Byblos Art Hotel Villa Amistà

My husband and I just returned from a fantastic stay at the Byblos Art Hotel, and words truly can’t capture how much we enjoyed it. Even before we arrived, the incredible team—Sofia, Matteo, Riccardo, Vadim, and Alessandro—went above and beyond to help us plan our trip. They answered all of our (many!) questions with patience and professionalism, and even shared a beautifully detailed brochure filled with excellent restaurant recommendations and top local sights. The moment you step onto the property, you’re greeted by a stunning fountain, lush greenery, and vibrant seasonal flowers. The grounds are breathtaking, and the hotel itself is filled with original, one-of-a-kind artwork at every turn. Our room was spacious, spotless, and beautifully appointed. Once we adjusted the AC, it worked perfectly—something we especially appreciated during the hot weather. Breakfast was a delight: generous, varied, and relaxing. On our first night, we tried the Michelin-starred à la carte menu, and it was honestly one of the best meals we’ve ever had in Italy (and we’ve visited quite a few times!). It was so outstanding that we chose to dine there again, even with so many great options nearby. Nicola, the restaurant manager and sommelier, was a gracious and knowledgeable host, and his entire team made us feel truly at home. The pool area was also beautiful, and Alam took great care of us there. We only wish we could have stayed longer. Every detail—inside and out—was thoughtfully curated, and the impeccable service from the entire staff made our stay unforgettable. The location couldn’t be more perfect: just 20 minutes from Verona and Lake Garda, close to the scenic Valpolicella region and its wineries, yet tucked away enough to feel like a peaceful retreat during a busy travel season. This is far from your average hotel. It’s a one-of-a-kind experience, and we can’t wait to return. Thank you, Byblos Art Hotel, for an unforgettable vacation!

Me and my mom stayed for just a night and really enjoyed our stay. It was a stunning and fun hotel with incredible service. Big thank you to the staff who provided us with recommendation and even emailed them to us! This was so appreciated. I would absolutely recommend to others interested in art and history - this area of Italy was fascinating to learn about.

This hotel is fabulous! Probably the coolest place I’ve ever stayed. So avant-garde. Every floor, every very room is an art piece. There is an extraordinary bartender in the bar - you must meet him and allow him to create something for you. If you are going to or bar Verona make plans to stay there!

This masterpiece is "frame-worthy"! Immerge yourself in art, creativity and taste. A unique experience created by two unique loving people. Love and beauty will save the world and this is the proof of the piece you can get. Enjoy and thank you for everrything

Best and favorite hotel in all my many years of traveling! It’s absolutely stunning, so creatively curated with amazing modern art. Every where you look is a feast for the eyes. Dinner at Amista was spectacular, from the delicious and varied menu to the faultless expert service. And finally, I had to make several changes to the reservation before we arrived, and the staff was so wonderful and went above and beyond to accommodate us. Truly one of my top travel experiences…Five hundred stars!!
