Relais Colle San Pietro

Relais Colle San Pietro Overview

You know what really struck me about Relais Colle San Pietro? It’s one of those places that makes you feel like you’ve stumbled onto something special without even trying. I mean, with a 9.6 rating, I had high expectations going in, but honestly – this 4-star gem exceeded them in ways I wasn’t expecting.

The setting is absolutely breathtaking, perched up on this hill (the name literally means “Hill of Saint Peter,” which should give you a hint). When you first pull up, there’s this moment where you’re winding through these narrow roads thinking “am I going the right way?” and then suddenly the property opens up before you with these sweeping views that just… well, they make you stop mid-conversation. The architecture has that perfect Italian balance – elegant but not stuffy, historic but comfortable. I actually spent way too much time on my little balcony just watching the light change across the valley below. There’s something about the way the morning mist lifts that you can’t really capture in photos, you know?

What really sets this place apart though is how they’ve managed to maintain that intimate, personal feel despite clearly being well-run and professional. The staff genuinely seems to care about getting the details right – and I’m talking about the little things that make a difference when you’re actually staying somewhere. The rooms have this lovely mix of traditional Italian charm and modern comfort (thank goodness for good air conditioning in summer, honestly). I loved the attention to local materials and craftsmanship – you can tell someone put real thought into preserving the character of the place rather than just slapping some generic luxury finishes on everything. The beds are seriously comfortable too, which matters more than people admit when they’re writing reviews. Parking was easy, which is always a relief when you’re navigating Italian hill towns with a rental car. The only tiny thing I’d mention is that if you’re someone who needs to be right in the thick of urban nightlife, this might feel a bit quiet for you – but honestly, that’s exactly what made it perfect for me. Sometimes you need that peaceful escape where the loudest sound at night is just the countryside settling in around you.

  Location was excellent with the historic centre a few steps away and the furnicular next door. Valet parking was available which was a great help being in the heart of Verona! A magical, romantic city not to be missed! Many restaurants nearby to choose from with charming surrounds and atmosphere.
  Our suite was to die for with a magnificent panoramic view of the old town which was one of the best we have experienced in all our travels. Breakfast could be served on the balcony overlooking this panorama albeit at an extra price but certainly worth it! The armchairs on the balcony were a comfortable touch and if a little fresh blankets were supplied! Nothing was too much for Sandro who directed everything from medical attention that was needed to any service required. He was always on the other end of the phone to assist in whatever was necessary! We can’t thank enough Sandro!! Alessandra was also very obliging and wonderful with breakfast and any room service needed. Thank you Alessandra!
  Breakfast was abundant and room spacious and luxurious!
  The spa bath and the sauna in the shower was a perk and a lovely touch! Shall return in a heartbeat and recommend highly!! Thank you Sandro and Alessandra for a magical stay where we could relax and soak up Verona’s beauty!!
  
  What could be improved: As the bedroom in our suite was upstairs and toilet downstairs, it was a little tricky to navigate the steep descent because of our mobility issues but was manageable nonetheless.
