Corte San Mattia Agriturismo, Verona, Italy

Usually very organised, this time we were booking our accommodation in Verona, in the very last minute. Obviously many of the lovely hotels were booked out, but as always, I remained optimistic. As soon as I have found this little charming place I felt this was where I wanted me and my family to stay. 

Casa di Gulietta, Romeo & Juliet, Verona, Italy

The story of two young lovers from rival families is bringing annual pilgrimage of people of all ages and continents, to this most famous, romantic address in Italy. Casa di Gulietta, located at Via Cappello 23 in Verona and the story written by Luigi da Porto of Vicenza in the 1520s, has inspired many artists, dramas, films, operas and ballets.

Bellissima Verona, Italy

Yes, I've seen the 'Letters to Juliet' movie before visiting the area, but I have to admit that the Verona charm is very much there. This must be one of the most picturesque Italian towns I have ever been to.

Giardino Gusti, Verona, Italy

Today was going to be our first full day in Verona. Once again, we took the mini bus down to the city. The temperature was already pretty high, right from the early hours of the day. We decided to visit one of the many beautiful, Italian gardens: 'Giardino Gusti', a garden full of nature, art and history.
