Byblos Art Hotel Villa Amistà, an SLH Hotel

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!

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.

A lovely hotel with interesting modern art ; however, it is showing its age after 20 years. Bathrooms need updating (showing wear and tear) and given its rates, the rooms are on the small side. The air-conditioning system is not strong enough for the very hot weather and needs to be updated. Breakfast choice is rather limited and needs to be improved. The pool and spa are good - the spa is very small and pre-booking is necessary. Service is kind. It is 20 min away from Verona but there is a very efficient shuttle service.

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.

This hotel is fabulous! Probably the coolest place I’ve ever stayed. So avant-garde. Every floor, every very room is an art piece. There is an extraordinary bartender in the bar - you must meet him and allow him to create something for you. If you are going to or bar Verona make plans to stay there!

Three of my colleagues and i stayed at the art hotel for 5 nights. And of behalf of our group i would like to share our experience: That was our second time staying at that beautiful place! Very good location if one wants to relax and enjoy the quietness of the area! Beautifully maintained garden areas, amazing interior - you simply walk and see ART everywhere ! The real Treasure in this hotel though, is the Astonishing Staff ! And i would like to mention few of them , that went above and beyond to make sure we are enjoying every minute! Huge « Thank You! » to Vitaly who drove us back and forth from/to the centre of Verona and was always on time, very kind and a true professional ! « Thank you! » goes to Sàvatore who spoiled us at the Bar each time we paid a visit, providing amazing drinks, professional service and great company! « Thank you! » goes to Andrea and Nicola who are amazing people, answering all our questions, and even blessing us with a great friendly positive energy ! Masters of their craft ! Many thanks to housekeeping and the rest of the team! True professionals, is what makes this place GREAT!

My husband and I just returned from spending three nights in the spectacular Byblos Art Hotel Villa Amista. We travel through Italy often and this was truly the most spectacular hotel I have ever seen. The art throughout and around every corner is stunning, the rooms are creative and beautiful, the spa is beyond anyone's imagination as are the grounds. Mr. Facchin and Beatriz are amazing hosts and so wonderful. All in all, the best three days in Italy - ever!

If it was a 3 star hotel I would give an higher score… but it is not. Apart from the great art collection all the rest was a shame. Rooms with no maintenance, old bath/shower. Spa was closed and no one told us at booking. Bar was always unattended. Michelin star restaurant not at standard. No service in general. Staff was friendly and helpful and they give us a discount at check out (nice). Maybe in high season with swimming pool and spa open could be a different experience.
