The ancient village of Cison di Valmarino is known as one of the most beautiful in Italy, surrounded by idyllic rural landscapes and yet set just 60km away from Venice, this area is a delightful setting for a holiday with family or friends. The home, Villa Cison has been owned by the same noble family since the 15th century and has seen its fair share of battles and feuds throughout the centuries, as well as its fair share of glamourous parties. The home was built in a strategic position for trade and for defending Venice’s borders, so was of much importance to the local community. Many of the nearby buildings share the same owners and all have matching red shutters.
These days, though the house still looks like a grand palace, it has been fully renovated and brought up to do date in order to accommodate groups of up to twenty guests. While staying here, you will be able to enjoy the luxurious surroundings and yet feel completely at home in this warm and welcoming villa.
Throughout Villa Cison, you will see many original features such as tiled or parquet flooring, fireplaces and pretty shutters on the windows. In a number of the bedrooms there are even original medieval frescoes on the walls and ceilings which are breathtaking to behold. These period features work in harmony with the modern, neutral colour palette and high-end furnishings to create a perfect blend of old and new. Though the villa is large, it still has a cosy feel to it due to the tasteful décor, artworks and antique items which are dotted throughout the living spaces and bedrooms.
The accommodation here is spread over three floors. There are a staggering 4 living rooms which include grand, formal living areas, an open plan living and dining room and a snug TV room. There are also two large dining rooms, one of which can be used for banqueting and events for up to 50 guests. You will even find two kitchens here; both of the designer kitchens are equipped with all of the appliances and crockery you could require, though one is much larger and suited to events.
Next up we have the bedrooms which are spread over the top two floors of the house. There are 10 bright and airy bedrooms available; most of the rooms offer king-sized beds, while 2 of the rooms have 2 queen sized beds in each and would suit the children. Some of the rooms feature original frescoes and beamed ceilings, while others are whitewashed and boast contemporary beds and more modern art work. Whichever room you select, you will be sure of a great night’s sleep and will have access to an en-suite bathroom or a bathroom which is shared with just one other bedroom. This set up is perfect for a larger group.
When staying here, you are able to truly relax and let go of the stresses of day-to-day life. Cleaning staff will be on hand to keep the home tidy, plus you will also have a cook and a butler to assist you.
The house is located within a small village, though when you are out in the garden, you would not know this due to the vast size of the grounds. There are large lawned spaces, dining terraces and an outdoor living room, ideal for spending time outside in the afternoon sun. There is also a fantastic private swimming pool lined with sun loungers and parasols.
Just a few paces away from the house, you will find yourself in the village centre. Here you can discover a small array of shops and some brilliant eateries which are handy to have so close. The village also has an imposing castle which is one of the oldest in Italy. It is now a hotel, but you are able to visit for dinner or to book a session at their inviting spa. There is always something going on in the lively village centre, from bustling markets to craft workshops.
What you should know…
- Parts of the house have air conditioning, the areas that do not are still nice and cool due to the thick, ancient stone walls.
- The villa is located in the heart of a small village, so there are a few neighbouring houses. You will need a car however, in order to reach nearby towns and to drive in to Venice.
- The owners live in the nearby house, which is connected to the Palace by a staircase.
- The pool is not fenced, so children should be supervised when outdoors.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa CisonThis medieval home sits in the centre of a village which is hailed as one of Italy’s most beautiful; Cison di Valmarino. This pretty village is the most wonderful place to stay as it offers plenty to see and do and yet is off the usual tourist trails, giving it a more authentic feel. The Veneto area is packed with historic attractions and is known for its incredible food and wine scene, what more could you wish for?
The local village Cison di Valmarino is just a few steps away from the villa, meaning when you wish to head out for your morning coffee or would like to pick up some fresh fruit, you will not have far to travel. The main square here is often filled with market stalls or you are sure to find events happening throughout the year, such as food festivals and arts and crafts workshops. Just outside of the village you can visit a 12th century Abbey and a historic water mill or pay a visit to the medieval hilltop castle which is now a hotel and spa, with a terrific restaurant. You can also find 7 world-class restaurants dotted around in farmhouses or nearby villages. The home owners will be able to advise you on these during your stay. In addition to delicious foods, this area is known for its Prosecco production, Prosecco lovers should not miss the opportunity to visit one of nearby vineyards for a wine tasting session.
This area is also beloved by nature lovers as the Via dei Mulini hiking area is on your doorstep. In addition, cyclists will be thrilled to find out that the routes used for the yearly Giro d’Italia cycling race can be reached easily from the home. If you would like to try out some of these routes in areas such as the San Boldo Pass or just take a leisurely bike ride on the car-free trails, the home owners can arrange bike hire or even instructors and guides. If you are visiting for a cosy winter break, you could try out some winter sports such as skiing as there are fantastic ski slopes available in the nearby Dolomites, with some amazing Michelin starred restaurants for a well-earned meal afterwards.
If you can spare a day or two for travelling a little further afield, there are many incredible towns and cities for you to explore by car. Vittorio Veneto which is 17km away is one option and Treviso, which is 41km away is another great option. One unmissable city is Venice, the capital of the Veneto region which is 75km away. This magical, iconic city is built on 118 little islands connected by picturesque canals and bridges. Whether you wish to spend your day taking a scenic Gondola ride or would like to wander around some of the amazing attractions such as Saint Mark’s Basilica, Venice has something for everyone.

This enchanting destination is home to an array of attractions and unique features that make it a must-visit for any traveller. Veneto's capital, Venice, is perhaps its most famous jewel, renowned for its romantic canals, magnificent architecture, and artistic treasures. The city's iconic St. Mark's Basilica, with its stunning Byzantine design and intricate mosaics, is a sight to behold. A gondola ride through the winding waterways of Venice offers a chance to experience its unparalleled beauty up close.
Kids

If you wish to take the children on a memorable day out, a trip to Zumelle Castle (16km away) is a wonderful idea.
