Villa Della Torre

I do not frankly where to start, but I guess I owe Angelos a huge apology that it has taken so long to finally express my sincere thanks to him and his team for what was a magical time we had at Villa Della Torre. Let me deal with the Villa: simply magical (and we were the only guests - so it was our 'home' for our stay- bliss!). An absolute 'tour de force' in terms of location, architecture and history. The villa is breathtaking and unmolested. If only it was my home, and I guess, whoever the owners are now...crumbs, what fortunate human beings you are! The accommodation: classic Italian chic, very clean, an amazingly comfortable bed and not just a bathroom but an integrated hamam (sic) which works and allows you to recover from wine tasting (close proximity to the best wineries) and incredible restaurants close by (Sirmione in particular i.e Le Speranzina). Hospitality: Angelos our host is an incredible man. Classy, beautifully dressed, impeccably mannered (think Stanley Tucci plus), and his attention to detail without fault. His local knowledge is unparalleled. His recommendations to try local restaurants were on point. Food: breakfast was sublime. We also had dinner (additional cost) which was rustic and very tasty accompanied by Allegrini wines. An amazing place. You simply must meet Angelos and his team. We will return, but this time with friends!

This was our third time staying at Villa della Torre in Fumane and once again, it was an outstanding experience. From their Staff led by Angelo, to the rooms, food and wines, it’s a place we highly recommend. The location is also fantastic, an old castle refurbished to have very modern rooms in the middle of a winery. The only thing missing is a swimming pool. Hopefully the Allegrini family builds one soon. Breakfast is included in the room rate and it was very well served every morning. If you want to eat either lunch or dinner, you let them know ahead of time and they give you choices and do a magnificent job with those meals as well. Their wines including Pallazzo della Torre and La Grola (one of our favorites) which use Valpolicella region grapes, and Il Seggio ( this from their wineries in Tuscany, are also very good. Besides La Grola which we have know for a while, we tried their Lugana (white) and their Amarone Classico and both were outstanding. You can ask them to organize a wine tasting. It’s very worth it and they’re very knowledgeable. Villa della Torrre is also located very close to a number of good restaurants in the region. Angelo did a magnificent job of recommending and making reservations in several places. All in all, Villa della Torre is one of our favorite places to spend several day in Italy. We will definitely be back again. If you’re thinking about visiting Verona or Fumane, make a reservation at Villa della Torre. It’s memorable.

We (a group a ladies) decided to do an impromptu stop at the vineyard, and luckily we met a wonderful lady at the entrance. Thanks to her we manage to get a tour and tasting at the estate. The location is beautiful and we got interesting insight into the Allegrini story and the wines. Her English was great and after just 3 days in the job, she took very good care of us. Perfect hours spent at a girl trip. As a special treat we got to meet the queen herself as we biked of the property.
