Villa Fenaroli Palace Hotel

On the edge of Brescia in Rezzato, this 18th-century villa-hotel sits among rolling hills and a manicured courtyard. You're minutes from the Mille Miglia Museum and La Prima Luna, with Santa Giulia Museum a short drive away. Nearby sights called out by guests include Basilica of San Zeno Maggiore, Ponte Scaligero and Castelvecchio. Pet-friendly, with free parking and shuttle links for getting around.

The villa’s 18th-century façade, sumptuous public rooms and a peaceful garden keep the old-world glamour alive.

Many rooms look out onto the terrace or garden. Reception is 24-hour and room service is available (limited hours).

Work out in a brand-new gym fitted with TechnoGym equipment, stroll the terrace and garden, or unwind in the bar/lounge. Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected.

Dine at the on-site restaurant Moretto or the hotel’s internal dining room, which features a tasting menu that highlights regional Italian flavors. The bar/lounge pours drinks for winding down. An international (and detox) breakfast is included each morning.
