Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The Brenta canal flows past the front gates, where regional buses head straight into Venice fifteen kilometres away.
The rooms
Nineteen rooms and suites are styled in classic Venetian fashion with antique furnishings, Rubelli silks, and original fireplaces.
At the table
Aperitifs and Veneto wines are poured in the historic parlours or outside at clothed tables along the terrace.
How it began
The seventeenth-century estate once belonged to the noble Contarini family before the Dal Corso family restored it.
