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!)

Within easy luggage-lugging distance of the train station, and less than a 20-min walk to the Arena.

Need free WiFi? You got it.

Posh rooms are filled with classically-chic decor like handmade furniture, marble bathrooms and oil paintings.

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.

Convenient spot just a few minutes from the historic heart and 10-min drive to the Vicentina Trade Fair area.

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.

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

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

Spot-on location for exploring Trentino’s valleys (assuming you can convince yourself to leave the spa).
