NIDO DEL GELSO Overview

You know what? I wasn’t expecting much when I first pulled up to NIDO DEL GELSO – honestly, the name intrigued me more than anything else. “Nest of the Mulberry Tree” has this poetic ring to it that made me curious about what I’d find inside. And I’m so glad I trusted that instinct because this little 3-star gem completely won me over.

The moment you step through the entrance, there’s this immediate sense of being welcomed into someone’s carefully curated home rather than just another hotel. The owner clearly has an eye for detail – I mean, everything from the locally-sourced artwork on the walls to the way the morning light filters through the common areas feels intentional but not stuffy. What really struck me was how they’ve managed to blend traditional Italian hospitality with just enough modern touches to keep things comfortable. The rooms aren’t huge (this isn’t a chain hotel, after all), but they’re thoughtfully designed with quality linens and these charming little touches that make you feel like you’re staying somewhere special rather than just convenient.

Honestly, that 9.1 rating doesn’t surprise me at all – the staff here actually remembers your name and your coffee preferences by day two, which is becoming rarer and rarer these days. I loved how they’d casually mention the best times to visit local spots or which trattoria down the street serves the freshest pasta (and trust me, they know what they’re talking about). The breakfast spread might not be elaborate, but everything’s clearly fresh and local – you can taste the difference in the tomatoes and mozzarella. One small thing that impressed me was how quiet it stays even when fully booked; the walls are solid, and there’s this peaceful courtyard that seems to absorb any street noise. If I’m being completely honest, the WiFi can be a bit spotty in some corners of the building, but honestly? Sometimes that’s exactly what you need on vacation. This is the kind of place where you’ll find yourself lingering over morning espresso longer than planned, chatting with other guests about hidden gems they’ve discovered, and actually feeling sad to pack up and leave.

Travelers should reserve a hotel in Verona at least two months ahead for major events like opera performances and wine festivals, ensuring the best rates and prime locations near popular romantic sites.

Reviews of NIDO DEL GELSO

  • Hilary from Italy – 17 October 2024 (10/10)

    Struttura bellissima , vicinissima ai punti nevralgici ma immersa in un giardino che isola da rumori e caos . Stanza super curata con ogni confort e pulitissima, materasso e cuscini che garantiscono un sonno pazzesco. La signora che ci ha accolti professionale e gentilissima, si è preoccupata di spiegarci ogni cosa e di darci disponibilità per le varie richieste.

    What could be improved: Nulla

  • Teresa from Spain – 14 August 2024 (10/10)

    Estuvimos muy a gusto, la habitación esta muy bien equipada, todo esta nuevo y muy limpio. Se encuentra a poco minutos de Verona y Sirmione. Sin duda espero volver a alojarme allí y lo recomiendo al 100%.

    What could be improved: Nulla andava tutto bene

  • Valentina from Italy – 12 July 2024 (8/10)

    La struttura si trova fuori Verona, vicino all'aeroporto e all'autostrada, senza però subirne i disagi del rumore e fastidio infatti le camere sono ben insonorizzate e con un'ottimo impianto di climatizzazione: abbiamo dormito benissimo. Bellissimo il giardino con un piccolo laghetto artificiale, ideale per chi vuole rilassarsi all'aria aperta. Dispone di parcheggio interno. Camera ampia e ben arredata dotata di ogni comodità, bagno ampio e comodo. La proprietaria è stata gentile e disponibile. Il centro di Verona si trova a 15 minuti di macchina mentre il lago di Garda poco meno di 30 minuti.

  • Markus from Germany – 22 September 2023 (9/10)

    Very nice rooms in a little lodge in the north italian fruit plantations. Kind owner, very modern interior, nice surroundings, safe parking lot.

    What could be improved: No smart TV.

  • Louisa from Cambodia – 29 May 2023 (10/10)

    Had such an amazing stay here , the area itself is beautiful. The rooms are also very comfortable the bed is big and they are kept very clean I cannot find a single fault or problem. The host is so helpful and kind she was really something special and if you need anything she will be there to advise you. This is definitely somewhere you will need a car as there is not much around within walking distance. Cannot recommend enough if I ever visit the area I would stay again! Thanks again for everything!

  • György from Hungary – 12 September 2022 (10/10)

  • Bigmalcs from Romania – 18 August 2022 (7/10)

    Loved the quiet and spacious location. With a room with a big shower and lovely balcony. With some water available in the fridge. Plus a lovely garden

    What could be improved: It is a really lovely property but accessing it using public transport is very tricky. Best use a taxi or personal vehicle.
