This could be one of the worst places that I have been. They show a beautiful picture of the hotel…read moregrounds but this is a place for events only. It is in the middle of a wine plantation and they have the wine warehouse next to the rooms. So the smell of wine in the bedrooms is terrible. There are no indication to where is the reception and parking is far way. We could not stay because of the mess that there was in the lobby of the hotel and we were informed that they would not debit our credit card. We made reservation with Hotels.com. But for our surprise, we have been charged and they do not want to refund the charges. It is a place to avoid.

As we arrived on the grounds of this magnificent place, it quickly became apparent we were not in…read morefor an ordinary experience. Terraced into a beautiful mountain, this property is the total package - a vineyard, enoteca, olive orchard, villa, restaurant, catering hall, pool, resort. David, the manager was such a sweetheart, and he speaks nearly-perfect English. We enjoyed his company as much as we enjoyed the property! He gave us a lovely tour of the villa, including a demo of the medieval-ish rotisserie in the dining room. My boys enjoyed a night of billiards. The sprawling grounds are perfect for an afternoon stroll to visit the peacocks, smell the citrus trees, and even enjoy the swing for a bit! The meticulously-maintained pool perched above the villa and vineyard inspired my teens to experience a sunrise from across the valley. The views from the pool are simply breathtaking. We stayed in the "tower," a duplex apartment which slept all six of us comfortably (two bedrooms and a living room with a pull-out couch), and included a spacious kitchen and posh, newly renovated bathroom. The breakfast spread, included in our booking, was terrific, as were the settings in which we enjoyed them. We ate once in the very pretty breakfast room, and once on the open-air loge, overlooking the grounds. We also enjoyed an evening aperitivo, complete with charcuterie, breads and cheeses. The staff were so incredibly kind, and everyone had smiles for us at all times. There is ample parking, and the location is convenient to the town of Verona and the airport. While there, our family toured the town and also took a cooking class with Luisa Zecchinato at Cooking at the Villa. David also recommended the most divine restaurant - Relais Castrum, which clings to an even higher terrace above the villa and serves the most incredible grilled meats and more, all before the most awe-inspiring view I've ever seen. I can't imagine anything that could have made our stay more wonderful, except for maybe my own bed from home placed in our room. I still can't believe how little our stay cost us - an amazing value, for sure. We truly did not want to leave, and look forward to returning some day.
