Roman landmarks, art collections and restaurant evenings, with a central room or a hillside retreat. Add Padova, Lake Garda or Merano for a longer northern Italian holiday.
Northern Italy: lakes, mountains & art cities
Verona is worth more than a stop between journeys. Give it three or four nights for the river, historic centre and places to eat, with an Arena performance when the programme suits your stay. We choose the hotel around how you want to spend your time.
Individual rooms, suites and residences with Italian design and the Arena a short walk away. Our choice for independent city days, restaurant evenings and walking home after the opera.
Stays are room only, with arrival by appointment: breakfast is an opportunity to try a nearby café.
