Charming Farmhouses in Verona

• Agriturismo Delo

Named a World Heritage Site by UNESCO and the setting of Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’, Verona is a city filled with endless wonders and history drenched in sunlight and the Garda Lake. Start your visit in the famous pink and white Arena, the third largest after the Colosseum. Built for gladiator battles, it now hosts a variety of concerts from rock to opera. See other roman remains such as the theatre, the Gavi Arch and the Porta Borsari which led the way to the Sacred Road. Walk under the Porta and admire the various renaissance buildings flanking it and arrive in piazza delle Erbe, where the Roman Forum once used to be. See the beauty Dante described when looking at the romanesque basilica of St. Zeno. Fall in love under Juliet’s balcony in Villa Capuleti then see her tomb in the capuchin convent. Cross the stunning 14th Scaligero bridge to reach Castelvecchio, Verona’s most important museum with a stunning collection of art. Explore the many palaces such as Canossa and Bevilacqua, built under Venetian rule and therefore opulent in decorations. Enjoy a day in the sun in the lakeside town of Garda.
