What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
it’s also something like a museum, a showcase for a family’s impressive collection of 20th-century design objects and contemporary artworks
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Set among Valpolicella's rolling vineyards and historic cellars, the estate rests ten kilometres outside the historic centre of Verona.
The rooms
Gallery placards catalog the design pieces in each bedroom, where vibrant pop hues pair with stenciled ceilings and creamy Verona marble.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Sun loungers border the outdoor swimming pool, set across classical parkland shaded by centuries-old olive trees.
The subterranean spa
A mosaic hydromassage pool sits under painted barrel vaults, flanked by a Finnish sauna and Turkish hammam.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Ristorante Amistà
Chef Mattia Bianchi serves Michelin-starred tasting menus of regional Venetian dishes among original paintings by Sandro Chia.
Mendini’s neo-Baroque take – he uses antique forms for headboards, dressers, full-length mirrors, but with neon orange or pop-art green insets, futuristic design furniture and captioned works of art everywhere just like a gallery.
At the table
A vaulted fifteenth-century stone cellar hosts tastings of Amarone wines, and Peter's Bar pours evening cocktails.
How it began
The family behind the Byblos fashion house reimagined this historic country estate to house their private collection of modern and contemporary art.
