Tenuta Le Cave ★★★★

You’ll quickly fall in love with this hotel's rustic charm. Once an old marl quarry, this small rural estate is now a hotel and an organic and biodynamic vinicultural holding producing renowned and delicious regional wines such as Valpolicella, Ripasso and Amarone – a perfect destination for wine lovers to indulge.

Expect country-chic décor and eco-friendly architecture with its exposed stone walls, iron finishings and wood beams. Unpack in your luxurious, comfy room and marvel at the beautiful balance of both modern and antique furnishings with plenty of references to Italian art and culture. Then, simply relax on your private balcony and contemplate the stunning views.

Enjoy the hotel’s excellent Le Cave restaurant serving sumptuous local cuisine made with fresh, organic local produce, including aromatic herbs hand-picked from the garden. Whether it’s their midweek light lunches or elaborate and refined dinner menus, you'll not be disappointed. As you might expect from a hotel with its own well-stocked wine cellar, great attention is paid to the pairing of wines to enhance the characteristics of the dishes - someone will always be on hand to talk the wines through with you.

Escape from the world and pamper body and mind in the pretty wellness centre and spa – enjoy a Finnish sauna, Turkish bath or the salt cave, where you can enjoy the benefits of halotherapy: a thermal treatment that frees and purifies the respiratory system, strengthening the immune system. Perhaps take a dip in the outdoor pool surrounded by majestic Venetian-style columns and statues.

The hotel’s ethos is that the good things in life are better shared, and you’ll be so glad they want to share it all with you. Sounds idyllic, don't you think?
