Villa Margherita
Aristocratic Venetian country house — frescoed ceilings, antiques, and a shaded garden park. Quiet and genuinely family-run, not a corporate product.
Ask for a room with a terrace or balcony overlooking the centuries-old park — the upgrade is worth asking about.
Why It Matters
One of the Brenta Riviera's few authentic 17th-century noble villas operating as a hotel, run personally by the Dal Corso family (now into the fourth generation). Part of Romantik Hotels, known for owner-run properties with character. Guests get the Venice experience without the crowds, and access to a proper fish-forward restaurant at the sister villa.
A 17th-century Venetian noble villa set in a historic park right on the Brenta Riviera, 15 km from Venice. The Dal Corso family has run this place for generations — genuine, personal hospitality is the whole point here. Nineteen rooms filled with antique furnishings, period paintings, frescoes, and richly coordinated fabrics. No pool on-site and no dinner restaurant in the building itself, but the family's Ristorante Margherita is a short 800-metre walk at sister property Villa Franceschi.

On Property
How you'll actually spend your days.
Rent bikes directly from the hotel and explore the Brenta Riviera at your own pace. The obvious short ride is to Villa Franceschi (800m) for pool access and the restaurant. Longer routes follow the historic Brenta Riviera villas or take the 3-water cycling route connecting the Sile river, the Adriatic, and the northern Venice lagoon.
The villa sits at the heart of the Brenta Riviera, lined with Palladian and Baroque villas. Villa Widmann Rezzonico Foscari is a 2-minute walk away; Villa Valmarana is 7 minutes on foot; Villa Pisani (former Napoleon and Mussolini meeting site, frescoes by Tiepolo) is 6 km by car. The hotel can arrange tours.
Full-day tours on traditional Venetian Burchielli boats along the Brenta Canal between Venice and Padova. On-board guides cover the art, culture, and architecture of the Brenta Riviera villas. These boats have been operating this route since the 17th century.
The hotel owns a yacht accommodating up to 20 guests. The captain takes you through the Venice Lagoon, visiting the most interesting spots. Sunset aperitif cruises on the water are also offered — bookable through the Romantik Hotels shop.
Two meeting rooms on-site: Sala Scamozzi (120 sqm, seats up to 110 auditorium-style) and Sala del Costa (80 sqm, seats up to 60 auditorium-style). Both have wooden floors, wall frescoes, and Wi-Fi. Capacity ranges from 8 to 120 people.
The hotel's partner property Villa Franceschi, 800 metres away, has a pool and fitness center available to Villa Margherita guests. The hotel arranges a shuttle service on request.
A curated route from the hotel up through the Prosecco DOC hills between Valdobbiadene and Conegliano. The hotel can organise visits to local wineries where Prosecco DOC is exclusively produced, paired with regional food.
Regional buses depart from directly in front of the villa. Venice is 15 km away (25 minutes by car, or 15 minutes by vaporetto from nearby Fusina). The hotel can also arrange shuttle transfers and tailor-made programmes for Venice, Murano, Burano, and other lagoon islands.
