Byblos Art Hotel Villa Amistà

I had enjoy the garden, wich eas very nice to have a walk with a dog. I had stay in a lot of Small Luxury Hotels Group, but it was first one wich i didn't enjoy. It's expensive, but quality is low! I had really enjoy the breakfast! The staff are nice, but it's not big deal than you have so high price for everything. By the they, dogs allowed only to go in garden. They cant go in restaurant wich is on Terrasse, sometimes it is absolutely necessary to go without a dog, but in such restaurant normally dogs allowed! The rooms very very very old! It should not be so in 5 star hotel. About prices: 250 euro per night is fine, but: 5 euro per water 9 euro per CocaCola 15 euro per 1 glass wine 25 euro per starter 39 euro per Main dish 25 euro per one glass Macallan 12 (Wisky)- it was really funy, even in For Seasons Hotel Milano it is 15 euro)))

Visit this hotel on our culinary trip......wasn't planned. Called the very friendly reception hostess and she was very helpful . Very warm welcome. This was a small problem (miscommunication) about our arrangement but they solved it with care. As frequent Michellin visitors we can say the chef of amista 33 is very good! Very kind as well . 6 course was very very tasteful. Coming near to a gault mill recommendation and going to 1 star in the future. The classic Italian restaurant was perfect. Classic dishes...The most most most special thanks goes to the gentlemans of both restaurants. They made our stay sooooo pleasant. So from room, to restaurant, to service....all a big 8/9...except the gentlemans....they deserve a 10! The gentleman at Peter's bar as well. See you back in July 2018. Regards fam. Peulen

The grounds are beautiful, the food is excellent, and the staff is terrific! The owner is a true gentleman, molto gentile, who enjoys being able to share his extensive art collection with hotel guests. The art can sometimes be a bit overwhelming, but the hotel is very well done. A midprice room needs a place to read other than the bed. The breakfast is wonderful. The pool area attractive and so relaxing. What makes the hotel extra special is the staff!!

I stayed at this absolutely fabulous hotel for 4 nights in May 2017. I have traveled a lot around the world and I can honestly say that BYBLOS ART VILLA AMISTÀ hotel was the most special, intriguing and best-designed hotel I’ve ever stayed at. Every single detail from the driveway to the ceilings, gardens, fountains, stairs etc. was carefully designed by well know world-famous designers and architects. This hotel is not only a luxurious 5-star hotel but also a stunning, ongoing art exhibition and it, for sure, is unique and one of a kind. From the moment I stepped in, to the moment I left (and actually even after that since I left my laptop’s charger there and their shuttle bus driver kindly brought it to me to Verona city) the service was immaculate, again, 5 stars all the way! I have many food allergies so I was very impressed due to the fact that even for breakfast I got served with plenty of various bread, biscuits, pastries etc that were gluten free. Furthermore, I loved the fact that the restaurant manager kindly asked the chef to prepare my favorite, Pasta Gorgonzola gluten free for my dinner. I had that twice, it was that delicious! There is a peaceful, wonderful 20 000 square meters garden area that surrounds the hotel along with lovely fountains and a nice pool area. The neighborhood is also very peaceful, thus, it's very typical little Italian village like area; perfect for a little walk to get to know the area. Oh, and I have to mention, there is a lovely church on the courtyard of the hotel, so charming. Also, make sure that you check out the sunset for example from the top of hotels' outdoor stairs, absolutely stunning! My room was a superior room, not very large, but extremely clean (very important for me!), well maintained and again, with amazing design & décor. Since I work also on my trips, I really also appreciated proper wifi. I find it very difficult to fault this place as it had everything I was hoping for and so much more. I was completely surprised by the number of art pieces and design objects (furniture, lamps, curtains etc.) and the more time I spent there, the more intrigued by them I was. I loved the fact that I also found some Finnish designers’ furniture there. I had the pleasure of meeting hotel’s General Manager, Mr. Leardini, absolutely wonderful, extremely professional, very welcoming Italian gentleman who has done an amazing job with the hotel. It really felt like the staff sincerely enjoyed working there and it is not that self-explanatory nowadays. After all, it takes happy staff to make happy guests and in my case, they, for sure, succeeded! I can warmly recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for high quality, luxury, tranquility, loves art and beautiful design, delicious food, excellent service and Italian countryside – that’s pretty much everyone, right? I certainly hope I get an opportunity to visit this magnificent place again one day. In this hotel you get to discover new wonders every day. There is so much to see that there is no way you find it all in one day so I recommend you stay here at least for 3-4 days. Thank you, everyone, at the Byblos Art Hotel for making my stay so relaxing, memorable and wonderful. I will always remember my stay and already miss Italy so much! Di nuovo, grazie mille a tutti!

This hotel is simply the craziest decorated hotel I've ever visited. Justaposing a magnificent villa with the most awesome art, including lots of fabulous pieces of Brit Art, the crazy decor is what made it just fabulous. For some fellow art loving girlfriends and I, it was the perfect and extremely unique background to a couple of days R&R that will be forever memorable. The neon corridors and incredibly chic bedrooms were awesome. The food was superb but one area that needs a little improvement is the Spa, which needs a little TLC. It didn't meet the rest of the hotel's glorious standards. We visited in Dec therefore much of the outside grounds were closed but they showed such potential. A return visit is on the cards. An absolute must-visit for a seriously stylish visit to Verona.
