Michelin
The eight rooms and suites have antique terracotta floors, exposed beam ceilings, and 19th-century furniture; owner Antonia Mozzanega...has filled the living spaces with books, paintings, and rugs accumulated over generations.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Central Verona is eight kilometres away, leaving the immediate hillside to quiet olive groves and woodland paths.
The rooms
Rooms keep their antique terracotta floors and exposed timber beams, furnished with nineteenth-century family heirlooms.
At the table
Tables are set with fine china beneath a crystal chandelier, where morning brings house-made jams and fresh pastries.
How it began
A Roman shrine to Apollo Delio gave the hillside its name, drawn from the Greek word for bright light.
