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.

Free WiFi? You know it.

Whatever time you stumble in, the 24-hour front desk serves up service with a smile.

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

Views, views, views – take 'em in from your private balcony, the poolside loungers or the panoramic terrace at the onsite resto.

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.

Feeling creative? Rooms are unique and colorful.

Relaxing location situated just steps from Lake Garda.

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