The guests staying at the brand new Byblos Art Hotel Villa Amistà recently opened in the Verona area might be under the impression of living a surreal and dreamlike adventure.
The large building, featuring a 15th century façade by Michele Sanmicheli, had been abandoned for some time before being carefully renovated.. The villa has now been the object of meticulous historical refurbishment, both in terms of the architecture and the paintings and décor. Restoration has been carried out on the central and most monumental part of the villa and also on the two towers, the church and the farm buildings.
Each hotel room has its own personal style with different and unique furnishings and each offers a cosy and welcoming atmosphere. In every area of the hotel one can enjoy the contrast of the 17th century Baroque style with the modern design, merging perfectly thanks to the inventiveness of the famous architect Alessandro Mendini.
The extensive gardens offer an evocative setting, with fountains, a swimming pool and a health spa (Dominique and Henri Chenot Institute). Inside, there is a large hall dominated by a Venetian chandelier and other rooms with elaborate ceiling decoration and murals.
