Gaze out over expansive vineyards and undulating hills from this 17th-century base in Verona's countryside, just thirty minutes from the romantic city that inspired Romeo and Juliet. Located in a large traditional villa, the spacious apartment is spread over two floors and retains original features that bring distinctive old-world charm. We're thinking of the wood-beamed ceilings and elegant entry staircase, in particular. But despite its rich history, the home has been tastefully tailored to modern needs, with air conditioning throughout and a sleek kitchen where you'll find everything you need to prepare delicious Italian meals. And if that wasn't enough, the spacious swimming pool with pastoral views will surely tempt you. Start your day with a refreshing dip, or get your morning sun hit with a lounge on the shared terrace. If you're travelling with children, they'll be kept entertained by the home's amenities, including a garden swing set and a collection of board games. Come together each evening at the shaded outdoor dining table, listening to the birdsong gently fade as the day comes to a close.
