Agriturismo Barchessa

Top choice in The Veneto


This elegant neoclassical villa, renovated by architect-owner Graziano, sits in the shadow of the grand Villa Contarini degli Scrigni, to which it was once attached. It shares the same sober elegance and now houses four delightful apartments each with a kitchen/living room. They are beautifully finished and furnished sparely with quality antiques. Beds can be provided for children.
