La Barchessa di Villa Pisani

Lovely peaceful quiet hotel in the country with welcoming and professional staff. We stayed one night in two rooms, family of four, and enjoyed the delicious meal at Michelin restaurant (grateful the manager of the hotel to accommodated weary travelers last minute for that reservation). The wine pairings suggested were superb, and I'm picky about my wine! The ambience is really special, especially in the early morning for breakfast outside with a view to the Villa, you can hear the crickets and owls around you while you eat.. A little tip about the Villa; make sure to go to view from the backside loggia (to see from the canal which used to be functional and navigable for the Pisani brothers when Palladio first built). We really enjoyed seeing the Villa without anyone else there, you could really feel the elegance, and hominess of it now, and the modern meeting the classical in a way the Italians know how to do effortlessly. We enjoyed countryside and exploring Euganean Hills and Arqua Petrarca nearby after the heat in Verona and Padua, was a nice break from that. We would recommend highly for a one night or even as a base for a longer dip into the Veneto region since it's nicely situated near the highway, but quiet!

Una dimora bellissima, accoglienza calorosa e professionale. Inaspettata la casa privata con le sue collezioni d’arte. Ambiente intimo all’interno dell’osteria.
