Luxury hotel holiday Villa Cordevigo Near Verona

Villa Cordevigo is an exquisite five-star hotel, set in an 18th century Venetian villa in the heart of Cavaion Veronese, where centuries-old cypress trees line the entrance drive and 100 hectares of vineyards stretch across the rolling countryside between Lake Garda and Verona. This Relais & Châteaux property represents a harmonious marriage of aristocratic heritage and contemporary luxury, owned by the Cristoforetti and Delibori families, who have transformed their residence into one of northern Italy’s most distinguished wine estates. The villa’s architectural elegance follows the classical Venetian design, with the main residence flanked by two lateral wings, locally called ‘barchesse,’ which once served as agricultural outbuildings and now house many of the hotel’s 40 rooms. The estate includes a Renaissance chapel dedicated to St Martin, built in the 1400s and extended in the 1700s, now housing over 3,000 relics collected by the Bishop Marcantonio Lombardo. The interiors showcase wooden beamed ceilings, Venetian mosaic floors, original frescoes, period furnishings, and rich fabrics that maintain the villa’s noble character. The Villa’s culinary offerings centre on Oseleta Restaurant, awarded a Michelin star and houses within the historic portico, where Executive Chef Marco Marras creates refined Italian cuisine drawing inspiration from his Sardinian roots and the abundant local produce. Marras’ kitchen garden supplies fresh herbs and vegetables for his seasonal menus. Dining takes place on the terrace in warmer months. For more relaxed fare, the Cordevigo Restaurant serves traditional Veneto cuisine, and the Fiordilej Bar, set in a former vaulted cellar, serves cocktails and wines from the estate’s collection. The Essentia Spa provides plenty of relaxation opportunities, from the Finnish sauna to the Turkish bath, and an outdoor pool with hydromassage seats. The Villa Cordevigo invites guests to immerse themselves in local Italian culture, with Grape to Glass harvesting and tasting experiences of Bardolino, Valpolicella, and Amarone wines, as well as cooking classes with local chefs, and cycling excursions through the parkland. Villa Cordevigo is the ultimate restorative retreat, celebrating the finest elements of Veneto’s wine country.
