Villa Castel Venezze is a medieval property set in the heart of a beautiful green park in the Venetian countryside. The accommodation, a prestigious villa owned by noblemen, was restored in the 16th century after the destruction of the ancient castle. It offers you an oasis of peace and tranquility, where you can enjoy the real Venetian life and food. There is a biological swimming pool, disinfected only by mineral salts, and a large parking place. Stay overnight in charming rooms with original ancient furniture, air conditioning, private en-suite bathroom, and satellite-TV. You will enjoy the great care to details that Maria Giustiniani, the owner, has given to her villa, the restaurant and, most important, to her guests. Under her watchful eyes, Maria’s Tenuta has been transformed into one of Veneto's finest accommodation, keeping its original, old style and charm.

Stefano Zamboni
Hello everyone, my name is Stefano Zamboni and I have been a professional Venetian chef for over 25 years. My passion for cooking was already in my blood when I was just 12 years old helping my parents (professional chefs). The passion soon involved me to the point that on weekends I worked as an apprentice pastry chef. This somewhat upset my study plans to the point that I went to work under my uncle (a chef with a famous CV). As the years grew, I also cultivated another desire: to travel. And so with the support of a family friend, I began my long and unfinished journey around the world. My
