If Northern Italy conjures up images of medieval palazzo’s populated by suave gentlemen and dusky Modigliani-esque beauties, then you’d be at least partially correct. Venice and Verona are two of the all time best romantic destinations in the world, and so enchanting that William Shakespeare set two of his famous plays here. But while traditionally romantic these cities may be, the hotels are certainly not out of touch with modern day comforts, and are desirable to even the pickiest of travellers. 

Described by Lonely Planet as “undoubtedly the most beautiful city built by man”, Venice is one of those destinations that is revered across the globe as the crème de la crème of European cities.  A stone’s throw from St. Mark’s Square, the magical Hotel Giorgione reflects the village feel of the Cannaregio district, making it the most post-card perfect lagoon retreat imaginable. 

Although Romeo and Juliet were fictional creations, Verona's romance is real – and there's no better place to experience it than at the elegant Montresor Hotel Tower. Set in the residential area of Bussolengo, Montresor soars above the High Plains Veronese. Surrounded by forested fields and the Adige River, this stylish hotel offers access to romantic Verona and beautiful Lake Garda. 

As for the trip itself, we seek to reflect the best of Italian hospitality – cultured, considerate, warm and generous. Guests in our acclaimed 4 star hotels will enjoy return flights from the UK and a scenic train ride from Venice to Verona - a truly authentic experience that has become all too rare in travel.
