Villa Veneta

You enter through the main gate into a big park and are greeted by the facade of the villa. It’s set across three main floors, plus a basement, an attic and a few terraces. Behind the villa is a discreet patio with a fantastic barbecue and the swimming pool, as well as the lake. There are a total of 5 bedrooms for 10 people, and one bunk room for up to 4 children.


On the ground floor is a large kitchen, the main ballroom and the music room with a Steinway & Sons piano. It’s also here that you’ll find the winter garden, which is inside the house but feels like you are in the middle of the park. There's a TV room with a 65” HD screen and a large dining room that can seat more than 20 people. 


On the first floor, you’ll find a salon where you can read or listen to music and two bedrooms. One is directly connected to the master bathroom and the other has exclusive use of a separate bathroom.

The upper floor is an independent apartment with its own entrance, Provence-style kitchen and a terrazzo where you can enjoy elevated views across the park. The apartment features two double bedrooms and another one with bunk beds for children, as well as stairs that lead to an attic romantic double bedroom with an independent bathroom. 

Layout: Four floors with 1 big living room, 1 ballroom, 2 studios, a winter garden, music room with Steinway & Sons tail piano, 2 fully equipped kitchens, an independent apartment, 3 terraces and an attic, 4 bathrooms and a service toilet, plus basement and laundry.

We have a 13x4-metre swimming pool (that’s not heated) and there are sun loungers, a big umbrella and a patio with a large round table where you can dine alfresco. Aside from playing mini-football, there are also bicycles for guests to borrow and a small boat that you can use to row and fish on the spring-fed lake. It’s incredibly clean but a chilly 13-degrees Celsius throughout the year! There’s also a Tesla charger and covered parking for five vehicles, as well as complimentary Wi-Fi and a laser printer.

On request, we can organise everything from a personal chef to a masseuse and manicurist or a private chauffeur. Guided tours can be organised into Venice or the surrounding region and security surveillance of the property is also possible, although it’s not necessary. 

I’d highly recommend visiting some of the small towns nearby, such as Asolo and Possagno where Antonio Canova created many of his marble works. If you are into architecture, you can visit the Brion Sanctuary, which was designed by Carlo Scarpa and attracts architecture students from across the globe. Also not to miss is the Villa di Maser, considered one of the world’s best examples of a Palladian-style villa. 


We have very good connections with some of the region’s top prosecco producers — Bisol and Bortolomiol — and can organise tastings on request. I’d particularly recommend this if you are visiting in September or October during the harvest, which is such a great experience. The regional cuisine is also highly unique, combining seafood from the Adriatic Sea with products grown in the Veneto region. Not to miss dishes include polenta and baccala.

Venice is an easy day trip from Treviso and I’d recommend a cruise on the Venice Lagoon to visit the vegetable gardens of Sant’Erasmo and the Orto di Venezia winery. We also have a friend who is a Michelin-star chef at Caffè Quadri overlooking Saint Mark’s Square, so we can make reservations for guests there if you’re after a stylish lunch or dinner. 

In the summer months, you can easily spend a day at the beach of Lido di Venezia or coincide your visit with the film festival in September.
