Homes with History: Romantic Villa in Verona, Italy

Made famous as the setting of Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet, Verona is an Italian city that exudes history and romance. Naturally, this Renaissance-era villa features plenty of both, as its remarkable gardens and ruins give way to an estate built in the 1500s. As they explore, guests will also see a chapel, grand hall and courtyard.

Traditional Nymphaeum in the Garden

To the left of the circular drive, a nymphaeum hides a Gentilitiaò chapel dedicated to Saint Nicholas of Tolentino. The feature, which was a stone monument consecrated to the nymphs in ancient Greece and Rome, is at home in the garden.
