Weekend breaks in one of our hotels ensure you are located in a prime position from where you can easily explore the highlights of this beautiful city, home to literature’s most famous lovers.

During a weekend break in Verona, take time to wander up to Piazza Brà and admire the famous Roman Arena, which is home to some of the world’s most spectacular opera events.

Sample some of North Eastern Italy’s regional foods in Piazza Erbe, and be inspired by the Natural History and Archaeological museums during your city break. Verona’s, or even Italy’s, most famous balcony awaits you at the Casa di Giulietta on Via Cappello, and if you walk a little further, you can also find the Casa di Romeo a few streets away.

A lovely selection of boutiques can be found in Verona, and a weekend break here is the perfect opportunity to combine a shopping trip with an unforgettable night at the Arena di Verona Opera Festival, which normally takes place mid June to August.
