A melting pot of modern life and ancient culture, a place where to sit down in relax enjoying the Italian lifestyle with a glass of Amarone or a good espresso coffe in your hands!

At the centre of the Verona sits the extraordinary Roman Amphitheatre called Arena (1st Century a.C.), once the site of great battles and spectacles and now home to the world-famous open-air opera and rock concerts held there during the summer months where you can see everything from Carmen to Radiohead.

A few kilometres from Verona sits Lake Garda, Italy’s largest and deepest lake. Lake Garda’s wonderfully temperate climate and typically Mediterranean flora have long made it the preferred playground of locals and the savoured summer destination of tourists from around the world. Sightseeing, windsurfing, kaitboarding, hiking, or just having a "lazy day" chilling out on the shore and taking a swim... this is a typical summer weekend in Verona.
