Palace of the Magnificent Motherland

We loved our stay at Villa Michelangelo! We only stayed for 2 nights but wished we stayed longer. The staff were so friendly and helpful and there was a real feeling of luxury here. We loved the swimming pool and the beautiful grounds and it was quiet even though we stayed in mid-July and there were plenty of other guests around. The location is fantastic as you are up in the hills with incredible views and quiet scenery but then can easily get to Verona or Venice for a day out and Vicenza is also a lovely town, only about 15 minutes drive away, but what a beautiful drive it was! From Vicenza, you can get the train to Venice in under an hour. Plenty of parking available too. We had dinner at the hotel one night and although it was a little on the expensive side, we had a sensational burger and the service was lovely and the outdoor terrace a beautiful spot. The bedroom was comfortable and quiet. The bathroom was the only thing that let it down as it was very small and quite dark. The bath was actually a bit dangerous, as it was moulded to have a sort of seat at one end but it meant the floor of the tub isn’t smooth and you could easily lose your footing, especially in the dark. The bath wasn’t full size so probably better to just replace with a walk in shower. Breakfast was taken in yet another beautiful room and the buffet was good. I would highly recommend this hotel and will come back!

The breakfast was very disappointing. It was our only change to get a full meal before our long international trip as a family. Eggs were fake, bacon was cooked prosciutto, coffee horrible and fruits fermented.

Breakfast was lovely and staff welcoming. Plenty of trams and buses available. We walked from Milano Central to the hotel - 1 hour. Pleasant walk on the flat. Walk to the city centre approximately 15 minutes. The hotel was spotless and well maintained, decor a little dated (90s). Would recommend and would stay again.
