The guesthouse offers its guests a cosy breakfast room and its six bedrooms, all of which unique for its original and suggestive personality reflect all the particular care and passion that was put into choosing the right fabrics and furnishings by the house owners. The furniture was carefully selected from antique markets and dealers and different colours were used for each room in order to create a warm and cosy atmosphere, while still including all the comforts such as air conditioning, LCD TV, PC outlet, safe and drinks-fridge. All the spacious ensuite bathrooms have hairdryer and magnifier mirror. From the windows you can admire a wonderful view of the courtyard, a vigorous park of an old ,antique villa and the suggestive and relaxing flowing of the Brenta River, giving you a real sense of peace and rest. Bikes available.

Where we are located: The Interstate 11 connects Venice (antique capital of the Serenissima) to Padua, historical university town situated along the Brenta River. Mira, on the Brenta Riviera, equal distance from Padua to Venice , is the ideal departing base for numerous excursions that this rich territory offers. You can reach Venice in 15 minutes by bus, or by train from the nearby Mira – Mirano railway station only 2 km. from the Alcova del Doge. Only a few kilometres from us, you can visit the famous Venetian Villas on the Brenta Riverside, easily reachable by bike or you may go on one of the many organized river- boat tours. Verona, Venice , the spectacular Po Delta, the Dolomite Mountains , the vast beaches of the Adriatic Riviera, the Thermal Baths and the Prosecco wine Road are only an hour away.THE BRENTA RIVIERAThe Brenta Riviera is set on the banks of the river that flows from Padua to the Venice Lagoon. Populated as early as the 5th Century A.D. , its importance grew in 1400 when Venice extended its dominion to all of the Veneto interland. The Venetian Patricians bought large estates on the Brenta Riverside and fascinated by the beauty of its landscapes it was turned into a holiday location. From 1500 to 1700 they built imposing villas such as the Foscari Villa in Malcontenta, the Valmarana and Widmann Villas in Mira and the Pisani Villa in Strà , a real Ducal Palace on the mainland, where you can find its well-known maze of renaissance style hedges. However, the main attraction is the river with its calm waters that flow from bend to bend , waiting to be sailed on in order to offer the same lapses that Goldoni, Casanova, Goethe and D’Annunzio experienced. As the relationship between Padua and Venice intensified in the 1400’s , boats became the main mean of transportation used at that time. A regular boat service was set up along the Brenta Riviera in 1700. Since the so called Padua Boat was considered slow and of low- quality, a new barge was introduced called the “ Burchiello “ mean of transportation used by the best companies that later became customary. Nowadays, the Brenta Riviera means visits inside antique Villas, unique nature walks, relaxing river cruises and excellent seafood cuisine inspired by Venetian tradition.
