Refined country house near Venice with large park

Farmhouse located on the Brenta Riviera, in a strategic point between the art cities of Venice, Padua and Treviso.
Comfortable and well-kept farmhouse surrounded by a 3000 m2 park.
Ideal for large groups.
High quality interiors and exteriors: a perfect mix between Venetian & Tuscan style. Terracotta floors and oak wood. Furniture in solid oak, cherry and walnut wood. Bathrooms in precious glass mosaic.
Free Wifi, fenced park with parking.

Each3 bedrooms on the first floor has air conditioning, the bedroom on the ground floor has a fan.

The best way to get around is the car.
Nearby there are public transport links to the cities of Venice or Padua.
Mira-Mirano train station at 4.5 km, bus station at 1 km.
We are in the countryside but the towns of Dolo and Mira are very close to us.
Our guests often enjoy jogging or simple walks in the surroundings.
An oasis of peace near Venice, but far from the bustle of the city.

Dolo is a historic village with a Monumental Squero and an ancient mill that is still working today.

Since 1 May 1922 Padua has been a UNESCO World Heritage city.
Padua boasts three thousand years of history, a city of great historical and artistic value with a medieval soul. Here are some of the many monuments/squares to visit:
- the Scrovegni Chapel painted by Giotto,
- the Palace of Reason,
- the Basilica of Sant'Antonio,
- the Botanical Garden, Unesco heritage. The oldest Botanical Garden in Europe.
- the large Prato della Valle square,
- but much more....
Not far away you will find the largest thermal center in all of Europe: the Euganean Spas on the Euganean Hills ( Unesco Heritage).

Numerous cycle-tourist routes pass through our area:
- Aida route, (Bicitalia 20) which joins the Moncenisio to Slovenia. We are on the route a few km from Venice after Padua.
- Lake Garda-Venice1 route (Bicitalia 20): regional itinerary that starts from Bolzano and the last stage is in Dolo.
- Venice country bike tour route: from Dolo to Fusina, along the Brenta Riviera.

We are also on the Camino di Sant'Antonio: one of the most fascinating paths to walk or cycle!
The main itinerary follows in the footsteps of the journey made by Sant'Antonio starting from the locality of Camposampiero at the gates of Padua.
Camposampiero stopped the last days of his life before arriving in Padua where he perished.
The alternative route is the one that starts from Venice in a scenario that follows the Brenta river up to Padua, and then continues up to the Sanctuary of La Verna in Tuscany. One of the scheduled stages is Dolo.

Lovely place
We rented this place to have our time away from busy Venice but close enough to go back and forth. We also visited Padua and enjoyed it. Our last day we made easy lunch and had lunch in the backyard and still walk to the restaurant and had a really nice dinner. Host was fantastic. Nice neighborhood.

A lovely little place in Mira
This property is just lovely. We were welcomed by Dario at the gate and his wonderful hospitality continued until we left. We were impacted by a nationwide train strike and Dario went above and beyond to help us get into Venice nonetheless. The property was clean, comfortable and well equipped - perfect for our group of 13. Very convenient access to train and bus facilities into Venice. Thanks so much to our host… hopefully we’ll come back again soon.

A Wonderful Retreat Between Venice and Padua
Located in the quiet rural middle space between bustling Venice and historic Padua, this secluded retreat is a gem for exploring the area, with many delightful sights and restaurants to enjoy within a very short drive as well. We wanted to see both Venice and Padua but did not want to stay in either place, so this mid-point spot was ideal, and proved to be the perfect spot for us. The host was wonderful. Excellent communication. All the amenities available and a very suitable place for myself and three adult children to say. Each of the 4 bedrooms had its own en suite full bath. This property has been very well taken care of, has all the modern appurtenances, but also is decorated in a very charming way. Comfortable and serene, we would stay here again if we wander back to northern Italy. Brava!

Great Host
The property is everything the listing says, it slept 11 members of my family very comfortably. So many bathrooms it was easy for us all to get ready for the day. Beautiful country setting. The home owners were very accommodating. My family thanked me multiple times for booking this home. My only regret was that we didn’t really get to take advantage of the yard, or spend much time in this beautiful house and we didn’t get to spend anytime conversing with the host because we had a very busy schedule planned. Highly recommend staying here.

Beautiful Home! Great hosts!
Wow wow wow! This is a beautiful place to stay on the countryside not too far from the Venice main square. A short walk to the bus station will take you there. The hosts Dario and his wife live in the house next door and are very accommodating. They will take you to the market or bus by request for a fee, but definitely worth it if needed. They answer any questions you have phone in a timely matter. They left welcome gifts for us. Dario met the taxi on the road by bike to guide us to the house. This is a great place for a big family! We fit 10 people comfortably.

The icing on the cake
Dario and Cristiana's villa was the perfect place for us. They were were the perfect host and hostess. We were a party of eight from Ontario Canada. Dario and Cristiana picked us up at the train station in Mira which was a short 15 minute train ride out of Venice, and transported all of us and our luggage to their villa about 15 minutes away. The villa is absolutely beautiful situated in the countryside with gorgeous gardens and lots of space to relax. As one of our group put it "it was the icing , whipped cream and the cherry on top" finale of our 12 day vacation. If you have an opportunity or the time Dario is a fabulous chef and cooked us our dinner the last evening we were there. The best Tiramisu any of us have had. Five stars does not seem to be enough if there were 10 stars it would be tops

Extremely well maintained, beautiful country yard, wonderful accommodations, friendly managers
Christina and Dario are wonderful hosts! They helped us with understanding Venice, places to eat, and what to do. They were gracious and were totally fine to work with us when we needed to leave our luggage for a few hours after check out. We loved it here as a group and would use this home again if we travel here again. Each room had their own bathroom and privacy. Would be excellent for children and families. Highly recommended!!

Exactly as advertised- sophisticated county house.
Dario did a lot of the work on the restoration of their home (maybe all of it) and it was beautiful craftsmanship. The country house was very comfortable for our family group of fifteen-grandparents, parents and children. Three of the four large bedrooms could accommodate four persons and the fourth bedroom was a comfortable king sized bed which slept two. The woodwork inside the house was lovely and added to the warmth. Cristiana made us feel so welcome and was a ray of sunshine. She served the wonderful meal that Dario prepared which was a highlight for us to be able to remain comfortably at home after a day of sightseeing in Venice. The yard and garden were lovely and we would certainly return in warmer weather to enjoy more of the outdoor surroundings. The town of Dolo was charming and fun to see. We had gelato in town and a very good meal. Thank you for your kindness and hospitality. Our whole family hopes to see you again in the future! Pat Franks and Family

Beautiful home in a beautiful countryside location
Cristiana and Dario are so welcoming and accommodating. We had a group of 12 and slept very comfortably. Unfortunately it was the worst storm in a decade so we didn’t get to enjoy the garden but it was beautiful! My only regret is that we only stayed here one night. I hope to come back and spend more time at this home in the future!

Fabulous property with wonderful hosts!
Cristiana, Dario and Bruno, their adorable 12 year old Bassett Hound welcomed our family of 8 with a bottle of cold Persecco and sweets. Their beautifully restored 200 year old home sits on a lovely park like setting. Since we did not have a rental car we relied on Dario to transport our group of 8 into Dolo for dinners, to the train station and airport. Cristiana and Dario couldn’t have been more accommodating! Their recommendation for dinner at “Al Cristo” in the quaint town of Dolo was so good we returned the next evening. This property is comfortable, clean, with wonderful owners! We highly recommended this rental if you are looking to stay in the Venice area.

A beautiful property and delightful hosts. Perfect for a family or group.
Chosen for a family celebration because of number of bedrooms and near Venice. Family of all ages including a toddler. The house interior house been beautifully constructed, lots of space and a large and pretty garden. We needed cars, most hired, but had problems with the one of our own, which Dario was enormously helpful in sorting out. Short drives to good supermarket, restaurants, station and a good public lido. Mira is convenient and Dolo is pretty with cafes next to the canal. Enjoyed visit to Villa Foscari Malcontenta, Padua by train and recommend driving to Fusini to take ferry to Zattere a relatively quiet area of Venice from where you can easily walk to main sites. Cristiana, Dario their family and Bruno the dog are a lovely family, very helpful when needed without being obtrusive. We took the house for 10 days overall, and would have liked to have stayed longer.

Close to Venice, gracious, helpful hosts, beautifully restored home, accommodating large groups
The warm welcome given by Christiana and Dario in spite of our unplanned late arrival was our first impression of this excellent property and surroundings. We loved the house, and appreciated the eye given to detail in the woodwork and integrated 'Murano' glass creations. We were also able to purchase some glass from a selection tastefully displayed in the house where we stayed. Our group of 13 easily had enough room to sleep, relax and eat, while the lawn and play area was enjoyed by the younger ones. English is spoken which was helpful in planning our stay as well as conversing with our caring hosts. We were happy to leave our vehicle at the local train station (approx 5-8 min away) and take the train into Venice. There are beautiful fields surrounding this property and it was very quiet. The radiators kept us perfectly comfortable as the temperatures in April can be chilly still. Christiana and Dario are the perfect hosts, helpful and discreet. Thank you so much for a great experience and we hope to repeat it soon! Kisses to Bruno! A definite recommend!
