From BRL 245
United Meat: It was very comfortable, good location not far from the sights, shop, cafe. Good breakfast, everything included, everything needed. The room is very clean, the hotel is new, everything liked. The administrator told me where to go better and what to visit, which made it easier for me to travel and I saw more than when I was here last time. Recommended!
Via Luigi Lenotti, 4 e/4C
From BRL 372
JINRONG: The biggest hotel in Italy, the underground parking lot is very safe, the front desk will give a password, enter the password downstairs to park directly. The doorway of the car is farther away, and the door is flat. In addition, the hotel's breakfast is good. You can go to Lake Garda, not too far away, the environment is not bad. Recommended to stay in Verona for a few more days. A small but very comfortable city!

The location is very good, just right next to the Verona porta nuova train station, and the bus stop just right across the street, can take you to casa di giulietta They have luggage storage which is very nice if you still have time and need to go somewhere after check out in the morning.
Piazzale XXV Aprile 6/C
From BRL 665
Guest User: The room was spotless and surprisingly spacious, giving plenty of room to unpack and move around comfortably. The hotel is within walking distance of the Verona Porta Nuova train station and the main bus hub, making public transit and day trips very easy. My double room featured two single beds pushed together rather than a true single mattress double frame, which can result in a gap in the middle.
Via delle Coste, 2

Mountains and Lakes: Just as Desired
From the poet's residence to the cloisters of monasteries, and the breathtaking scenery of the Dolomites. 🏡 Asolo · The Poet's Residence My journey began with a landing in Venice, without rushing. In just an hour, I arrived in Asolo. This quaint town nestled in the hills of Veneto is quiet and slow-paced, like an unfinished poem. Villa Cipriani was the residence of poet Robert Browning in his later years. It’s not a chain hotel but a property owned by the Cipriani family. The garden, terrace, antique furniture, and mountain views are all perfectly balanced—not ostentatious, but exuding refined taste. On the first day, I didn’t plan any sightseeing. I simply made a detour to Treviso, where the Sile River branches through the town. There, I saw ancient water mills and frescoes painted on the exterior walls of buildings dating back to the Middle Ages and the 16th century. Then, I headed into the mountains, rested, and adjusted to the time zone. I sipped tea in the garden, admired the mountain views from the terrace, and went to bed early. 🏨 Accommodation: Villa Cipriani (Asolo) 🏔️ Ortisei · Mountains and Meadows Heading north from Asolo, I entered the Dolomites. Ortisei is the hub of the western Dolomites and the best base for the next two days. However, I chose not to stay in the town itself but instead headed to Selva. Upon arrival, I visited the Alpe di Siusi plateau via cable car. Europe’s largest alpine meadow unfolded beneath me—rolling grass slopes, wooden huts, grazing cattle, and sunlight streaming through the clouds. Every snapshot was picture-perfect. I still had energy left to stroll around Ortisei town. Wooden houses, churches, cafes—the air was filled with the scent of pine resin and grass. 🏨 Accommodation: Selva (2 nights) 🌄 Val di Funes · Waiting for the Light From Selva, it was a fifty-minute drive to Val di Funes. The small town of Santa Maddalena is home to the tiny Church of St. Giovanni, perched on a hillside. Behind it, the jagged peaks of the Geisler Group rise like a row of teeth—gray and white. I set out in the afternoon and waited for sunset on the grassy slope in front of the church. The light first touched the spire, then slowly climbed the mountain, turning the gray-white rocks into warm gold, and finally into pink. This was the most photogenic half-hour of the entire trip. No hiking, no climbing—the grassy slope was the perfect viewing platform. With plenty of time left that day, I also visited the Church of St. John, which is even smaller, lonelier, and looks like a postcard. 💧 Lake Braies · Gem Green Heading further northeast, I reached Lake Braies in about an hour and a half. The lake’s water is a gem-like green, crystal clear. I rowed a boat, walked around the lake, and strolled leisurely along the wooden boardwalk by the shore. Hotel Lago di Braies, an old building from 1899, sits right by the lake and offers the best vantage point for capturing stunning lake views. I stayed for two to three hours before continuing southward. Fifty minutes later, I arrived at Castel Badia. This day was a transition day, but Lake Braies broke up the long journey into manageable segments, making it far from exhausting. 🏨 Accommodation: Castel Badia (2 nights) 🏰 Castel Badia · Monastery Cloisters Castel Badia was originally a Benedictine monastery dating back to the 11th century. It was later converted into a hotel and is now part of the Leading Hotels of the World. The property features cloisters, frescoes, stone walls, and a chapel. It feels like a blend of the Monastery of Meteora and the Château de Chillon on dry land. It’s not about “modern design” but rather an “old soul.” Its timeless elegance and attention to detail seem to whisper, “You deserve to be treated well.” I didn’t plan any outings for this day. I simply strolled through the cloisters, relaxed in the garden, and indulged in the spa. The hotel itself was the destination. 🛍️ Milan · The Final Night From Castel Badia, I drove west for about three hours to Milan, stopping at Verona and Lake Garda along the way for lunch and a walk, breaking up the long drive. Portrait Milano is tucked away in a courtyard within the fashion district. It was converted from a 16th-century seminary. With walnut wood, rattan, and light, every detail is meticulously crafted yet warm—like visiting the home of a friend with impeccable taste in Milan. On the final night, I had a good sleep. The next day, I departed from Malpensa Airport. 🏨 Accommodation: Portrait Milano Seven days, no mountain climbing, no rushing, no daily hotel changes. The poet’s residence, the meadows and lakes of the Dolomites, the monastery cloisters, and the courtyard in Milan. I saw mountains, I saw lakes, I took photos, and I was cared for. Mountains and lakes, just as desired. It’s not greed; it’s about making every moment worthwhile.
It's time to start looking forward to the midsummer in the Dolomites. This set of photos is from my past two...

Staying in the Dolomites, your phone’s photo album will become legendary
Before my first trip to the Dolomites, I thought it was just “European snowy mountains.” After returning, I realized: this place is basically a real-life Windows desktop + the filming location of "Heidi and Grandpa"! If you’re planning to travel to northern Italy, I really recommend saving this article first, because the Dolomites aren’t a place you can just “arrive and play.” If you get the route, weather, or transportation wrong, your experience will be cut in half. ——Here’s everything I’ve personally tested and found useful, all organized for you👇 📍【Where|Where exactly are the Dolomites?】 Located in the northern Italian Alps, you can drive here from Milan, Venice, or Verona. The core areas mainly include: ✔ Funes Valley ✔ Tre Cime di Lavaredo (Three Peaks) ✔ Lake Braies ✔ Cinque Torri (Five Towers) ✔ Cortina d'Ampezzo ✔ Mount Siusi (Seiser Alm) In short: this is not just a single attraction, but an entire “magical mountain region.” ⏰【When|When is the best time to go?】 Two recommended periods: 🌿 June to September: hiking + lake views + green meadows ❄ December to February: top-notch skiing If it’s your first time, I strongly suggest going before the end of September. The weather is stable, mountain roads are easier to drive, and you can even catch “snowy mountains + autumn colors” in the same frame. 🚗【How|How to get around?】 ❌ Don’t rely entirely on public transportation ✅ Best option: private car + guided tours! Many stunning photo spots aren’t accessible by direct train. Especially at sunrise and sunset, buses basically can’t keep up. ⚠ Mountain roads have many curves Driving Alpine roads for the first time can be nerve-wracking, but the scenery is so beautiful you’ll be screaming with joy while driving. Tips: ✔ Download offline maps in advance ✔ Bring sunglasses (strong reflection from snow) ✔ Definitely buy full insurance 📸【What|Must-visit places】 1️⃣ Funes Valley The Dolomites’ “signature” photo spot. The little chapel + snowy mountains look like a fairy tale world. 2️⃣ Lake Braies Known as the “Sapphire Lake.” In the morning, the lake surface is like a mirror, making every photo look like wallpaper. 3️⃣ Tre Cime di Lavaredo (Three Peaks) A must for hikers. Standing at the foot of the peaks will leave you speechless from the awe. 4️⃣ Cinque Torri (Five Towers) A must for history buffs and photographers. One side is rocky peaks, the other side is a World War I site. 5️⃣ Mount Siusi (Seiser Alm) Europe’s largest alpine meadow. In summer, it looks like the Windows desktop; in autumn, like an oil painting. ⚠【Avoid these mistakes|Very important】 ❌ Don’t stay just one day The Dolomites are vast; changing hotels every day will exhaust you. ❌ Don’t underestimate temperature differences It can be 20°C at the base and only 5°C at the summit. Accommodation 🏨Funes Valley Hotel A boutique hotel in Funes Valley, with views of the little chapel and snowy mountains right from your window, surrounded by beautiful scenery. 🏨Lake Braies Resort A resort hotel next to Lake Braies, with spacious rooms offering lake and mountain views. 🏨Tre Cime Hotel Close to the Three Peaks, perfect for hiking enthusiasts, offering hiking guides and equipment rental. 🏨Cortina d'Ampezzo Hotel A five-star hotel in Cortina, fully equipped with attentive service, ideal for family vacations.
Dolomites Family Accommodation: A Real-Life Fairy Tale World
The Dolomites, located in the Italian Alps, are a real-life fairy tale world. Not only do they boast magnificent snow-capped mountains, crystal-clear lakes, and vast grasslands, but they are also the filming location for "Heidi," making them perfect for a family trip with kids. The Dolomites are not a single attraction, but an entire "heavenly mountain range." The core areas mainly include Funes Valley, Tre Cime di Lavaredo, Lake Braies, Cinque Torri, Cortina, and Alpe di Siusi. You can drive there from Milan, Venice, or Verona. The best time to visit the Dolomites is from June to September and December to February. From June to September, you can hike and enjoy the lake views and lush green meadows; December to February is the ultimate season for skiing. If it's your first time, we highly recommend visiting before the end of September, when the weather is stable, mountain roads are easy to drive, and you can witness the beautiful scenery of snow-capped mountains and autumn colors together. Regarding transportation, don't rely entirely on public transport, as many stunning photo spots are not directly accessible by train, especially during sunrise and sunset, when buses are usually unavailable. The most recommended modes of transport are private car hire or guided tours. If you choose to drive, be aware that mountain roads have many curves; first-time drivers in the Alps might feel nervous, but the scenery is so beautiful you'll be screaming with delight as you drive. It's advisable to download offline maps in advance, prepare sunglasses (due to strong glare from the snow), and definitely purchase full insurance. There are many worthwhile places to visit in the Dolomites. Funes Valley is an "iconic" photo spot in the Dolomites, with its small church set against snow-capped mountains, truly resembling a fairy tale world. Lake Braies is known as the "sapphire lake"; in the morning, the lake surface is like a mirror, and every shot looks like a wallpaper. Tre Cime di Lavaredo is a must-visit for hikers; standing at the foot of the mountains will leave you awe-struck into silence. Cinque Torri features rock formations on one side and World War I relics on the other – history and photography enthusiasts should not miss it. Alpe di Siusi is Europe's largest alpine meadow, looking like a Windows desktop in summer and an oil painting in autumn. When visiting the Dolomites, be sure to avoid these pitfalls. Don't stay for just one day; the Dolomites are vast, and changing hotels daily will be exhausting. Also, don't underestimate the temperature difference; it might be 20℃ at the base of the mountain but only 5℃ at the summit, so remember to bring enough warm clothes for your children. Accommodation 🏨Alpe di Siusi Resort Located in Alpe di Siusi, this resort is surrounded by vast alpine meadows, offering beautiful surroundings, perfect for a relaxing family vacation with kids. 🏨Cinque Torri B&B A unique B&B near Cinque Torri, offering a taste of local customs and culture.

The arena might not be as famous as the Colosseo but it is actually a really stunning piece of architecture!

AmandaMeCastelvecchio Museum
The first attraction I visited in Verona was the old castle museum, which was preserved from the original castle. The place is quite large and it takes about two hours to walk around. Next door is the old town of Verona, and on the other side is a beautiful river.

Great lively plaza right in the heart of the city. There's something magical about standing there in this beautiful city surrounded by the excitement and people.

Romeo's former residence is a very small house. The entire residence is a very ordinary building on the block. Here you can learn about the decoration of Romeo's life at that time. It is basically one of the landscapes that literature lovers check in. It is not too big.

This stone bridge is very unique. You will pass by it on the way to the castle. It is also a beautiful scenery from a distance. There will also be street artists performing on the stone bridge, as well as people riding bicycles.
