Ready for a respite from the frenzied, globe-trotting demands of work, a couple from the city decided to stop, return home, and create something beautiful and exclusively homegrown.
A small and intimate hospitality concept, this luxury boutique hotel in Verona, was restored and transformed in 2018 into a treasure chest of Italian design, with carefully considered comforts and quiet luxury.
Reconstructing the 18th century villa into seven separate suites of various sizes and configurations, the hotel offers up a skillful renovation and finely detailed elements that celebrate Italian craftmanship.
Sourced from throughout the country, all furnishings, accessories, and products are proudly “Made in Italy”, and have been carefully selected among the most famous brands including Poltrona Frau, Baxter, Tooy, Riva 1920, Cassina, Moroso, Desalto, Marazzi, Gervasoni and others with personally selected colors, materials, and a creative mix of decor.
Each space features the original four meter high ceilings, wooden doors and carefully restored ornate details that give you a glimpse of the past with an exclusive and refined place of plush hospitality aimed at modern and discerning travelers.
VERONA
A UNESCO World Heritage site, Verona’s dramatic, romantic (Romeo and Juliet anyone?) and artistic heritage is a hallmark of thousands of years of history and it shows. There’s plenty to discover in Verona, with its Roman and Romanesque architecture. The center of the city is dominated by the Arena, which dates back to 30AD and is the third largest in Italy. Most of the other Roman buildings remain under the city’s surface, with the exception of the Ponte di Pietra and the Roman theater. Medieval sights include the beautiful basilicas of San Zeno Maggiore and San Lorenzo.
And of course there’s Casa di Giulietta which is believed by some to be the former home of Juliet. Proclaim your undying love, chain a lock to the fence, or visit the house’s museum, featuring a wide collection of photographs and historical artifacts relating to Shakespeare’s ill-fated heroine.
Just under two hours to Venice, you’ll pass through Padua to the east with Milan two hours west and the lake regions of Como just an hour further. North through Trento, you can reach the magical scenery of the Dolomites with the famous pink stones. The hotel is at the center of the famous wine-producing valley of Valpolicella just outside of Verona with some of the best vintners in the nearby villages of San Pietro Incariano, Fumane, and Negrar.
