Hotel Description
Nestled along the picturesque Riviera del Brenta, the exquisite 5-star Villa Franceschi Hotel & Resort stands as a testament to timeless Venetian elegance. Located in the charming town of Mira at Via Don Minzoni 28, this exceptional property offers guests a sophisticated retreat just outside the bustling center of Venice. With an outstanding guest rating of 9.3, Villa Franceschi has established itself as one of the region’s premier luxury accommodations, combining historic charm with contemporary comforts. The hotel’s strategic position along the famous canal that connects Venice to Padua places guests in the heart of a region once favored by Venetian nobility, who built their magnificent summer villas along these shores during the Republic’s golden age.
The Villa Franceschi Hotel & Resort occupies a meticulously restored historic Venetian villa, where centuries of refined architectural tradition meet modern luxury. Guests find themselves immersed in an atmosphere of cultivated elegance, with rooms and suites that showcase authentic Venetian design elements while providing all the contemporary amenities expected of a 5-star establishment. The property’s gardens offer a serene escape where visitors can wander among ancient trees and vibrant flowers, or simply relax and soak in the atmospheric beauty of the Brenta Canal. The hotel’s exceptional rating reflects its unwavering commitment to personalized service, with staff members who pride themselves on anticipating guests’ needs and creating bespoke experiences that showcase the best of Venetian hospitality. The culinary offerings at Villa Franceschi celebrate the rich gastronomic heritage of the Veneto region, with seasonal ingredients sourced from local producers transformed into unforgettable dining experiences by talented chefs.
While offering a tranquil alternative to staying in Venice’s often crowded center, Villa Franceschi Hotel & Resort provides easy access to the city’s iconic attractions. Guests can embark on a romantic journey along the Brenta Canal aboard traditional boats, exploring the route once taken by Venetian aristocrats as they traveled between their urban palaces and countryside estates. The hotel is perfectly positioned for exploring the magnificent Palladian villas that dot the Riviera del Brenta, including masterpieces such as Villa Pisani, Villa Widmann, and Villa Foscari. For those wishing to explore Venice itself, the city is readily accessible by public transportation or private transfer, allowing guests to experience the magic of St. Mark’s Square, the Grand Canal, and countless other Venetian treasures before returning to the peaceful luxury of Villa Franceschi. The property’s location in Mira also offers opportunities to discover the authentic character of smaller Veneto towns and villages, where local traditions remain vibrantly alive away from the well-trodden tourist paths. This perfect balance between accessibility and seclusion is just one of many reasons why discerning travelers consistently award Villa Franceschi Hotel & Resort its exceptional 9.3 rating, making it a standout destination for those seeking a truly memorable Venetian experience.

Reviews
Mg747 from Netherlands – 17 July 2023 (10/10)
Leafy, romantic setting away from Venice yet near enough that you could go there for the afternoon / evening. The food at the Villa Franceschi was delicious and well-presented. Service top-notch throughout. I can highly recommend this place. The nearby village of Mira (only a short walk away) is charming too.
What could be improved: Our only annoyance was that the pool was still closed although when we touched the water it was really perfect. It may have been early-May but definitely warm enough to swim. Should be an option for those who don't need the water to be >25C.Alexandru from Romania – 7 January 2025 (10/10)
