What we say, says far more about us than what we are speaking about. Everything is relative. Positive people, experience the world in a positive way and have positive things to say. Negative people, experience the world in a negative way and have negative things to say. Psychotics see psychotics, rude people see rudeness, paranoids see hidden cameras and believe... More

The Villa Pisani is a very special place. Truly enormous, almost palatial in scale and full of fine antiques and frescoes, the real glory of the estate is its elaborate formal garden and adjacent English-style park. We were fortunate to visit in mid-May, when the roses and peonies were at their peak. I have visited the Veneto many times, and... More

We flew into Venice and spent our first couple of days here for some relaxation before entering the fray at Venice, Milan, etc. It served this purpose perfectly and we thoroughly enjoyed our short stay. Mariella Scalabrin, the owner, is a personable, charming and gracious hostess who was quite willing to share the entire villa with us: "When you are... More

This was once a beautiful hunting lodge/country villa for the prince of venice and visited by such people as Napoleon II and even Hitler. Unfortunately it has been seriously let go with evidence the last time the owner Mariella (countess of... More

I read about Villa Pisani (not to be confused with the one in Stra) in Travel & Leisure magazine. You need a car to reach it but it's definitely worth getting one to stay in this stunning, unique place! It is a 16th century palace, which the gracious owner Mariella has restored, and you've never seen anything like it! It's... More
