Relais Balcone di Giulietta

Carved into the medieval courtyard building at Via Cappello 23 — the same address as Verona's famous balcony — Relais Balcone di Giulietta places guests metres from the city's most visited site, inside the historic centre and a ten-minute walk from Piazza Bra and the Roman Arena.

The location suits couples and literary pilgrims wanting to sleep within the cortile itself rather than observe it from the street. Early mornings, before tour groups arrive, the courtyard belongs almost entirely to guests staying inside the building.

Verona's centro storico is compact: the Adige river bends around the neighbourhood, Castelvecchio sits fifteen minutes west on foot, and the Arena hosts summer opera from June through August.
