Property for Sale in Verona, Veneto
The Province of Verona lies in the west of the Veneto, stretching from the eastern shore of Lake Garda across the hills of the Valpolicella and Soave to the plain of the Adige. To the north, the high Lessinia plateau and the slopes of Monte Baldo rise towards Trentino, and to the south the flat farmland reaches the borders of Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna.
The homes listed on this site are villas and apartments at the upper end of the market, most priced above €1 million, in the city of Verona, the Valpolicella and on Lake Garda.
The City of Verona
Verona is built in a loop of the Adige, and its historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Roman Arena, still used for the summer opera festival, stands on Piazza Bra, and the streets around Piazza delle Erbe and Piazza dei Signori are lined with medieval and Renaissance palazzi. The city is also known as the setting of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.
Property in the centro storico is mainly apartments in historic buildings, some with frescoed ceilings, terraces or views over the river. Across the Adige, the hill of San Pietro and the Veronetta district offer quieter streets and views back over the city, while the hills on the northern edge of Verona have villas with gardens.
The Valpolicella
North-west of the city, the Valpolicella is a series of valleys running down from the Lessinia to the Adige, covered with vineyards, cherry orchards and olive groves. It produces some of Italy’s best-known red wines, above all Amarone, made from grapes dried after harvest, as well as Valpolicella and Recioto. Villages such as Fumane, Negrar, with the hamlet of Arbizzano, and San Pietro in Cariano are surrounded by wine estates and historic villas.
Homes here are typically villas and restored rural properties among the vines, many with views towards the city or the lake, and within easy reach of Verona.
Lake Garda’s Eastern Shore
The Verona side of Lake Garda, known as the Riviera degli Olivi, runs from Peschiera del Garda in the south to Malcesine below Monte Baldo in the north. Bardolino gives its name to a light red wine and has a busy lakeside promenade, while Torri del Benaco is a small harbour town with a Scaliger castle. Lazise and Garda are other lakeside towns on this stretch.
Property on the lake ranges from apartments in the old centres to villas in the olive-covered hills behind the shore, often with lake views and pools.
Property and Lifestyle in Verona Province
Verona provides hospitals, a university, international schools and all city services, and the lake towns are busy in summer and quieter in winter. Wine is central to local life, from the Valpolicella and Soave to Bardolino and Custoza, and Verona hosts Vinitaly, one of the largest wine fairs in the world, each spring.
Sailing and windsurfing on Lake Garda, walking on Monte Baldo and the Lessinia, and opera at the Arena are among the attractions for residents. Holiday letting in Verona province requires registration with the region and the comune, so confirm the rules for the exact address before you buy.
Airports and Transport Connections
Verona’s Valerio Catullo airport at Villafranca is close to the city and the lake, with flights to many European destinations. Venice, Bergamo and Milan airports are within reach for a wider choice of flights.
Verona is at the junction of the A4 motorway between Milan and Venice and the A22 running north to the Brenner Pass. Verona Porta Nuova station has high-speed trains to Milan, Venice, Bologna, Florence and Rome, and trains north to Austria and Germany. Peschiera del Garda is on the Milan–Venice railway.
Buying and Renovating Property in Verona Province
Historic apartments in Verona and villas in the Valpolicella may be listed buildings, with heritage controls on facades, windows and gardens. The city centre has a restricted traffic zone, so check parking and vehicle access before buying.
Have a local surveyor (geometra) confirm that the property matches its cadastral and planning records, including any pools, outbuildings or extensions. Around Lake Garda, landscape protection rules limit new building and changes to existing properties, and lakefront homes should be checked for access, shoreline rights and moorings. Vineyard land should be assessed for its condition, its appellation and any existing farming agreements.
From apartments in Verona’s historic centre to villas among the Valpolicella vineyards and on the shores of Lake Garda, the Province of Verona combines city, wine country and lake, with an airport on its doorstep.
