About Hotel Accademia
Situated in the centre of Verona, the Accademia is located just off the shopping street of Via Mazzini within easy reach of the Roman Arena, Piazza Erbe and the Casa di Giulietta, with one of the most famous balconies in the world.Housed in a beautiful 17th century stone building, it combines elegantly modern surroundings with antique furniture and traditionally styled public rooms. Also, you can sample some regional dishes in the hotel's well-known Restaurant Accademia.
As of 1565 the same site was used for the education of young noblemen, and from 1797 it was an inn with stabling for horses until 1880 when it became the Hotel Accademia, taking its name from the former Accademia dei Filotimi.
Take the opportunity to stroll to the nearby sights, including Piazza Erbe, and admire its 14th century fountain that continues to remind us this piazza has been used as the site for Verona's herb market for an impressive 2000 years.

Resting on the serpentine River Adige and backdropped by green hills with laden orchards, Verona is a magical blend of ancient history, inspirational music, sacred art and world-renowned gastronomy exemplified by classical wines. The city welcomes visitors with wide esplanades paved in russet marble, which stroll to courtly piazzas graced with artistic buildings. A host of impressive churches, including San Zeno Maggiore, protest a piety that appears to be contradicted by the luxuriant opulence of Piazza Brà, Piazza dei Signori and Piazza Erbe close to which Shakespeare set his tragic love story, Romeo and Juliet.Verona's Roman amphitheatre possesses miraculous acoustic properties, which welcome an unrivalled opera festival, featuring the works of master composers interpreted by a star-studded cast. The population of Verona also enjoys a sumptuous social life conducted in cafés, wine bars and restaurants. Caffé Dante, established in 1865, on Piazza dei Signori is a hotbed of intellectual fervour whose patrons first decided to stage operatic events in the city's Roman Arena. To glimpse decorative divas indulging in their second most cherished passion, at least one visit to Ristorante Il Cenacolo, Via Teatro Filarmonico, should be attempted. Its walls are prepared with complimentary letters praising its cuisine written by Jose Carreras, Luciano Pavarotti, and Kiri Te Kanawa.
Another equally famous establishment is Ristorante 12 Apostoli, Corticella San Marco. Plates sing with pescatrice alle mandorle (monkfish in almond sauce) and bowls of tortellini with white truffle shavings. Hosts of other attractions include the stylish boutiques on Via Mazzini, the Giusti Gardens, the Gothic tombs of Arche Scaligere and Juliet's balcony.
