Delo qualifies as an agriturismo, but that description will not adequately prepare guests or website visitors for its comforts and charm. If it were French, it would be a charming relais; if English, a design country house; in the Italian lexicon and for graduates of Tuscany or Umbria, it is a tenuta, where buildings and land together form an estate.

However, Tenuta Delo provides a gentler experience than busier estates to the south: it is unspoilt and authentic, rich of energy; an intimate and primordial contact with nature in a very ancient historical site ... An antidote to life in the fast lane, only few minutes from fine Verona city ... the time and space to find yourself ... a perfect expression of the slow life.

The slow life at Tenuta Delo involves more than peace and quiet, and comfort and charme. Here it harvests a rich cultural bounty which is the basis of slow life: the rural heritage of ancient Veneti and the Roman sites; Palladio’s original villas; the literary trails of Catullus and Dante, Shakespeare and Goethe; the simple joys of its wine and food festivals: all are within a slow drive of this estate.

Here in the gentle Veronese hills, where our family invites its guests to share these fruits of slow life: not only fruits of the earth, but of the heart and mind and community; fruits of history and architecture, literature and land and family. And, most important, the time and space to find harmony together.

Our Brand Story ... the story of our family and of Tenuta Delo ... the story of the gentle ancient Veneti and the people who have been harvesting these fruits for centuries and millennia even ... the fruits of one man's labours that changed the course of Western architecture: only a short drive, to get the rich yeld of Andrea Palladio's villas ... the origins of Vanbrugh's Blenheim and Jefferson's Monticello ... the influence on Washington's Capitol ...  

And the fascinating origin of the name Delo ... the millenial history of this ancient Celtic and Roman sacred area which owes its actual name to the God Apollo Delio.
