About the hotel
Nestled among centuries-old olive trees on the hills overlooking Verona, Relais Fra’ Lorenzo enjoys a privileged position just a few minutes from the city’s historic centre. Surrounded by greenery and overlooking the UNESCO-listed skyline, the property offers a peaceful retreat while remaining close to Verona’s Roman monuments, piazzas, and cultural landmarks.
Inspired by the legendary Friar Lorenzo from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, the relais embraces a philosophy centred on tranquillity, personalised hospitality, and wellbeing. Every stay is designed to feel intimate and unhurried, allowing guests to experience Verona from an exclusive panoramic setting away from the city’s bustle.
The villa combines elegant classical architecture with refined contemporary comforts. Individually designed rooms and suites feature antique furnishings, handcrafted details, marble bathrooms, and views across either the gardens or Verona itself. Outside, landscaped grounds, an infinity pool, and panoramic terraces create an atmosphere of understated luxury immersed in nature.
What distinguishes Relais Fra’ Lorenzo is its exceptional balance between countryside tranquillity and city access. Guests can explore Verona, Lake Garda, or the vineyards of Valpolicella before returning to a peaceful hillside retreat offering concierge services, wellness experiences, and one of the city’s most spectacular viewpoints.
Today, Relais Fra’ Lorenzo is best suited to couples, honeymooners, wine enthusiasts, and travellers seeking a refined boutique stay immersed in nature while remaining moments from Verona’s historic heart.

Creator experience
“What stayed with me most was how effortlessly Relais Fra’ Lorenzo helped me slow down. Even though Verona was only minutes away, the peaceful gardens and elegant atmosphere made it feel like a secluded private villa. After the pace of everyday life, it became the kind of place where simply being present was enough to feel completely relaxed and restored.”
