Welcome to
Farm Holiday Corteforte Fumane di Valpolicella. The farm holiday Agriturismo Corteforte is a bed and breakfast accommodation within a 600-year old fortified farmhouse, itself lying on a prestigious wine estate between Verona and Lake Garda. You’ll also love the simple, rustic yet luxurious accommodation. All doubles, the rooms each have a private bathroom and hairdryer, and every room is furnished differently with antiques, Tv, and a minibar. There is no air conditioning, but you won’t need it, the metre-thick walls keep the rooms cool and fresh. When you head out from the estate you’ll find plenty to explore. Verona is just 15 km away, Lake Garda, meanwhile, is a haven for those who love watersports, or just want to savour the cool breezes wafting down this largest and cleanest of the Italian Lakes. Windsurfing and sailing on the crystal waters, lush banks of olive groves, vineyards and fruit trees … this is an idyllic and tranquil spot. With comfortable vacation accommodation, an excellent restaurant, and the chance to sample and buy fine Valpolicella, Amarone and Recioto wines, this promises a holiday of indulgence and luxury. Agriturismo Corteforte has also a little country house called Olivella, fully modernised self-contained building which can comfortably sleep 4-6, is picturesquely set in olive grove surronded by vines, ovelooking the village of Fumane and its balcony features stunning views of the Lessini mountain range and the surrounding vineyards and countryside. We have 2 doubleroom, 2 bathroom, living and kichen, garden. (Agriturismo Corteforte Fumane di Valpolicella farm holidays).

This was our first trip to Italy and chose the Agriturismo Corteforte since they produced my favorite wine! We arrived and received by Martina that spoke good English and helped guide us through our stay. She also did a casual wine tasting on the back veranda around the olive trees with some others that had already finished and were going back for their favorites….the wines are incredible! The rooms look just like the photos on the Internet. Our view out of our window was the vineyard which is breath taking. There is no humming of bath room fans or air-conditioning…just birds…breeze and oh, occasional notes of Italian conversation between family and workers. It is calming as you come off of the American energy buzz. Quietness. The breakfast is great…it was our first Italian breakfast of a 12 day trip and I would have to say the best capuccino. Many thanks to everyone at this property that made our stay so memorable.

Die Azienda Agricola produziert selbst einen wunderbaren Amarone, den man abends im Restaurant unbedingt probieren sollte. Das essen ist aussergewöhnlich gut, das Restaurant gehört aber nicht zur Azienda. Es gibt vier Zimmer übereinander in einem Turm. alle sind sehr rustikal eingerichtet, haben aber sehr viel Charme und sind sauber. Im Innenhof gibt es einen schönen alten Garten, wo man sich einfach hinlegen kann. Dolce dar Niente mitten in einem Rebberg am Dorfrand. Es ist sehr ruhig, die Zimmer haben Air condition. Freundlicher Service.

We stayed in a beautifully reconstructed 600-year old tower furnished with fine antiques and modern appliances affording breathtaking views of the mountain foothills. The Agriturismo Corteforte vineyards, currently run by Barbara, are longstanding producers of some of the finest red wines in the region. It boasts 8 acres of vines that produce Amarone, Valpolicella and Classico. In addition, the Corteforte olive groves produce very fine extra virgin, cold-stone pressed oils. Upon arrival, we ate dinner at the Enoteca on the grounds. Dinner was served without any menu, with the guests choosing one of two entrees for each course. We start our Italian adventure with zucchini flowers stuffed with goat cheese and a pesto puree, followed by truffle-stuffed raviolis with shaved black truffles, then a sliced duck breast “secondi piatta.” Of course, a bottle of Valpolicella red wine complemented the meal. Wow! What a taste. We explored the old city of Verona the next day, about 13 minutes away from the tower B&B. Verona is Italy’s richest city and world famous for the summer opera events at Arena di Verona. We found café-lined piazzas and labyrinthine shopping facilities featuring all of the world-renowned designers. A favorite tourist stop is Juliet’s balcony, of Shakespeare fame, with a tariff of 6 euros to actually stand in the balcony.

We stayed here on our honeymoon after finding it listed on the Garda Lake site. What a find! It was totally peaceful, located in a small vineyard in a small town with beautiful views. The rooms are rustic yet clean comfortable and very quiet. The best thing of all is the breakfast, which is served from the restaurant that has received Michelin stars in its time. Eating there is an absolute must – for the quality of food and wine it’s outstanding value and totally delicious. Another tip – head up to the roof garden at the top of the tower with a bottle of prosecco at sunset and enjoy a magical experience.
