A Romantic Getaway in Verona for Valentine’s Day

Looking for a very special Valentine’s Day for you and your other half?

The Colomba d’Oro, by definition the 4-star hotel closest to the Verona Arena, is the perfect deal for an unforgettable romantic getaway: just the best gift to treat yourself and your loved one.

Verona is the city that inspired one of the most famous love stories ever told: « Romeo and Juliet ». It’s “the City of Love”, also because of the romantic atmosphere that can be felt in every corner here: among the ancient stones of its cobbled streets, the colors of its squares, and the variety of its panoramas. And in fact, it is here that the Netflix movie “Love in the Villa” is set (and was filmed).

Thanks to our Valentin’s Day Weekend special offer (that can be boked only here on our website) you can enjoy a two-night romantic getaway at the best available price, on Friday 14 and Saturday 15 February 2025.

You will be staying in a romantic double room equipped with all the comforts for an intimate and relaxing experience here, upon your arrival, you will find a bottle of high-quality rosé prosecco to welcome you, together with two heart-shaped chocolates, served in a themed red box, and fresh strawberries, to give a taste of summer to your romantic winter escape. And you will also have something to take home with you: an exclusive handmade pop-up card, themed Romeo and Juliet – a souvenir of your romantic adventure in Verona.

During Valentin’s Day Weekend, the historic center of Verona is super themed thanks to the “VERONA IN LOVE” festival, featuring guided tours, music and entertainment dedicated and designed for lovers, a celebration of love and romance with concerts, markets, and events at Juliet’s House. But beyond the special entertainment that will be set up all around, here’s our tips for the “perfect romantic walk” that you can enjoy in downtown Verona.

Your journey begins literally a few steps from the Colomba d’Oro, at the Verona Arena, which has hosted breathtaking performances and shows for centuries and is already preparing the 102nd edition of its Opera Festival. Here, among the ancient stones, love has found its voice in several operas performed on stage.

Right there, just in front of the Arena, you will find the iconic “Forever Love” sculpture-bench, framed by a heart formed by the letters “G” (for « Giulietta », Juliet in Italian) and “R” (for “Romeo”): a picture with the Arena behind you is a must! Further on in your stroll, along Via Mazzini, which is the main shopping street in Verona, you arrive in Piazza delle Erbe, the heart of medieval Verona, where the lively atmosphere and the beauty of the historic buildings create a perfect setting for every encounter. Among the colors of the stalls and the Gothic architecture, love is within reach.

Not far away is the iconic Juliet’s balcony, the symbol par excellence of romantic love. Thanks to the legend made famous by William Shakespeare, Juliet’s House is one of the most famous must-see in the city of the Colomba d’Oro: thousands of lovers leave here messages of hope and desire on the walls. As Shakespeare wrote: ” Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds “: true love, the one that resists the tests of time and difficulties, is immutable and eternal.

Finally we head towards Ponte Pietra, another postcard of Verona where you can go ogn with your romantic walk losing yourself in the view of the bend of the Adige River that flows beneath your steps, and conclude the journey of love enjoying the view from the panoramic terrace of Castel San Pietro.

To easily visit Verona the Colomba d’Oro also offers you a bike rental service, so you can explore every corner of the city riding along the banks of the Adige river or through the quiet streets of the historic center. Our reception staff will be glad to provide you with all the information and assistance to make your tour unforgettable.

After a day spent among the beauties of Verona, you can end your day on a high note with a candlelit dinner in one of the restaurants and trattorias of the old town; and after that the Colomba d’Oro welcomes you in its intimate and romantic Lounge Bar, where you can sip a cocktail or a glass of red wine before retiring to your room. And don’t forget that the next morning, breakfast is served until 11:00: you can therefore linger at your leisure in the warmth of your room.
