THE CHALLENGE REOPENING AND EVENTS

The restaurant reopens but private celebrations also return to Villa De Winckels. The splendid residence in Marcemigo di Tregnano (VR) was the first in Tregnago, in the Val d'Illasi, to be authorized to host private outdoor events in the large park with old trees. “The first scheduled appointment will be at the beginning of July but as of May 1st we have been enabled to welcome this type of appointment. “Affirms Massimo Merzari, owner together with his family. Good news for those who, in this period, had to give up celebrating special moments and for all those who wish to spend a few hours in the open air after the long lockdown.

“The first thing we did was to secure our employees and ensure that guests comply with all measures to ensure health and well-being. We are very lucky, we are in the Val d'Illasi, the splendid Amarone area, and our home, which was a monastery in the 12th century , is surrounded by a garden of centuries-old trees that allows us to respect the distances between people . "

As for the economic situation, he comments “ Foreign presences are currently canceled but we hope that the second part of the summer will allow us to recover . "

The Hotel Villa de Winckels is located in Marcemigo di Tregnano (Verona), between the hills of the Val D'Illasi, a splendid area of Amarone and Valpolicella. Renovated in the nineties, in 1100 it was a small monastery then enlarged between 1300 and 1400, but also a medieval tower remained from an earlier fort. The house was restored in the seventeenth century by the Austrian general De Winckels. In addition to a garden with a park of secular trees, the Villa has an original 12th century cellar, the "Cantina del Generale", open for private tastings and dinners. The restaurant, on the other hand, which consists of suggestive rooms, including the Venice room with an enchanting fresco from the early 1900s, offers traditional Venetian cuisine, revisiting and combining them with the typical products of Lessinia. Villa de Winckels has obtained the Silver Crown as a period residence and is included in the list of Venetian Villas of the Veneto Region, offers the opportunity to stay in the three-star hotel with ten rooms in country chic style.
