May & June Weekend Escapes
Near Verona.
Longer days, green countryside and more time outdoors: spend a late-spring weekend in the Verona Hills, with Verona, Valpantena and Lake Garda all within easy reach.
When spring begins to feel like summer.
May and early June are among the most rewarding times
to spend a weekend in Northern Italy.
The countryside around Verona is green,
days become longer and warmer
and much of the weekend can move outdoors.
Villa Balis Crema sits in Valpantena,
among the hills outside Verona,
giving guests a quiet place to stay
without giving up the city.
Verona can fill an afternoon or evening,
the surrounding countryside invites exploration,
and Lake Garda can easily become part
of a longer weekend.
It is a simple way to experience
several sides of Veneto
without changing hotel every day.
A weekend with more of the day available.
Late spring works particularly well for a short break because the countryside, outdoor activities and nearby destinations can all become part of the same stay.
Longer days
More daylight gives you time to explore Verona during the day and still return to the hills for the evening.
Green countryside
The vineyards and hills of Valpantena are an important part of the experience, especially for travellers who want more than a city break.
Outdoor experiences
E-bike rides, horseback excursions, vineyard visits and time in the garden fit naturally into a late-spring weekend.
A taste of summer
Early June begins to bring the atmosphere of summer while keeping the countryside at the centre of the stay.
Two slightly different ways to spend the weekend.
Late spring in the Verona Hills.
May is ideal for travellers who want to spend most of the day outside, move between city and countryside and see Valpantena during one of its greenest periods.
The first feeling of summer.
Early June brings longer evenings and makes it even easier to alternate cultural visits, outdoor time and relaxed hours at the Villa.
Three days without trying to see everything.
For a short escape, the best itinerary is often the simplest: choose one experience for each day and leave enough time to enjoy the Villa itself.
Arrive in the hills.
Check in at Villa Balis Crema and begin the weekend away from the activity of the city.
Verona & Valpantena.
Spend part of the day in Verona's historic centre and reserve the rest for the countryside.
Choose the lake or stay local.
Add Lake Garda to the weekend, take an e-bike into Valpantena or simply spend more time at the Villa.
Verona when you want it. Countryside when you don't.
A weekend near Verona does not have to mean
staying in the historic centre.
Villa Balis Crema offers a different base:
a sixteenth-century residence
surrounded by the Valpantena landscape,
with the city still within easy reach.
This allows the weekend to move naturally
between art and architecture,
vineyards and outdoor activities,
and quieter hours back at the Villa.
Spend part of the weekend outdoors.
May and early June are particularly suited to experiences that connect the stay with Valpantena and Verona.

Extend the itinerary west for a day by the lake before returning to the Verona Hills.
Leave part of the weekend unplanned.
A short break does not need to become a list of attractions. The Villa itself gives you reasons to spend part of the day in Valpantena.
Begin the day at the Villa before deciding whether to head into Verona or stay in the hills.
As the season grows warmer, the outdoor spaces become an increasingly important part of the stay.
Add a wellness experience when you want a quieter alternative to a full day of sightseeing.
On opening days, reserve a table and enjoy dinner without leaving the property.
A weekend can be short.
It does not have to feel rushed.
Stay in the hills, spend time in Verona, discover the vineyards and choose whether the next day belongs to Lake Garda, an outdoor experience or simply the Villa.
