Board diary - Holidays in Verona, August 2010.

We thought about an holiday which could combine cultural visits to cities and relax in the nature. The precious advise Italianfeelings offered us was exactly what we needed!

Arriving in the region of Veneto everything takes a unique amazing color, an air of happiness fills the heart of the traveler.

A pleasant surprise awaited us on arrival to the Farmhouse Corte Casetta, where we decided to stay in Verona. That helped our holiday to get an extra degree of quality and comfort in a luxury environment and great service. Every detail at Corte Casetta is designed to delight guests.

The house is situated in a magnificent spot in the land of vineyards and beautiful hills on the horizon, in the heart of the Valpolicella region, just a few kilometers from Verona.

And Verona, what can we say….every step offers a story, a feeling, a beauty that leaves visitors breathless. Castelvecchio Bridge, Borsari Street, the majesty of San Zeno church, St. Anastasia, the market life of the Piazza Erbe ...

If you have time you have to visit Lake Garda, with walking paths that offer landscapes and variety of fauna and flora of great beauty.

Before going to bed, I recommend a walk along Corte Casetta vineyards at sunset.

Thanks Italianfeelings, the wide variety of your proposals offered us a trip full of experiences and enchanting places!!!
Thanks!
Jorge, Angela and Cristina.

¡Gracias!.

Valpolicella Festival, between vineyards and Palladio villas, Sunday 25th of April!

Don’t miss out on one of the most fun eating/drinking/walking extravaganzas in the whole Venice region, the amazing Magnalonga, a 6 mile stroll under the sun with locals between vineyards and Venetian Villas inspired by the great architect Andrea Palladio.


On Sunday 25th of April, for 25€ and 7 'pit stops' you can enjoy the delights of local Italian cuisine: pasta, meat, cheese, olive oil, Sorbetto, coffee and more importantly the famous wines of Valpolicella, the beautiful hilly area between the romantic Verona and Lake Garda.
For people with a passion for cycling, we also recommend the Up&Down event: around 23 miles through 3 Valpolicella valleys, accompanied by our local cycling guide Alessandro.
The excursion is priced at 20€ and includes: beverage (non acoholic), a bottle of Valpolicella wine, insurance, and discounted eating vouchers to use at the Magnalonga Festival.

Also, Alessandro organises cycling activities the whole year long for groups of at least 5 people.
