The hilly region of Verona, known as Valpolicella, is situated in north-west of the city of Romeo and Juliet and at short distance from Lake Garda. Valpolicella is the ideal stay for a Holiday in Verona: the typical agriturismos, hotels and cozy relais are the ideal solution and a quite place from where you can easily reach Verona, Lake Garda and the Lessini mountains.
The name of the region (Valpolicella) comes from the latin words Valle poli cellae, which means "valley of the many cellars", proving the ancient tradition of wine making of this region.
Here in Valpolicella a red wine was (and is actually) produced: sweet and concentrated, probably similar to the Recioto (famous throughout the world), known also as Acinatico or Retico, which Romans were used to drink adding water and spices.
Valpolicella is worldwide known for its famous wines, especially the Amarone, and for its breathtaking landscapes, the sweet hills that become mountains as you move north, the beautiful valleys with the old villages, the gorgeous villas and the medieval churches. Valpolicella is the ideal resort for a charming and relaxing Vacation in Italy.
