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.

May Green landscapes and late spring days.
Early June Longer evenings and the beginning of summer.
Verona Culture, restaurants and evenings in the city.
Valpantena Vineyards, countryside and outdoor experiences.
Lake Garda An easy addition to a longer weekend.
Why come in May or June

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.

01

Longer days

More daylight gives you time to explore Verona during the day and still return to the hills for the evening.

03

Outdoor experiences

E-bike rides, horseback excursions, vineyard visits and time in the garden fit naturally into a late-spring weekend.

04

A taste of summer

Early June begins to bring the atmosphere of summer while keeping the countryside at the centre of the stay.

May or early June?

Two slightly different ways to spend the weekend.

May

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.

Verona on foot
Vineyard experiences
E-bike and horseback excursions
Countryside lunches and dinners
Early June

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.

Time by the pool

A May or June weekend

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.

Friday

Arrive in the hills.

Check in at Villa Balis Crema and begin the weekend away from the activity of the city.

Stay outside the city

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.

Historic A sixteenth-century residence.
Countryside In the green hills of Valpantena.
Connected Verona and the surrounding area within reach.
Late-spring experiences

Spend part of the weekend outdoors.

May and early June are particularly suited to experiences that connect the stay with Valpantena and Verona.

Ride through the countryside and discover the landscapes of Valpantena on an e-bike.

Around Villa Balis Crema

One weekend, several sides of the Verona area.

Verona

Spend a morning or afternoon between the historic centre, the Arena, piazzas and the banks of the Adige.

Valpantena

The immediate landscape around the Villa is made for outdoor experiences, vineyards and countryside drives.

Valpolicella

Add wine country to the weekend with cellars, vineyards and the hills north of Verona.

Lake Garda

Extend the itinerary west for a day by the lake before returning to the Verona Hills.

Time at Villa Balis Crema

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.

Breakfast

Begin the day at the Villa before deciding whether to head into Verona or stay in the hills.

Garden & pool

As the season grows warmer, the outdoor spaces become an increasingly important part of the stay.

SPA

Add a wellness experience when you want a quieter alternative to a full day of sightseeing.

Osteria Gazega

On opening days, reserve a table and enjoy dinner without leaving the property.

May · June · Verona Hills

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.
