There is no doubt that this converted farmhouse is truly magical - even when it pours with rain!

Fabulous location, however as stated previously 15 mins (25 euros taxi) out of Verona and only a couple of restaurants closeby. Particular mention to Villa Reniz at the bottom of the hill over the mainroad- food was delicious and very cheap.

Room was fab- Greta- decor very tastefully done- breakfast freshly cooked, staff very helpful.

Grounds lovley - but unfortunately we couldnt appreciate due to the constant downpours.

Would definately return but only with transport.

La Magioca was a great place to stay and the staff was great! Our hostess, in Italian only, managed to communicate warmly and make us feel at home. Breakfasts were filling and excellent. Rooms were clean and nicely decorated. Great chocolates were available in the lounge. In fact, there was always something to munch on somewhere, and their choice of Prosecco was terrific. But for a couple of issues (one specific to us), we would give La Magioca an excellent.

The specific issue was fragrances - there were cachets and fragrant items in several places in our room. Some folks won't care, but it is an issue for my allergy-prone spouse. Our bath had no shower curtain. There is a hand shower hose that's hung on the wall, but don't try to take a shower standing up - you'll get the whole bathroom wet. There are occasional events (especially weddings) that might be disruptive to a guest.

There is one fantastic restaurant just out the gate and another OK one across the road. The hotel is out in the country in the Valpolicella wine region. Verona itself is a bit of a poke and the roads are confusing, but we managed to use La Magioca as a base for exploring lakes Garda and Como, the Dolomites (Trento, Bolzano & Cortina), Bergamo, Vicenza and of course Verona.

We would definitely stay there again.

A lovely relaxing place to unwind and have a lovely bubbly jacuzzi bath accompanied by a dip in the hot tub and a delicious runny barn egg served in the morning. Would definately return.

We had an excellent stay in La Magioca for 5 nights at the begging of September. We had a civil wedding ceremony in Verona on the Saturday morning followed by an afternoon anglican blessing in the 13th century chapel on the grounds of La Magioca. The staff at La Magioca went well out of their way to be of help (even ironed the mens suits before the big day) and they made our stay wonderful. Most of our wedding day was spent enjoing the beautiful grounds of La Magioca with a buffet lunch and a traditional italian candlelight evening meal on the terrace. The rooms are fantastic, everything we could have wished for (especailly "Greta"), and it was lovely waking up to the smell of homemade plum cake and croissants being baked in the mornings. Our wedding was arranged by Gloria Franco of [--] and with the help of people at La Magioca, she made our day one that we will never forget.
