Welcome to the place you’ve always hoped existed
An escape from the rush, a world of slow living encapsulated into your entire experience. A place that revitalises all of your senses.
Welcome to Magari Estates
A story centuries in the making.
Tucked within the storied walls of an historic courtyard in the heart of Valpolicella and Soave wine country, Magari Estates is not simply a boutique hotel. It is a living expression of heritage crafted by the Fasoli and Pellegrino families, and shaped by a desire to share the beauty, honesty, and rhythm of Italian life.
Here the days unfold gently. Here you don’t just visit, you become.
Your place to be, not just stay
A soulful base between the great cities of the north.
Magari Estates is surrounded by landmark locations, with Verona just to the west, Venice to the east and Lake Garda and the Dolomites to the north. Exploring these revered landscapes is a casual day trip away. This is your home while you explore and when you return each evening, it welcomes you like one.
The story of the land,
told in every glass
This region has long been defined by its vines. Amarone. Valpolicella. Soave. Names that roll off the tongue like verses in a love song. At Magari Estates, the wine is not an amenity, it is an inheritance.
Guided by those who tend these hills, guests are welcomed into intimate cellar tastings and vineyard walks that trace the journey from grape to glass.
Bold reds, elegant whites and the unmistakable terroir of a place that gives everything it has to the craft. A toast not just to Verona, but to the quiet, exquisite effort behind every bottle.
A sanctuary of stillness,
steeped in soul
Beneath vaulted ceilings and stone walls that once held the quiet of centuries past, a new kind of calm awaits. Here, rituals of renewal take their time – restorative massages, luminous facials, and gentle steam that wraps around you like silk.
Far from the rhythm of the world, Magari’s wellness experience draws from both the ancient and the modern, where design soothes the eye and every touch speaks to the body’s deeper needs.
A place not simply to pause, but to return to yourself. In solitude. In softness. In silence.
A gateway to the unseen
Curated experiences, the Italian way.
At Magari, we believe the most treasured moments are never found in guidebooks. That’s why our local hosts do more than recommend; they reveal. From private cellar tastings in ancient vaults to invitations into family kitchens, from market mornings to mountaintop lunches, this is Italy, seen through the eyes of those who know and love it best.
You won’t just see the region. You’ll feel part of it.

an immersion
