Hotel Villa Malaspina

Our first night in Italy, we arrived with 4 hours flight delay, but a delicious dinner in hotel’s restaurant and a good night rest, we felt all good again. Ms Nichole from reception has arranged us a morning swimming session even it’s over our checkout time, she also helped us with languages saving and ordering a taxi service. This hotel is beautiful and great value for money. We will highly recommend.

Large, comfortable room and bathroom, while the breakfast also had a good selection. An impressive and elegant building from the outside, with pleasant grounds. While the furnishings are elegant and period pieces, the rest of the decor is faded and the interior has a somewhat desolate feel. The staff on arrival were not particularly welcoming, the WiFi was extremely unreliable and the A/C was very noisy. It's a long way from the centre of Verona, accessed via a not particularly nice area. Very expensive for what it offers and all in all, seems to be relying on the past glories of a historic building.

My boyfriend and I stayed for 7 nights at this hotel. It was my first time in Italy but my boyfriend had been before. The hotel was OK. Choice at breakfast was average and not all the food was replenished once it ran out even with 30mins still left to go. We had very limited to no interaction with the staff throughout our stay. Would have been nice to have been greeted at breakfast or at least acknowledged. We stayed in room 231 which was OK. There was no luggage space to ease packing/unpacking which in a hotel room is a necessity. There was no tea kettle which was also extremely disappointing. Very little storage space also. One wardrobe and one integrated drawer was not enough for 2 people for a week. There was also a lot of dust which collected on the bedside tables throughout the week. I know this will be in relation to the age of the hotel and exposed beams. Also appreciate the cleaners wouldn’t want to clean around the things on the bedside table, but it was still a lot and way more than I would expect. It was nice having a bath in the en-suite and the shower was good. Although took a bit of readjustment to get into the shower with the way the shower screen was fixed which was a bit annoying. The location of the hotel was OK. There is not a lot near by. No bars or restaurants to walk to. There is a supermarket about 15 minute walk away. We hired a car for the week which was a MUST. It was a good base from the perspective of wanting to drive to the likes of Lake Garda and Modena. And also brilliant to have parking at the hotel. We got the bus into Verona twice. The stop is less than 5 minutes from the hotel which is handy. €2.80 one way cash only if tickets are bought on the bus. We bought tickets from the Tobacconist in Verona for the return journey and future trips, these were €1.50 each for single. Although, on both occasions of getting the return bus from Verona it was delayed/didn’t turn up so worth bearing in mind to expect that. Overall we had a nice holiday and didn’t spend a lot of time in the hotel. It did the job for us on this occasion. We got a good deal on this holiday and think this was reflected in the price we paid.
