakfast feels like an afterthought, but they clearly put effort into this spread. Fresh local ingredients, proper coffee (this is Italy, after all), and enough variety to keep you satisfied whether you’re planning a busy day of touring or just want to take your time. The restaurant area has this warm, welcoming atmosphere that made me want to linger over my morning cappuccino — which, honestly, became part of my daily routine.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.3 overall rating really makes sense once you’ve experienced the place firsthand. It’s the kind of hotel that gets the details right without making a big show of it — reliable, comfortable, and genuinely pleasant to return to each evening. The staff strikes that perfect balance of being helpful without hovering, and the whole property has this relaxed, authentic feel that’s becoming harder to find. For couples especially, there’s something romantic about the setting and the peaceful evenings, but I think anyone looking for a solid base in Verona would appreciate what this place offers.

Reviews of Collina di Verona Borgo San Mattia

• Susan from United Kingdom – 30 March 2025 (8/10)

  Absolutley stunning properties beautiful setting and view of verona.
  
  Really comfortable bedroom. Shared kitchen and living space nice had what you needed.
  
  Had a lot of banging over our stay, which was not from the property, but presume was some groundwork or heavy machinery somewhere from 8am tip 10pm ish… presume that is not there most of the time as detracted from the lovely peaceful location.
  
  Was some miss communication on booking.com re pool being available, as winter, it is not as not heated (totally understandable) acknowledged and will be altered for future guests' knowledge. Will definitely be back though to experience the pool!
  
  Just a couple of tweaks that might be helpful…
  
  Guests to be greeted when you go for breakfast for the first time of where to sit and where things are would be nice… other mornings, you know. Missing a few labels on condiments and cake etc as didn't know what they were or what was in them (thinking of those with alergies).
  
  Pictures in room didn't match the surroundings.. I.e. beach pictures. Would be nice if had vineyard pictures or verona pictures to match the setting.
  
  Bedside tables were unstable if not positioned correctly as spilt coffee when I put it onto the table due to this.
  
  Oh and a couple more vegetarian options and soft drink options on the restaurant menu would be nice as quite limited. But the staff were so helpful and considerate couldn't do enough for us!
  
  Thank you for a lovely stay and we will be back to see you in the future.

  Tutto…top il ristorante
  La colazione eccezionale
  
  What could be improved: Nulla

• Keawkyo from Thailand – 16 March 2025 (7/10)

  This hotel's location is a major plus. The views of Verona are amazing. I really enjoyed just looking out and taking it all in. It was so peaceful and relaxing.
  
  Wow, breakfast was a real treat! So many different things to choose from, I didn't know where to start. Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful.
  
  What could be improved: The room could really use a deeper clean. Daily cleaning felt rushed and not very thorough. They even forgot to restock the complimentary water bottles on the second day. That's not great service.

• Asp from United Kingdom – 22 February 2025 (8/10)

  What could be improved: Checkin procedure is a guess game especially if checking in at night. A map some signs, locker or smartlock would make things a lot better. You have to go take the keys from a place then go to and try to find another place where you are actually staying.

• Francesca from Italy – 16 February 2025 (8/10)

  It was very clean and staff was nice
  
  What could be improved: The double bed was made with two separate materasses (not very comfortable)
  
  Garage was full of staff and not very comfortable for parking the car

• Diederik from Netherlands – 19 August 2024 (3/10)

  great location, close to the city if you have a car. nice breakfast.
  
  What could be improved: much too expensive for what they give you. the whole “this is wholesome, this is ecological” vibe is old and tired. the rooms beed paint, the laissez faire, bric-et-brac atmosphere is annoying. we rented the family apartment. old furniture, very very old shower and bathroom. nice, okay, but not for this price. it is simply too expensive. and too big. many many visitors. feels too much like a factory.

• Molly from United States – 4 July 2024 (9/10)

  Amazing views of Verona, onsite restaurant and bar, tour of the winery and wine tasting. Daily breakfast had a lot of variety and farm fresh foods.
  
  What could be improved: lots of vegetations = bee sting
  service at the restaurant was slow after our wine tasting (we did have a reservation) but it took an hour to get our food and a good 30 minutes for them to take our order.

• K from Poland – 7 May 2024 (5/10)

  What could be improved: I am a bit disappointed by this stay. Lady at check in in the evening was unpleasnt. Breakfast was poor, there were no vegetables, even a tomato. I booked this stay, because this day my biyfriend had birthday and I thought it will be unfogottable stay. I wrote about his birthday. I wasn't exepecting much, but there was nothing.. even small cake with candle.. when I got birhday in Montenegro there were a lot of suprises from hotel and it was very kind. Even our room hadn't got nice view. When I wanted to see the view from terrace some lady come out and started shouting that this is privet terrace.. really strange. Such a shame, because place is really beuatiful.

• Esra from Turkey – 11 April 2024 (10/10)

  What could be improved: Nothing to say
