| Had Romeo and Juliet known that Villa Giona was right on their doorstep, their choice of wedding venue would undoubtedly have been here in this beautiful villa which is one of the most prestigious historical mansions in the famous wine producing area of Valpolicella. |
A place of peaceful tranquility nestling amidst vineyards and stunning scenery. Sparkling fountains, beautiful lush Italian gardens, birdsong and the sound of silence to fill your hearts.
All this and in the enviable position of being only a stones throw from the historic city of Verona and the breathtaking scenery and sparkling shores of Lake Garda.

A place where time stands still, a peaceful green oasis where beauty reigns supreme and where hospitality is professional and heartfelt. A small piece of paradise where romance hangs heavily in the air and where dreams really do come true. |
16 beautifully appointed rooms and suites can be hired for your exclusive use and breakfast in the loggia, overlooking the romantic gardens, is an ideal start to any day.
Relax in the fruit orchards under the shade of the olive trees or enjoy a swim in the sparkling waters of the spacious swimming pool. |
In the evening enjoy one of the many fine wines which are produced on the estate and share your dreams and the company of your family and close friends in one of the most peaceful locations ever. Retire to the romantic setting of the bridal suite in the tower and prepare for the most important day of your lives in this stunning fairytale scenario. |
Italy is renowned for the quality and freshness of its food and at Villa Giona only the best is served and always with the same top class service which permeates throughout this fine stately home...
The signature dish at Villa Giona is their “Tortellini di Valeggio” created for the wedding feast of a rich nobleman and his bride to be.
The importance of this union was portrayed by a lovers knot tied into the pasta.
Celebrating your wedding day at Villa Giona is just like their famous tortellini ----- your lover’s knots will never unravel.
