Reviews

  • Ondřej from Czech Republic – 6 April 2025 (10/10)

    Exceptional…..Amazing…. Lovely place with strong story

  • Cosimo from Italy – 2 January 2025 (10/10)

    Best views of Verona, amazing and quiet spot and incredibly well furnished and cared place. Two swimming pools add to the idea of a Citycation. Verona few minutes away and all the quiet of the countryside.

  • Melissa from Australia – 22 October 2024 (10/10)

    When a place is cared for by the owner and the staff respect the owner you can feel that type of love in every communication and every detail. Our family loved being here and sharing Verona from this space.

  • Daniela from Italy – 7 October 2024 (10/10)

    Quite and elegant

    What could be improved: There was a free dog on the premises

  • George from United Kingdom – 30 September 2024 (9/10)

    Facilities and staff was amazing, considering my flight was late on the day of check out the hotel managed to accommodate me on such short notice and let me have the room until later on in the day.

    I would highly recommend but book and vehicle as taxis can be a nightmare to get in Verona.

  • Jasmin from United States – 23 September 2024 (10/10)

    Everything about my stay was perfect. It was super quiet and calm and comfortable. I wanted to stay an extra day! The staff were super friendly and welcoming to me and my little dog. The chef even baked me a special gluten free oatmeal cake for breakfast! It made me feel seen and heard and welcomed. Get the fresh juices and omelette and the strong cappucino. So many gluten free options for breakfast, as I am intolerant. Also, I loved the smell of roses and other flowers on the property. It was fun to stay at a dog friendly property.

    What could be improved: I really wanted to swim in the pools, but I am a sissy for cold water. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed the hot tub and sauna. I love that you can swim 24/7, in case you have jet lag. The sauna closes at 11pm, when reception closes.

  • Siobhan from United Kingdom – 23 August 2024 (10/10)

    Luxurious, comfortable and lovely to be in

    What could be improved: Nothing

  • Jouke from Switzerland – 22 July 2024 (9/10)

    Fantastic location in the nature but still close to the city. Perfect to relax and lounge outside and in the salt water pool.

  • Melanie from New Zealand – 15 July 2024 (10/10)

    The rooms are gorgeous, comfy beds, delicious, beautiful gardens. We really felt relaxed and well looked after during our stay here. I would highly recommend this boutique hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful with taxis and information of taxis, sites and places to eat, thank you for looking after us and ensuring we got the most out of our stay.

    What could be improved: I can’t think of anything we didn’t like

  • Peder from Denmark – 12 July 2024 (10/10)

    Wonderful peaceful and luxurious atmosphere.
    Very nice and service minded staff.
