Outside Verona, Byblos Art Hotel Villa Amista occupies a richly decorated 15th-century villa surrounded by formal gardens and parkland. Historic frescoes, marble and carved details are set against vivid contemporary art, sculptural furniture and intensely coloured textiles. Rooms and suites follow individual schemes rather than a single decorative language, while the pool, spa and gardens provide calmer spaces beyond the interiors. The symmetrical villa façade, clipped hedges and stone terraces preserve the estate’s Renaissance composition, even as the art collection introduces a deliberately provocative counterpoint.
