Ludwig House, a rebel luxury brand in the hills of Valpolicella, is just 20 minutes by car from Verona.
Palladio’s villas are protected by UNESCO
Valpolicella is renowned worldwide for its wine production and picturesque green hills. It is the region where the architect Andrea Palladio constructed some of his magnificent villas in the mid-16th century, which have been recognized as part of UNESCO's heritage since the mid-1990s. One of Palladio's villa designs, which now houses Ludwig House, is nested in the Hills of Valpolicella in San Pietro in Cariano, just a 20-minute drive from Verona.
Six suites and a swimming pool
The villa's name pays homage to Count Lodovico di San Bonifacio, the property's owner, and also references the famous Ludwig of Bavaria. “I enjoy presenting guests with something different,” says Philippe Gonzalez, director of Ludwig House. With a background in oriental languages and experience managing hotels in Italy and abroad, Gonzalez guides guests through the villa's six suites, which are elegant, spacious, and also suitable for families. There is also a swimming pool in the park.
Promoting the concept of rebel luxury
From Ludwig House guests can embark on e-bike excursions to explore the region and visit historic wineries, such as the beautiful Ugolini estates.
“In Veneto, there are thousands of villas, and we aim to renovate more properties, ours is a concept of rebel luxury.”
