Anima Mundi
Soul of the world · tribal notes
Minimal in structure and poetic in detail: a room infused with spicy, earthy notes that tell of the richness of distant cultures and places.
Your fragrant gift: orange & cinnamon
Bussolengo · Verona · Italy
Three lovingly designed rooms in an 18th-century Venetian estate, with pool and blooming garden – between Verona, Valpolicella and Lake Garda.
Welcome
Behind old stone walls opens the courtyard of Corte Mastella – an 18th-century Venetian country estate, nestled in the Adige nature park among peach orchards, olive groves and the vineyards of Valpolicella.
Where hay bales were once stored in the barchessa, a small relais full of character welcomes you today: found and rescued objects meet selected design, and each of the three rooms tells its own story. Verona and Lake Garda are only minutes away – yet the calm of the garden stays all yours.
A warm welcome – Elena & Otto, the house dog 🐾
The Rooms
Each room of Corte Mastella has a character of its own – and, following the idea of Nasoterapia, welcomes you with a fragrant gift that underlines its mood.
Soul of the world · tribal notes
Minimal in structure and poetic in detail: a room infused with spicy, earthy notes that tell of the richness of distant cultures and places.
Your fragrant gift: orange & cinnamon
Play of colours · the eighties
A small space of colour full of nods to the legendary eighties – stimulating, playful and spiced with a touch of sweet nostalgia.
Your fragrant gift: candy floss
Romance · white lace
Romantic and inviting: the elegance of white lace, refined details and an admirable play of light and mirrors.
Your fragrant gift: flax blossom
In every room: double bed and private bathroom, fragrant pure-cotton bed linen, cosy hypoallergenic duvets, memory-foam pillows, soft towels, terry slippers and fine toiletries. All rooms are non-smoking – small smoking areas are available in the garden.
Garden & Pool
The garden wraps the house like a green shelter: a lawn for lounging under the old willow, flowering beds, the pool with a view of the hills – and in the evening a glass of wine in the day's last light.
Open, weather permitting, from 15 May to the end of September, with sun loungers and a shaded lounge.
Two induction hobs, dishwasher, microwave, coffee machine, fridge and ice maker.
Furnished terrace in the courtyard and a lawn in the garden – for breakfast, reading and doing nothing at all.
Three covered parking spaces right in the estate's garden, free for guests.
You share the garden and pool with the host family – which keeps the Corte a lived-in home rather than an anonymous hotel.
Rates
Corte Mastella is rented as a whole estate: all three rooms, the guest kitchen, terrace and garden – for up to six guests who want the place entirely to themselves.
Three double rooms (Anima Mundi, Anima d'Autore, Anima Nobile), each with private bathroom – plus guest kitchen, furnished terrace and three covered parking spaces.

Explore the region
The Corte sits in the countryside – yet right in the middle of things: Verona, Lake Garda and the Valpolicella wine route are all just a short drive away.
A few minutes by car
The city of Romeo and Juliet: Piazza delle Erbe, Roman lanes – and on summer evenings open-air opera in the Arena di Verona.
A few minutes by car
Italy's largest lake with the shore towns of Lazise, Bardolino and Garda: swimming, cycling, gelato on the promenade – a perfect day trip.
Right on the doorstep
Vineyards, olive groves and peach orchards at the foot of the hills: walks in the Adige nature park, wineries with Amarone tastings – pleasure at a slow pace.
