Charm and Modern Luxury in Verona
If Juliet, instead of musing quietly, had given her lines a good bellow the youthful ‘Romeos’ at the Accademia could have heard her. Shakespeare set the play in Verona and Juliet’s house, with its legendary balcony, is in Erbe Square, just a short stroll from Accademia. From 1565 it was known as the Accademia dei Filotimi; an educational establishment for young noblemen.
Today’s Hotel Accademia is a delightful combination of elegant tradition and modern luxury and, as you step out onto Via Mazzini, you can well imagine yourself in Verona at the time of the Capulets. Little has changed in the old city; it is still a place of many layers, offering you a rich tapestry of art and architecture, sophisticated shops and happening restaurants.

Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
