Most Dutch people like to keep their distance. Especially when they meet new people. And then still. It's a culture thing: treat your neighbour as you want your neighbour to treat you, combined with a small amount of space, and you get my drift. Thus, insincerity is easy to spot and, when felt, frowned upon. We got stuck in Verona,... More

we are so glad to have stayed at B&B villa beatrice. Simone made all the difference with his warm hospitality, genuine manner and utmost care for all of his guests. His suggestions for things to do round span everything you need to know - activities, food, wine, best places to shop for certain things, even the best hour to drive... More

Breakfasts are what really makes a B&B stand out from the crowd - here you get something really special served in the fabulous gardens. Simone is a super host - full of endless suggestions for the best restaurants, wineries and sightseeing options. You really feel at home here - amongst olive groves and vineyards in the hills above Verona (10... More

This is certainly much more than the B&Bs you're used to! The feeling you have in Villa Beatrice is same as when you visit a good friend at his wonderful villa the countryside, where he literally asks you to feel like home.

We stayed at Villa Beatrice, a homey B&B situated above the orchards and vineyards that overlook Verona. This is our 3rd visit, and we are comfortable here being hosted by Simone, a young Veronese, who takes great pride in his morning juice cocktails (ginger, pineapple, kiwi, lemon, apple, etc), home made yogurt, and (by request) apple/rice cake (just like grandma...

My husband and I and our 1 year old daughter enjoyed our 2 nights at Villa Beatrice in April. Simone was a fantastic host, giving us lots of great recommendations for our short time in Verona. It may look like the B and B is a bit out of town, but it is less than 10 minutes drive to great... More

My husband and I have just spent 3 nights at Villa Beatrice in Verona. It was a slice of paradise on earth! So quiet and tranquil and yet so close to the bustling centre of Verona. The reason we have given Villa Beatrice 5 stars is because of the host Simone. He was absolutely amazing! Sat us down and wanted... More

Believe the hype - this is a great place to stay. We booked 2 nights there based simply on all the raving reviews and it didn't disappoint - Simone is fabulous. He is indeed a great host, does make amazing cappuccinos & beautiful fresh juices and the breakfasts are gorgeous - he also has great recommendations for places to go... More

Recently it was our 40th wedding anniversary and my son organised for us to stay at Villa Beatrice - we were met with a very warm welcome - and Simone organised for us to eat in an excellent restaurant that evening. His hospitality and his fiancee' were excellent - I especially appreciated the healthy fruit smoothie first thing for breakfast... More
