Tenuta Castel Venezze, farm located in Veneto near Venice
Villa Tenuta Castel Venezze is an elegant country estate located in the Veneto region, not far from Venice, on the border of the historical Polesine area. The heart of the property is the main villa and its striking original portico, both meticulously restored in 2003 after fifteen years of careful work. These restorations unveiled the splendor of a 16th-century noble residence, itself built upon the ruins of a medieval castle destroyed in the 1100s during the conflicts between Ferrara and Venice.
Tenuta Castel Venezze was inaugurated in 1998 as one of the pioneering “agriturismi” in the province of Rovigo. Until 2014, it was lovingly managed by our mother, Maria Giustiniani. Since her passing in September 2014, her five children have taken on the responsibility of continuing her vision, faithfully preserving the distinctive charm and character she so carefully crafted.
The estate offers the charm of a traditional Venetian agriturismo, where time slows down and nature takes center stage. Surrounded by a centuries-old park, the property provides a relaxing retreat for families, couples, or groups looking to unwind away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The rustic architecture and medieval charm blend seamlessly with the comfort of its accommodations, which include rooms and apartments furnished in the traditional, classic style of the past, reflecting the authentic atmosphere of a historic country residence. During the warmer months, from June to mid-September, guests can enjoy a natural saltwater swimming pool, set amidst the greenery—a perfect spot to cool off and relax after a day of sightseeing.
