Villa Franceschi
The character of a historic villa, the care of a 5-star resort on the Venetian Riviera
Villa Franceschi Hotel & Resort is located in Mira, in the heart of the Riviera del Brenta, in a part of Veneto where the tradition of Venetian villa life reached its fullest expression over the centuries. Dating back to the first half of the sixteenth century and surrounded by more than four hectares of parkland, the villa overlooks the Naviglio. Its richly decorated, theatrical façade was originally designed to convey status, taste and opulence to those passing by boat.
From the seventeenth century onward, Villa Franceschi has welcomed many different guests, from Venetian aristocrats to celebrated writers such as Gabriele D’Annunzio and Ernest Hemingway. Today, it is a discreet retreat for those seeking beauty and privacy. The idea of hospitality remains the same: refined, as a residence of this kind requires, yet warm and welcoming, with sincere attention, discretion and services tailored to each guest’s needs.
The culture of the Venetian Riviera is present in the details, in the cuisine rooted in the local area, in the thoughtful suggestions for exploring the area and in the rhythm of each day. It is an elegance meant to be lived, welcoming guests with warmth.
