Superior First Class Historical Hotel. (exterior) The hotel, and historic residence, is a complex of 3 villas, surrounded by beautiful gardens. The style is quite original for Venice since it is reminiscent of Northern Europe with its countryside villa, white painted walls, dark wooden balconies and shutters. The whole is immersed in a countryside atmosphere with a sweet smell of flowers and joyous singing of birds together with the relaxing flow of fountains. (lobby) The Lobby is small and very charming with some seats and antiques. It leads to a secluded writing room, to the gardens, and to the restaurant. (general) This is a fantastic opportunity for those who want to enjoy the beauties of Venice away from the crowd and the noise of the tourist city. The hotel offers a great chance for relaxing in a natural environment and for dining caressed by the breeze of the Adriatic Sea, for sunbathing, and playing tennis. Highly recommended.
