Byblos Art Hotel Villa Amistà

This was the most unique hotel and dinner we have experienced in our world travels! We were charmed by our driver, Vitolo, welcomed by Riccardo at our reception, and served by Elana with perfect attention. The hotel’s contemporary art collection could be exhibited in any fine art museum or gallery; in fact, the collection was enhanced with the furnishings, lighting and stenciled walls and ceilings. Our room was spacious, comfortable and imaginatively decorated. As we walked the grounds, every space surprised us: flowers, trees, gazebos, water features, vine-covered loggia…Finally, the piece de resistance was our dinner created by Chef Mattia Bianchi—sublime. We absolutely loved our stay.

Wild and wacky hotel full of bright and graphic modern art. Very much a statement place, and only really suitable if you like the modern art world. Staff were helpful but it did take about 15 minutes to get drinks ordered on the terrace, despite letting staff know we were wanting to order. Room service was excellent, but breakfast a bit of a disappointment. Hotel about 30 minutes from town, but free shuttle busses provided till 7:30pm by the hotel for guests.

Byblos Art Hotel is an exquisite 5 star property! The team was extremely polite, professional and attentive. The hotel is beautiful inside and out. I loved waking up to the rooster every morning and seeing them running around the property :) All the team members we encountered had gone above and beyond. A big thank you to Riccardo and the front office team, the two young servers in the lobby bar, the lovely shuttle drivers, the housekeeping team who handled our room with such care and the F&B team for an amazing breakfast experience. Thank you again team Byblos, we will definitely be back next time we are in Valpolicella!

Byblos Art Hotel Villa Amista Corrubbio di Negarine 1026243013 Beautiful villa ruined by atrocious contemporary art by the world's worst artists. Hideously installed art everywhere, corridors filled with pathetic graffiti art. The rooms are ridiculously furnished with garish colors and dumb art. Towels, sheets and pillows are of the worst quality. The prices are absurd. The only redeeming factor was a good breakfast. If you love pointless pretensions, stay there. Otherwise steer clear!!!

This is our second time to Byblos Art Hotel, for a reason. The property is fantastic, a combination of Villa and a lovely curated modern art museum. What makes it stand out are the people who work here, all lovely and fantastic. Riccardo at the reception, was very helpful helping us dealing with all small details. Finally, the food is absolutely amazing. Ristorante Amista is a michelin starred restaurant, but it combines classic Veronese cooking with everything you would except from such a restaurant. Chefs Simone and Mattia have created a top notch menu. I could go on, and I certainly missing people who were amazing, and we will certainly return for a third time.
