LOCATION

Located only 40 minutes from Venice on the Friuli-Veneto border, the villa was an old monastery dating back to the 11th century and turned into a superb country estate at the beginning of 1800. Today, after an accurate restoration aimed at maintaining, as far as possible, everything unaltered, it has become an elegant 4**** hotel with a gourmet restaurant and a relaxing piano bar. The villa is surrounded by 10 acres of park with landscaped lawns and gardens. Facilities include a large swimming pool surrounded by century-old trees, a tennis court, a jogging track, a small fitness centre. The elegant public rooms abound with antiques and fresh flowers. Rooms and suites, all different from each other, are furnished with typical local antiques and soft colours inspiring a suggestive and particular atmosphere. All rooms have air conditioning, satellite TV, stereo, mini-bar and safe. Some have balconies and all have big windows offering wonderful views on the park. The restaurant at the villa is outstanding and clients can dine indoors or out during the mildest seasons. The chef has an impressive resume while the sommelier is one of the best (he is certainly one of the nicest) in Italy.

COOKING SCHOOL
Cooking classes take place in the villa's well-equipped kitchen and are taught by the experienced restaurant chef. Participants will learn how to prepare refined menus for special occasions and local recipes for simpler meals. All lessons are hands-on and last approximately 2 hours.
