During this twin centre holiday, start with Verona – made immortal by Shakespeare’s famed Romeo and Juliet – before finishing with time to relax at Italy’s largest lake. You can take in the beautiful architecture, visit Juliet’s Balcony, people watch on the Piazza Bra and see the Arena, one of the world’s best examples of a Roman amphitheatre.
Hotel Italia is a charming 3-star hotel located in the center of Verona, very close to the Old Town with its magnificent sights. The Cathedral and the Roman Theatre are just 800 meters away.
