Verona's most prestigious address, the Due Torri has welcomed royalty and dignitaries since the 14th century. Each room is individually decorated with period furniture and authentic antiques, and the location on Piazza Sant'Anastasia puts guests steps from the city's finest medieval architecture.
Due Torri Hotel stands on Piazza Sant'Anastasia in the heart of Verona's UNESCO World Heritage historic centre, adjacent to the Basilica of Sant'Anastasia — one of the finest Gothic churches in northern Italy. Records of hospitality on this site trace back to the 14th century, placing this among the oldest hotels in Italy. The guest register over the centuries includes Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria, Tsar Alexander I, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The building is a magnificent Gothic and Renaissance palazzo occupying a prime position within the pedestrianised medieval quarter of Verona.
What distinguishes Due Torri above comparable properties is its collection of authentic period furnishings: each of the 92 rooms and suites is individually furnished with antiques, tapestries, carved wood furniture, silk hangings, and objets d'art accumulated over several centuries. The effect is closer to an inhabited aristocratic residence than a conventional hotel. Some suites contain items — clavichords, painted armoires, coffered ceilings — that would not look out of place in a major European museum. An on-site workshop maintains and restores the collection.
The hotel's location is exceptionally central: the Roman Arena on Piazza Bra is a 10-minute walk; Juliet's House (Casa di Giulietta) is 5 minutes; the Ponte Pietra bridge over the Adige River is a short walk in the opposite direction. The Bistrot Due Torri restaurant serves regional Veronese cuisine including fresh pasta, local lake fish, and wines from the nearby Valpolicella DOC zone, which produces the celebrated Amarone della Valpolicella. A fitness centre is available, and valet parking is provided — a practical advantage given Verona's ZTL restricted traffic zone covering the entire historic centre. The concierge specialises in arranging opera tickets for the Arena di Verona summer festival, one of the most spectacular open-air opera venues in the world. The hotel is also an excellent base for day trips to Lake Garda (30 minutes by car) and the Valpolicella and Soave wine regions.
