About this villa rental
Villa Sogara: A Historic Retreat in the Heart of Valpolicella
Escape to the enchanting green hills of Valpolicella, just 10 km from Verona, and discover Villa Sogara, a stunning 15th-century villa steeped in history. Once graced by the presence of the Emperor of Austria in 1857, this meticulously restored villa, built upon Roman ruins, offers a luxurious and tranquil retreat.
Villa Sogara boasts six bedrooms, four bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, a dining room, a library, a music room (complete with a piano), multiple living rooms, and inviting outdoor relaxation areas. A brand-new swimming pool and terraced sunbathing patio overlook 10 hectares (25 acres) of picturesque vineyards and orchards, creating an idyllic setting for relaxation and exploration.
Experience the Best of Veneto:
This prime location is the perfect base for discovering the wonders of the Veneto region. Explore historic cities like Venice, Vicenza, and Padova, or venture to the shores of Lake Garda. Immerse yourself in the region's rich culinary traditions and world-renowned wines. Verona itself, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the setting for Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, offers a wealth of artistic treasures, including the Arena, Castelvecchio Museum, and the Natural History Museum. Attend one of Verona's many international fairs, such as Vinitaly, Fieracavalli, or Marmomacc, or experience the magic of the Opera Festival in the Arena.
A Culinary Haven:
Enhance your stay with pre-arranged cooking classes, wine experiences, and gourmet meals served at the villa—no need to drive! Don't miss the opportunity to savor the classic Risotto Sogara, a culinary masterpiece crafted with Villa-grown Lilium wine and accented with Pecorino with truffles.

Tomasso and Ela are fabulous hosts! We were able to reach them immediately with any questions and their response was immediate. Ela is a sensational cook! I highly recommend a cooking class with Ela and meals prepared by her. Beautiful area of the country!

Words cannot express how fabulous our stay was at Villa Sogora! So much space, so historic and the grounds were out of this world! Having a private pool on site took the experience to another level. We had 10 family members flying in from different countries and the check-in was as easy as could be! We arranged for a private wine, olive oil, local food tasting at the villa one day, a cooking class on another and finally a home cooked meal to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary with our entire family. Tommaso and Ella are simply amazing hosts! Besides teaching us about wine (the wine and olive oil made at the estate were excellent and we are so looking forward to receiving the BIG shipment of what we ordered!), cooking and feeding us an unbelievable multi-course dinner, they are truly wonderful people. They went over and above what you'd wish for, especially with no one in our group knowing the area. They connected us with a car service (excellent!), had groceries waiting for us, arranged with a local vendor to have breakfast set up on our first morning and brought over a compression bandage when one daughter sprained her ankle! If we could rate this experience higher, we would!

A stunning villa set in its own vineyard, a short hop from Verona.The owners [Thommaso and Ela] were exceptionally kind, welcoming and helpful.All queries were answered in advance. check-in was simple and we even got a guided tour of the property and a very nice welcome gift - would recommend the "house" red and champagne - both excellent.The villa was huge and contained wonderful furniture and artefacts which really fitted well. The rooms are huge - every one had a writing desk - a nice touch.We were a group of ten friends and we all enjoyed it immensely.Everyone found their own spot - be it by the pool , on the terrace, or in one of the many little rooms to read, snooze, chat and enjoy.Verona, Venice, Lake Garda, Soave and many more within easy reach.We had a great time and would like to thank Tommaso and Ela for being such kind hosts.Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic house, all family loves it. Really nice hosts and amazing food. The house was all we had hoped for, bedrooms, kitchen and the pool was our favorites. We loved dining at the terasse and spend a lot of time in the pool area.
Ella and Tomasso did all the could to make this an amazing week for us, they did all they could to match our needs. Dinners and cooking class was fantastic, we just loved Ellas food. We would love to com back some day.
