Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room, though spacious, lacked natural light and needed better cleaning. On the bright side, it was lovely, comfy, quiet, very clean, and spacious. The service varied from being a little detached to exceptionally friendly and helpful. The location had its flaws but also some beauty to offer. The dining experience was okay but could have been better. Overall, it was a decent stay.
I felt like I had my own studio apartment with a stunning countryside view, but the dining experience was not as fabulous as I hoped. The friendly staff were always there to help, but room refilling was inconsistent. The location, although surrounded by industrial sites, had its unique charm and beautiful greenery. The facilities were good overall, but sitting outside for dining would have been nicer.
The hotel's artful design sets a unique tone, offering individual and comfortable rooms, albeit not the most luxurious. The service, from the welcoming front desk staff to Lorenzo and the waiters, is attentive and imaginative. The location is stunning, allowing easy access to beautiful attractions like Garda Lake and Mountbaldo, as well as Venice and Verona. The facilities are sophisticated and well-maintained.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were decently sized with a good bathroom, but the junior suite was a bit dark due to its location. The service was helpful, although at times it felt like they were trying too hard. The location, set in a beautiful countryside, was great for long walks, but a bit far from the center of Verona. The dining experience was hit or miss, depending on the meal. Overall, a comfortable stay with a few minor drawbacks.
What a delightful stay! The hotel's rooms were lovely and spacious, reflecting the charming essence of the countryside and offering stunning sunset views. The service was top-notch, with the staff being efficient and welcoming, especially Lorenzo and the attentive waiters. The location was simply unique, ideal for enjoying the annual Verona opera festival and exploring contemporary art. Though the dining experience was wonderful, the breakfast was below expectations. Overall, a great choice with a few minor drawbacks.
