What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
With just six units it’s got an atmosphere that’s more guest house than hotel, and while one of them is a compact 21 square meters, the rest are suites or junior suites, with seemingly acres of space to work with.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Roman Arena sits a five-minute walk away, and the curve of the Adige river is just around the corner.
The rooms
Original stucco ceilings and historic fireplaces define the rooms. Select suites add freestanding soaking tubs set beside the bed.
How it began
Verona natives Laura Giovedì and Gian Matteo Rossi spent years traveling for work before transforming this aristocratic twentieth-century residence in 2019.
