Former home of nobility, transformed to a hotel back in 1945 and flourishing in its new identity ever since. (5-min walk to the historic centre!)

Don’t look now, but you’re nine stories up, listening to music and sipping a champagne cocktail. Byblos Sky Terrace also comes with a spectacular view.

Well-placed for seeing Verona’s biggies like the 13th-century Castello Scaligero and Lake Garda. Go forth and conquer.

Nestled on the hills just outside the city and only a 10-min drive from the centre.

This peaceful getaway features a relaxing wellness center with a heated indoor pool, salt cave and sauna.

Free WiFi? You know it.

Lobby is airy and open, with all-white seating and palmy plants. Crisp rooms (also done up in whites), rock wood floors and free WiFi.

Soft colours soothe you to sleep while the pillow menu makes it all juuust right.

Generous size and modern furnishings so rooms live like home, only with housekeeping.
