Giardino Ferrari Overview

First Impressions

You know what struck me first about Giardino Ferrari? The name actually makes perfect sense once you’re there — this three-star hotel really does feel like a hidden garden tucked into Verona’s hillside. I mean, Via Torricelle isn’t exactly where most tourists end up, but that’s honestly part of its charm. The moment you pull up (and yes, there’s free parking right on site, which is honestly a godsend in Italy), you realize you’ve found something a bit special. It’s not flashy or trying too hard, just this quietly elegant place that feels more like a well-kept secret than a typical hotel.

Location & Getting Around

Here’s the thing about the location — couples absolutely love it here, and I can see why. You’re up in the Torricelle area, which gives you these incredible views over Verona without being stuck in the tourist chaos down in the city center. It’s maybe a 10-minute drive to the main sights, but honestly, that little bit of distance makes all the difference. You get to experience Verona like locals do, in a residential area where you’ll actually hear birds in the morning instead of tour groups. The fact that recent guests rated the location a 9.0 tells you everything — sometimes being slightly off the beaten path is exactly what you want.

The Rooms & Atmosphere

The rooms at Giardino Ferrari have this understated Italian elegance that I really appreciated. Nothing over-the-top, but everything feels thoughtfully chosen — good linens, solid furniture, and those little touches that show someone actually cares about the guest experience. What I loved most was how quiet it gets at night. You’re away from the main roads, so you actually get proper sleep, which is rarer than you’d think when you’re traveling. The garden views from many rooms are genuinely lovely, especially in the morning when the light hits just right.

The Practical Stuff

Let me tell you about the parking situation because it’s actually a big deal — having free private parking at an Italian hotel is like finding a unicorn. No circling blocks looking for a spot, no paying ridiculous daily fees, just pull up and you’re done. The staff here really knows their stuff too, and they’re the kind of people who’ll give you actual local recommendations rather than just pointing you toward the obvious tourist traps. They understand that you’re staying here because you want something a bit more authentic, and they deliver on that expectation.

Why Guests Love It

With an 8.8 rating, Giardino Ferrari clearly gets something right that bigger, fancier places often miss. It’s that sweet spot where you feel like you’re staying somewhere special without paying upscale prices. Couples especially seem to get it — there’s something romantic about being tucked away in this peaceful corner of Verona, having your own little retreat to come back to after exploring the city. You’re close enough to everything that matters, but far enough away to feel like you’ve escaped the crowds. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to plan your next trip back to Verona before you’ve even checked out.

Hotels in Verona offer visitors the opportunity to stay in the heart of this medieval gem, with easy access to historic palazzos, charming piazzas, and renowned wine bars.

Reviews of Giardino Ferrari

  • Robert from Australia – 31 December 2024 (9/10)

    The location was amazing overlooking Verona the view the ambience and the spectacular sunsets & sunrises over Verona were awesome. The bed snd bathroom and facilities were great very comfortable. Breakfast was great each morning. The walking in the countryside was great. The trek into Verona was easy and simple.

    What could be improved: A comfier lounge or 2 chairs to sit and read would be nice. Better softer pillows. Otherwise it was great.

  • Maddie from United Kingdom – 1 November 2024 (9/10)

    Location. Staff. Stunning sunset and view of Verona. The garden is great if you paint or read. Definitely will be returning.

  • Aleksandar from Serbia – 20 August 2024 (9/10)

    This is located on a hill overlooking Verona. It's a beautiful winding road to get up and down and we are already missing it. Matteo provides a lot of useful info on arrival, for us most important a free parking space near the old city, just at the end of the mentioned road.
    Place has everything and most important in the summer – it's cool in the evening due to abundance of greenery around the place. Good parking space inside the property.

    Entire family is super friendly and approachable and there's always someone to offer help if you need it. Really a great place to stay as family.

    What could be improved: The only real downside are the Wi-Fi speeds. It's good and usable if you wake up early like 6-7am (which we did on few mornings) but it gets quickly congested as people in the household start using the internet more.

  • Predrag from Serbia – 27 July 2024 (8/10)

    Garden and city view

  • Laszlo from Hungary – 13 June 2023 (9/10)

    Wonderful environment, clean, comfortable, very cozy, unbelievable hospitality of a nice family. Very recommended. Perfect place for families and friends with beautiful view to Verona.

  • Kristina from Lithuania – 8 June 2023 (9/10)

    Very friendly owners, took good care of us. Beautiful and clean place, with view to the Verona city. Every morning we received freshly baked croissants, and recieved very nice surprise with cherries.
    We stayed without car so when we came it was almost 30minutes walk uphill from the bus station in the city centre to reach the place. But in the day time (between 9-19 h.) the bus stops like 1 minute from the the place so it was comfortable to reach city by bus.

  • Nigel from United Kingdom – 19 May 2023 (9/10)

    Location on the hill overlooking the city and miles beyond. Well presented apartment with balcony and modern kitchen. Loved the hall and stairway to the accommodation with the collection of tools and equipment, sharing the long history of the house. Our welcome from the host Matteo was fantastic, took time to settle us in and explain the rich history of the home. We walked to the city down the hill, and took the steep pathway option … easier going down than laden with shopping bags on the way back , but relished the challenge.

  • Sigita from Lithuania – 27 March 2023 (9/10)

    Great location on the hill with beautiful view of Verona. Apartment well equipped, rustic interior but very cozy with big balcony. Quiet area, perfect for families.

    What could be improved: –

  • Falk from United States – 22 September 2022 (9/10)

    nice modern room, great views.

    What could be improved: missing a mirror in the living room/kitchen area. also would be nice to have a safety deposit box in the room.

  • Art from Germany – 6 August 2022 (9/10)

    The view from the balcony was marvelous. The host family was very friendly and sweet. It was a very nice gesture to bring us some cherries from their garden.

    What could be improved: The house is a bit far from the downtown, but no problem all in all.
