Nestled in the charming town of Dolo, in the heart of Riviera del Brenta, this 18th-century Venetian villa is a testament to the grandeur of Venetian aristocracy.
Commissioned by a noble family from Florence, the estate consists of two buildings: The elegant main villa and the adjoining barchessa, a traditional rural building typically used for agricultural purposes characteristic of Venetian estates. Enclosed within centuries-old walls, the estate is surrounded by a lush 9,400-square-meter park, where a grand tree-lined avenue, antique stone wellheads, and a flourishing orchard take you back in time.
Following a five-year restoration, the villa has been meticulously preserved. It showcases original 18th—and 19th-century features, including Venetian terrazzo flooring, period window fixtures, handcrafted Murano glass chandeliers, and select heirloom furnishings, offering an authentic taste of the past.
The Villa currently greets visitors as a prestigious three-star hotel, with plans to upgrade to four or five stars once the necessary improvements are completed.
Each of the 21 rooms harmonizes classical elegance with contemporary luxury, offering an unparalleled retreat.
The prime location also offers easy access to the historic Venetian villas that dot the banks of the Brenta and the cultural gems of Padua and Venice.
Main features:
- Venetian Villa was constructed around 1750 with a surface of 730 sq. M.
- The Barchessa, also known as the ancillary wing, has a surface of 550 sq. M.
- A private park of 9,400 sq. M. And a parking area for up to 25 vehicles.
- Opportunity to build a pool.
- Original fixtures dating back to the 1700s and 1800s.
- 11 bedrooms with ensuites in the main villa.
- 10 bedrooms with their ensuites in the Barchessa.
- Reception, bar, kitchen with a restaurant, and three salons.
- Secluded privacy, as this property is off the beaten path, remains conveniently positioned for exploring the open-air museums of Venice and Padua.
- Property sold with the license and interiors.
The Riviera del Brenta
A Journey through History, Art, and Nature
Stretching between Venice and Padua, the enchanting Riviera del Brenta is a casket of history, art, and breathtaking landscapes.
During the Serenissima, this area, crossed by the tranquil waters of the Brenta River, was the summer retreat par excellence of Venice’s aristocracy. Between the 15th and 18th centuries, they built the magnificent Venetian Villas, masterpieces designed by legendary architects like Palladio, Scamozzi, and Frigimelica.
Among the Riviera’s most celebrated villas are Villa Pisani in Stra, often referred to as the “Versailles of Venice, with its Tiepolo frescoes and sprawling gardens; Villa Widmannin Mira, a jewel of Venetian Rococo; and Villa Foscari, also known as “La Malcontenta, ” a Palladian marvel. Together, they whisper tales of a golden age, hosting luminaries like Napoleon, Goethe, and d’Annunzio.
The Riviera del Brenta continues to captivate visitors with its timeless charm, offering them a glimpse into the past. River cruises aboard the traditional “Burchiello” retrace the routes of Venetian merchants, while bike trails and nature walks invite leisurely exploration. Artisan workshops and local restaurants offer authentic tastes of tradition.
In conclusion, the Riviera del Brenta is a place where the past and present blend elegance, nature, and culture. Recently, the Mayors of the Riviera del Brenta have joined forces to achieve a shared goal: To have the Riviera del Brenta recognized as a unesco World Heritage Site. If successful, this recognition could lead to increased tourism and attract more investments, similar to the Prosecco Hills, which were added to the World Heritage List in 2019, and the Dolomites, which received the designation in 2009.
