Quick Take: A gorgeous, eco-chic hideaway that feels miles from civilization, provided you don't mind driving for dinner if you tire of the on-site menu.
Reviewed by @LasWassOk: I found the perfect hideaway just outside Verona. Tenuta Le Cave feels less like a hotel and more like a private art estate. My favorite part was sipping wine on the terrace while watching the sunset over the vineyards. It’s the peaceful Italian escape I didn't know I needed.
