Villa Guarienti Valpolicella

Set in the enchanting Byblos Art Hotel, Amistà reflects the colourful, dreamlike world of the villa itself, where the historical and the contemporary coexist in natural harmony, inspired by the hotel's defining muse: art. The food reflects this same interplay between past and present, reinterpreting traditional recipes using creative approaches presented in two distinct tasting menus. Dishes can also be ordered à la carte. The wine list is particularly noteworthy, featuring over 1,500 labels and a remarkable selection of rare wines.

A few kilometers from Lake Garda, on gentle vine‑clad slopes, the entrance to Villa Cordevigo, home to L’Oseleta, makes a grand impression as it opens between two rows of cypress trees.

In summer, the terrace offers a fresh, cool setting with extensive views. The barbecued meat is superb.
