Historic Venetian Estate in 15-Acre Wildlife Reserve near Venice

A Historic Estate in the Venetian Countryside

Tucked away in the peaceful countryside of Veneto, Tenuta Castel Venezze is a unique historic estate that has been owned by the Del Bono Venezze family for more than 500 years. Surrounded by over 15 hectares of protected oak woodland and a wildlife reserve, the property offers an authentic Italian countryside experience immersed in nature, history, and timeless charm.

The estate dates back to the 16th century and was carefully restored by the family during the 1990s, preserving the original character of the ancient brick buildings, wooden beams, and traditional rural architecture. According to local history, the complex may originally have served as a medieval military outpost, giving the property a rare and fascinating atmosphere that still endures today.

1) Accommodation & Comfort

Today, Tenuta Castel Venezze welcomes guests to a refined agriturismo with 12 charming rooms, each featuring its own private en-suite bathroom, combining rustic elegance with comfort and tranquility.

Wildlife is part of everyday life here: herons, pheasants, ducks, deer, and many other species inhabit the surrounding nature reserve, creating a peaceful retreat far from mass tourism.

2) Additional Cottages for Families & Groups

For larger groups and families, upon request, the estate can also provide three independent garden cottages, offering a total of 6 additional double bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom.

These accommodation is particularly suitable for families travelling with children and allow the property to host up to 36 guests in total. Additional pricing for the cottages is available upon request.

3) Breakfast & Catering Services

The rates listed on VRBO already include daily breakfast service prepared and served by a member of our staff.

Upon request, we can also arrange for a private chef and catering services for lunches and dinners during your stay.

Since the estate features a fully professional kitchen, the kitchen facilities are not available for guest use; therefore, all catering and dining services must be arranged with the property prior to arrival.

4) A Strategic Location in Northern Italy

Despite its secluded and relaxing setting, the estate is perfectly located in the heart of Northern Italy. Within less than an hour by car, guests can easily reach some of Italy’s most celebrated art cities and destinations, including Venice, Verona, Padua, Ferrara, and Bologna.

5) The Perfect Place for an Authentic Italian Experience

Ideal for nature lovers, families, private groups, destination weddings, retreats, and travellers seeking an authentic Italian experience, Tenuta Castel Venezze offers a rare combination of history, privacy, comfort, and genuine Venetian hospitality.
