For a truly remarkable getaway, escape to this stately home steeped in history in the charming Italian village of Cison di Valmarino, just an hour from gorgeous Venice.

Originating in the 15th century, the house has been restored as a home away from home for those who wish to savour the best that Veneto has to offer. Spend your days relaxing by the glorious pool, admiring the rose garden from the newly restored portico, and dining alfresco under the chestnut tree in the garden.

What better than to share paradise with loved ones? One of the two designer kitchens can host a gorgeous banquet for up to 50 guests, and you don’t have to lift a finger here – the butler and his wife will cook and attend to all your needs.

Landscapes rich in natural beauty are on your doorstep to explore. The valley is at the heart of the most famous cycling area in Italy, while magnificent skiing in the Dolomites is just over an hour away.

Foodies rejoice – this region is abundant in fine produce, not least with some of the best prosecco producers being mere minutes away by car. Visits to gorgeous nearby fish, vegetable and cheese markets can all be organised and thanks to the area's reputation for outstanding food culture, many first-class restaurants can be found just a few kilometres away.
