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.
*** Where is it? ***
Verona is in the Central Northern part of Italy
Built on a tight bend in the river Adige, it was easy to defend, as the water provided a natural barrier, also it was a natural crossing point. City walls were constructed to defend the rest of the city. The Romans had a major city here, complete ...

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.

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 ...

Please do not be fooled by flashy web page presented by the management of this Hotel near Villa Franca, approximately 20min by car from Verona city, Italy.
It is situated on a very busy (noisy) main road, right next to a bird farm that was easy to smell from the room we occupied.
The farm ensures a continuos supply of insects reaches the hotel, day and night; they enter the bathrooms through the air vents above.
The entire front of the hotel is finished in dry cement, which the management have attempted to camouflage using big posters.
There is another building site next to the hotel (that was the view from our room).
There is a bus stop in front of the hotel but they run 1 ...
Giberti Hotel is a modern glass structure dating back to the late 1980\\\'s with modern room decorated in light colours, and in very good condition. Centrally located, a two minute walk from the main railway station which serves the town and roughly a 10 minute walk from the arena to which there is also regular public transport. The lobby has a polished marble floor, pink walls and decorated in a very modern style with circular round white marble tables and dark couches and large white columns. Rooms are spacious and modern, equipped to high standard of quality, typical of Montresor family run chain. Bathrooms are in good condition.
