Discover Bussolengo: Hotels for Your Stay

Bussolengo sits on a plateau above the course of the Adige River. The gently rolling surroundings are characterised by peach orchards and vineyards, often interspersed with olive and cypress groves. The river setting and cultivated agricultural landscape provide a distinctive backdrop for your stay.

Getting to Bussolengo

There are two motorway routes to Bussolengo. On the A4, take the Sommacampagna exit. At the roundabout, take the third exit towards Bussolengo; from there, it is about 6 kilometres. The second route described follows the A22 to the Verona Nord exit, then the ring road towards Bussolengo. It is about 4 kilometres to the relevant exit.

If you travel by train, Verona Porta Nuova railway station is about 12 kilometres from Bussolengo. Visitors can continue from outside the station by bus or taxi. This gives you a choice of two motorway access routes or a rail connection with the option of continuing from the station.

History and churches

The oldest archaeologically documented settlement in the Bussolengo area dates back to the Middle Bronze Age, approximately 3,500 years ago. The town’s historical landmarks include churches, a cloister and buildings from various periods.

The Chiesa di San Salvar is traditionally regarded as Bussolengo’s oldest pieve and first parish church. Inside the church is a square stele, about one metre high, bearing a Roman inscription. At the Chiesa di San Valentino, two fresco cycles from the first half of the 15th century tell stories of Saint Valentine. The two churches thus offer different artistic points of interest: a Roman inscription at San Salvar and painted stories of the saint at San Valentino.

Villa Spinola dates from the 15th century and stands on a hill overlooking the valleys and mountains of Valpolicella. There is no admission charge to the villa; opening hours are announced for events or provided on request by the municipal offices. This information may be helpful when planning a visit.

Frescoes and architecture

The Chiostro Francescano is a 16th-century cloister that belonged to a Franciscan monastery complex. It is one of the few surviving examples of monastic architecture in the Verona area. Its 45 lunettes, decorated with frescoes, depict the life and miracles of Saint Francis. Here, architecture and imagery go hand in hand: the cloister is both an example of monastic architecture and an extensive cycle of religious scenes.

The Chiesa di San Rocco also preserves an important collection: more than 30 fresco panels illustrate a phase of Veronese painting from the late 15th century to the first decades of the 16th century. At the entrance to the town from the direction of Verona, you will also find the Capitello De le Quatro Gambe, a Roman artefact whose type is not specified.

Another architectural highlight is the Centrale Idroelettrica di Bussolengo, an industrial building dating from the 1940s. As part of the Pagus Pictus project, a guided educational tour of the operating centre is available by advance reservation only.

Nature and seasonal events

Parco Natura Viva is a zoological park in a natural setting, where endangered species are preserved and protected. Visitors can walk through habitats in the green oak forest and discover 1,500 animals from 200 species. The park combines nature experiences with species conservation; the woodland setting and variety of animals shape the visit.

Events also bring a seasonal dimension to travel planning. The Fiera di San Valentino returned in 2026 for its 315th edition, held from 12 to 16 February. The season for Villaggio di Natale Flover was scheduled to run from 7 November 2026 to 6 January 2027. Check the dates before your trip. The planned outdoor area includes, among other attractions, an ice-skating rink, the Flover Express train, rides for children, Santa’s house and a large Christmas tree.
