This enchanting property is an ideal location for holidays, welcoming and familiar and at the same time elegant and equipped with all sorts of comforts immersed in nature and greenery, but within a stroll of splendid, important cities such as Venice, Padua and Treviso and not far from Cortina d’Ampezzo and the Dolomites, Lake Garda and the beaches of the Adriatic coast.

All the rooms are very spacious and bright, furnished with taste, sobriety and refinement and equipped with every comfort. The elegant restaurant has an elegant interior with excellent coffee bar where the combination of old and new creates a charming atmosphere, offering quality dishes, traditional cuisine with a variety of organically grown food.

Authentic Italian charm truly comes to life with a stay at the four‑star Villa Patriarca Hotel. A historical property set amongst lush verdant gardens, the hotel is in a prime position to enjoy the city of Venice to the fullest while also being surrounded by utter tranquillity for a dose of relaxation amongst the hustle and bustle. The villa‑style building dates back to the 18th century, and is located in Mirano, which is roughly a 30‑minute drive from Venice city centre, and is known as “the garden of Venice” due to the stunning nature that surrounds it. Mirano city centre can be reached within a 10‑minute walk while there are excellent transport links surrounding the hotel including bus stops and a complimentary shuttle service to two major train stations.

Villa Patriarca Hotel has unique rooms that are spacious, air conditioned and decorated in a classic Venetian style. The gardens are one of the hotel’s main features, and in the back garden guests will find the event hall, the swimming pool with a bar, and two football fields complete with changing rooms. The hotel also has an on‑site restaurant that operates every day, offering guests breakfast in the morning and an authentic Italian menu in the evening with a focus on fresh seafood and homemade pasta.

The 4-star Villa Patriarca Hotel, which dates from the 1700s, features traditional Venetian décor and intimate gardens.

It is a great base from which to explore Venice and the alluring countryside of the Veneto. The hotel has a seasonal** outdoor swimming pool with a whirlpool, and a restaurant that offers pool-side service.

Rooms have air conditioning, a mini bar, a TV with satellite channels and free Wi-Fi. The hotel is a pet-friendly property and has two adjoining sections: the historic wing*** and a modern extension, where the Superior Rooms are located.

Villa Patriarca Hotel is a 15-minute walk away from Mirano’s main square, Piazza Martiri della Libertà, where you’ll find an array of local cafés, shops, restaurants and museums.

We suggest you exploring Mirano’s hidden gems such as the Villa Belvedere Park, with its lush landscaped gardens and castle, or take a stroll along the pedestrian and cycle paths on the banks of the River Muson.

Venice can be reached in less than 40 minutes by public transport — there is a bus stop 200 metres from the hotel, and one return ticket is included in the deal — or in approximately 25 minutes by car.

Mirano is also a great base from which to explore the Riviera del Brenta, where Venetian aristocrats built impressive holiday homes and palaces. There is a cycle path along the river.

Padua, 30 minutes’ drive from the hotel, is renowned for its extraordinary frescos and botanical gardens, while Treviso, 35 minutes’ drive away, has medieval city walls, winding canals and cobbled streets — both offer an insight into authentic Veneto life.
