Advantages: Attendance, atmosphere, staff, facilities, friendliness. Disadvantages: The localization.
- Very good and clean hotel, friendly and helpful staff. Personalized attendance.
The owners are from Northern Italy and the name comes from the famous Venetian palace.
- It's trying to maintain its original European atmosphere but in some instances has
submitted to more modern aspects.
- Excellent restaurant, International cooking and Italian specialities. One of the best,
if not the best, is the Bollito Misto accompanied by Mostarda di Cremona. This a delicious variety of boiled meats carved and served at the table, plus vegetables and the Cremona Mustard (which has almost nothing related to our common mustard) a hot condiment/dressing.
- The installations and facilities make it such that one can spend quite a few days there without needing to go out.
- I don't quite appreciate its location, near downtown, not very advisable ...
Advantages: Beautiful City, lots to see & do Disadvantages: None
Walking around Verona in early June, there was a smell all over the city, not the smell of decaying rubbish as I experienced in my work trip to Naples, but the sweet smell of tree blossom, and Jasmine, even my hotel had Jasmine growing under the window!
I never really took to Shakespeare, at school I was more into war stories, and adventures, but Verona forever has the association with Romeo & Juliette, as you walk around the city, you will see plaques embedded in various walls with Shakespearean quotes.

Advantages: A beautiful city with lots to offer Disadvantages: Italy itself can be a little expensive
During my recent holiday to Italy Verona was one of the cities that I visited. Verona is a city in Northern Italy not far from Lake Garda. Due to its geographical position the city has frequently flooded in the past and as you travel round the city this can be noted by water markings on bridges and walls. Verona was also the town that Julius Caesar visited for his relaxing stays and features strongly in the travel diaries of Goethe. Furthermore Verona is also the town were Dante wrote the second part of his 'Divine Comedy'. Despite all of this however Verona is probably most famous for being the setting for William Shakespeare's most famous tragedy, Romeo and Juliet.
So what can you do in Verona?
Verona due to its historical heritage has a great many tourist attractions that draw in the crowds. These attractions include The Arena ...
