Set in the Brenta Riviera town of Dolo, Villa Martin sits in the same world as Venice’s grand villas, but with a quieter, countryside feel. Think of it as an alternative to staying on the lagoon: you still get access to Venice, yet you come back to a historic property with gardens and a more relaxed pace. It’s the sort of charming Italian retreat that competes with small boutique hotels around Venice, especially if you prefer character over big-chain polish.
Who will enjoy this Venetian villa stay?
Couples planning a September break get a Deluxe Room stay with breakfast for two, plus a bottle of wine to start the trip on the right note. Dolo works well for slow mornings and evening strolls, while Venice is within reach for day trips, galleries and dinner reservations. Expect period details and a sense of place, rather than a modern, minimalist hotel vibe.
- Breakfast included, useful for early sightseeing days in Venice
- Bottle of wine, a welcome extra for a first-night unwind
