I really liked this hotel and would love to go back again. That said, I will say that it's not quite the five-star luxury many might have in mind. It has a shabby chic quality to it (in my book, a positive because if it was a true super luxury, you'd pay the earth); the restaurant food is lovely, but the choice is a bit limited and out of high-season, the swimming pool is closed. I'd also argue that it's not quite bang up to date hi tech modern. Still, the rooms are very comfortable, the beds lovely, the ambience is great, the grounds charming, and if you are looking for a touring base (for Verona, Trieste, Padua and Venice), the location is brilliant! I also found the service fantastic, if a tiny bit Fawlty Towers (in a nice way). Thoroughly recommend it and its history is fascinating stretching from late 18th origins to Sting and Ronald Reagen with Liz Taylor thrown in for fun.
