Has anyone stayed at Villa dei Gelsi in Verona?

We'll be in Verona for a few days in early Oct. and staying at Relais Villa dei Gelsi. The property is outside the city center and I'm wondering if anyone has stayed here and has information about the walk to/from the city center...how long, pleasant or lots of traffic? Or if the hotel offers reliable shuttle service. Yes, I've contacted the hotel and haven't heard from them yet, but I also wanted input from someone who actually stayed there. Any info appreciated. Thank you!

It looks wonderful.
However, it's location is in the hills above Verona - the walk down is probably about 30 mins but you'd need a taxi back.
We didn't go half way up, and it was too much.
Have a look at the guest reviews on Booking.com, sorting by "location".

Thank you, Lin. I finally heard back from the hotel and they do offer two taxi rides per day, so that should be just fine. They schedule it through a taxi company…hopefully there won’t be too many hiccups. I’ll also look at the reviews on Bookings under the “location” section specifically. Many thanks!
