Founded by Giovanni Zenatello, one of the key protagonists of the opera programme at the Arena, the Hotel Accademia housed Maria Callas for much of her time in the city and is still owned by the Zenatello family today.
The elegant marble-panelled interior, complete with leather sofas and soft lighting makes for a charming and welcoming atmosphere, while the rooms themselves are spacious and well equipped. On the third floor, there is a small fitness suite and outdoor terrace complete with sunloungers. Outside, the Arena is just steps away along with many excellent restaurants and the city’s stylish central shopping district.
OUR OPINION:
The Hotel Accademia is a simple but well-located hotel, right in the heart of Verona. It boasts plenty of classic charm and the staff here are particularly friendly.
