We had a wonderful stay at Agriturismo Relais Maddalene101, and what makes this place special is the genuine, hands-on hospitality from Stefano, Francesca, and their wonderful dog Eugenio.
From the moment we arrived, you could feel how much care they put into every guest. They are present, attentive, and happy to help, while still giving you the feeling of being completely at home.
The breakfast deserves a special mention. Everything felt fresh, local, and thoughtfully prepared, making it one of those breakfasts you actually look forward to every morning.
The location is another major highlight. The property sits quietly in the hills outside Vicenza, surrounded by peace and nature, yet you are still perfectly positioned to explore the region. Verona is around 40 minutes away, whether you want to catch an opera such as Turandot or Aida at the Arena, see a football match, or simply spend the day in the city. The seaside is also only about an hour and a half away.
The property itself is beautiful. There is convenient parking, air conditioning, a library filled with books, and a gorgeous garden surrounded by walnut, pomegranate, olive, and other trees. It feels less like a hotel and more like staying at a beautiful countryside home that happens to have everything you need.
What stayed with us most, though, was the personal touch. Stefano and Francesca, clearly care about the experience they create, and Eugenio is an honorary host(╹◡╹)
