Magari Estates Hotel
Italian slow-living estate. Antique furniture, local art, exposed stone, timber ceilings — but with Simmons mattresses and 100% cotton linens. No TVs in rooms, intentionally. More about long dinners, vineyard walks, and cellar tastings than sightseeing sprints.
Book the Fasoli 99 tasting menu at dinner — it pairs historic Fasoli Gino wines with each course and is the standout food-and-wine experience on property
Why It Matters
One of very few hotels in Italy where the on-site winemaking family has been cultivating these exact vines for four generations. The hotel is inside a 16th-century estate, open year-round, and rated 9.4 on Booking.com across 315+ reviews. The restaurant is run by chef Matteo Nogarole and is open to non-guests — it's genuinely worth a dinner even if you're not sleeping here.
A 15-room boutique hotel inside a restored 16th-century noble villa in the Illasi Valley, about 25 minutes east of Verona. Thick stone walls, arched corridors, and a sunlit courtyard are the bones — the Pellegrino and Fasoli families have layered on contemporary design without sanding off the history. The Fasoli side of the family have been making wine here since 1925, and that winery (Fasoli Gino) is literally 800 metres down the road. Wine isn't an add-on; it's the whole point of the place.
Where You'll Stay
7 room types available
Deluxe Double Room
Bright and airy rooms overlooking the gardens and vineyards. Slightly larger than the Superior at 22m², with Simmons mattresses and 100% cotton linens. Intricate detailing and spacious bathrooms — the step up from the Superior is mostly in finish quality and the vineyard views.
King · 22 sqm
Deluxe Suite
Light-filled and naturally bright at 33m². Large armchairs by the window are positioned for exactly the right activity: a glass of wine and a book. Simmons mattress, 100% cotton linens, garden views. The décor leans toward natural light over ornamentation — calm and restorative.
King · 33 sqmMagari Suite with Tub & Balcony
The flagship at 67m² — a full apartment with a private entrance. Living room with sofa bed, separate king bedroom, walk-in wardrobe, fully equipped kitchen, and a generous bathroom with bathtub. Balcony overlooks the pool and rolling vineyards. Sleeps up to 4. This is the one to book if you're staying a week or want a home-away-from-home feel in the Italian countryside.
King · 67 sqmPremier Suite with Bathtub
Arguably the most atmospheric room at the hotel. Wrapped in timber, stone, and ancient mortar — this is what the 16th-century bones of the building look like at their most exposed. A freestanding feature bathtub faces the vineyard view. Simmons mattress, premium cotton linens. 33m².
King · 33 sqmSuperior Double Room
Ground-floor rooms with direct garden access. Decorated with antique furniture and artwork blending classic and contemporary styles. Small but well-finished — 20m² means it's cosy, not spacious. Good for a couple who plan to spend time outside the room rather than in it.
King · 20 sqmSuperior Suite
A proper multi-room setup at 38m² — king bedroom plus a separate living room with sofa bed. Antique charm mixed with contemporary design, accessible directly from the garden. Sleeps up to 4, which makes it the most practical option for families or friends sharing.
King · 38 sqmTerrace Suite
46m² of suite plus a wide private terrace overlooking the gardens and vineyards. Furnished with precious antiques and local art pieces — the most classically Italian-feeling of the rooms. Large bathroom, king bed, natural light in abundance. The terrace is the real draw here: it's the kind of spot you'll want to linger at with a Valpolicella at golden hour.
