Byblos Art Hotel Villa Amistà, an SLH Hotel

Byblos Art Hotel is an exquisite 5 star property!||The team was extremely polite, professional and attentive. |The hotel is beautiful inside and out. I loved waking up to the rooster every morning and seeing them running around the property :)||All the team members we encountered had gone above and beyond. A big thank you to Riccardo and the front office team, the two young servers in the lobby bar, the lovely shuttle drivers, the housekeeping team who handled our room with such care and the F&B team for an amazing breakfast experience. ||Thank you again team Byblos, we will definitely be back next time we are in Valpolicella!

Such a special treat to stay at this hotel. The art is amazing. The room was spectacular. The breakfast buffet interesting and varied. The service was great. The towels were the softest I've ever experienced. The pool was so luxurious. The only criticism... change the poolside music (!). I dunno how the pool staff cope listening to the same, same, same bland music over and over. The pre-opera restaurant food is very good. Personally, we'd not go back to the fancy restaurant- its soulless and a bit too funky, although well cooked. The chef came round to say hello though, which was nice.

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!

This is our second time to Byblos Art Hotel, for a reason. The property is fantastic, a combination of Villa and a lovely curated modern art museum.||What makes it stand out are the people who work here, all lovely and fantastic. Riccardo at the reception, was very helpful helping us dealing with all small details. ||Finally, the food is absolutely amazing. Ristorante Amista is a michelin starred restaurant, but it combines classic Veronese cooking with everything you would except from such a restaurant. Chefs Simone and Mattia have created a top notch menu.||I could go on, and I certainly missing people who were amazing, and we will certainly return for a third time.

I cannot recommend this hotel, mainly because the value for money is simply outrageous. For the rates they charge, the overall experience is nowhere near acceptable.|Breakfast was shockingly poor: the selection was small, the quality disappointing, and the scrambled eggs were practically liquid. The shower in our room was blocked, full of limescale and mold in the corners. As a couple, we were given just one small blanket (about 1.40 x 2 m), wrapped only in loose bed sheets that came undone, leaving us with an uncovered duvet. When we asked for another blanket, we were only provided with yet another sheet.|The pool service was chaotic and slow – waiting endlessly for something as simple as a drink. Speaking of drinks: prices are absurd. €20 for a simple long drink is unjustifiable, especially given the quality, and room service adds another €15 surcharge on top of already overpriced items. The room itself was underwhelming: very basic for the price, with a cheap TV that only receives Italian channels and no international options. The minibar was poorly stocked and honestly felt like an afterthought.|To be fair, the architecture of the villa and the gardens are beautiful, and the staff themselves are friendly and do try their best. But unfortunately, these positives cannot make up for the many flaws. The hotel positions itself as luxury, but what you actually get feels careless, outdated, and massively overpriced.

Byblos Art Hotel Villa Amista ||Corrubbio di Negarine || ||1026243013 ||Beautiful villa ruined by atrocious contemporary art by the world's worst artists. Hideously installed art everywhere, corridors filled with pathetic graffiti art. The rooms are ridiculously furnished with garish colors and dumb art. Towels, sheets and pillows are of the worst quality. The prices are absurd. The only redeeming factor was a good breakfast. If you love pointless pretensions, stay there. Otherwise steer clear!!!

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.

Gorgeous and unique experience. We loved being just outside Verona especially as that gave us access to a pool and AC during a very hot week. Having a car was key - we did our city touring during the day then took advantage of some amazing restaurants outside of town at night. There are a few nearby and in the hotel. Only negative - AC in our room wasn’t great overnight and TV didn’t work.
