Villa Quaranta Park Hotel, near Bussolengo

In the heart of the beautiful Italian wine region of Valpolicella, the Villa Quaranta Park Hotel is a most lovely way to enjoy the Veneto region. The local towns of Pescantina and Bussolengo lie just a few kilometres to the west of the historic city of Verona, and Verona's international airport is within very easy reach. Head a few kilometres west of here and you are quickly at the shores of Lake Garda, Italy's largest lake and with quite stunning scenery, edged as it is by the peaks of the Monte Baldo mountain range.

This Verona hotel is stunningly located within a restored seventeenth century villa, decorated with magnificent furnishings and frescoes and set within its own lushly planted gardens. This villa was the summer home of the aristocratic Quaranta family, and was built between 1639 and 1653. With a simple facade, its windows with carved stone mullions, and a magnificent marble staircase within, this building is an historic delight. Whether you're in Verona province on business or pleasure, you'll find this a perfect base for your stay. There are comfortable and well appointed meeting facilities, and this is a most inspiring place to conduct business.

You can unwind in the wellness centre and 'thermarium' spa, and pamper yourself with a range of beauty treatments. There is a large swimming pool and a fully equipped gymnasium. You can walk and relax in the very pretty gardens, or head further afield to the historic cities of Venice (Venezia) and Padua (Padova). With superb transport links from here, getting around to the treasures of the Veneto is never a problem.
