The perfect summer day in the city of romance starts with an exquisite caffe con panna and a crunchy cornetto in Caffe Mazzanti on the Piazza delle Erbe. Stroll down the Via Capello to Casa Guilietta which attracts thousands of lovers each year. The main entrance is disguised with graffiied love declarations and leads through to the courtyard with a balcony where Shakespeare’s Juliet was said to have stood. There couldn’t be more fitting and romantic place in Verona to sleep than Escapio’s Relais de Charme Il Sogno Di Giulietta.

Verona is a UNESCO city peppered with historic buildings and reminiscences from times gone by. After a long day soaking up the sights I highly recommend cooling down with a refreshing Spritz aperitif in the Osteria La Fontanina, where Veronese specialities like the sumptuous risotto all’ al amarone are served up. The world famous opera is the place to indulge in high culture under open skies – and don’t forget to take a candle to light like the rest of the crowd when the sun sets… Any day in Verona is guaranteed to be indescribably romantic, but whatever you do make sure you book a hotel in this Shakespeare city – browse our extraordinary hotels in and around Verona.
