Byblos Art Hotel Villa Amista  

In the Valpolicella wine region just outside Verona, Byblos Art Hotel Villa Amistà sits in Corrubbio / San Pietro in Cariano — about 7 km from Verona’s historic center. Surrounded by vineyards and formal Italian gardens, this luxury hotel is an easy base for wine tours, Verona sightseeing and Lake Garda day trips.

Housed in a restored 15th-century Venetian villa, the property pairs palatial, colorful interiors with a striking contemporary art collection. There are 58 individually styled rooms with marble bathrooms, air conditioning, minibar, hairdryer and tea/coffee facilities. Grounds include a private park, fountains and a formal garden that frame the outdoor pool.

A full wellness offer includes the ESPACE Byblos spa with sauna, Turkish bath, hydrotherapy, massages and a hot tub, plus a fitness center and outdoor swimming pool. The hotel also boasts an atmospheric 15th-century wine cellar with 300+ labels, a piano bar and a summer terrace. Free on-site parking and a shuttle to Verona are available, and pets are allowed — a true pet-friendly, luxury hideaway.

Three conference halls and a business center support meetings and events, backed by on-site copy/fax services, concierge support and property-wide Wi‑Fi. Event facilities suit small to mid-size corporate or social gatherings.

Gourmet dining is a highlight: Restaurant Amistà earned a MICHELIN star in 2021, and the hotel’s dining outlets include a summer-terrace restaurant that uses organic vegetables from the grounds. Wine tastings in the historic cellar and a piano bar complete the culinary picture, with classic Veneto flavors and international dishes on offer.
