HOTEL VILLA DUCALE IN 1884 COUNT GIULIO ROCCA, A VENETIAN NOBLE, BUILT A LUXURIOUS SUMMER HOME ON THE BANKS OF THE BRENTA, SURROUNDED BY THE LUSH GREEN OF A MAGNIFICENT PARK. THE VERDANT BRANCHES OF ITS TALL TREES SHADE THE CANDID MARBLE STATUES OF NYMPHS AND THE ALLEGORIES OF THE SEASONS, THE VERE DA POZZO AND THE LONELY STABLES, LOCATED ON THE EDGE OF THE PARK. A SMALL, INTIMATE 18TH CENTURY CHAPEL, CONSECRATED AND STILL USABLE FOR CEREMONIES COMPLETES THE ENCHANTING SCENE. IT IS A DELIGHTFUL PLACE, ALL TOGETHER, AND ELEGANTLY REFINED, WITH THE HANDSOME COAT OF ARMS OF THE ROCCA FAMILY BLAZONED OVER THE FRONT DOOR. VILLA DUCALE IS JUST 15 MINUTES AWAY FROM ROMANTIC VENICE AND ANCIENT PADUA, AND IS THE IDEAL STARTING POINT FOR TOURS IN DISCOVERY OF THE RICH VENETIAN TERRITORY. A BUS LINE CONNECTS DOLO DIRECTLY WITH THE TWO ART CITIES; IT STOPS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE GATE. EARLY IN THE NINETIES THE VILLA WAS THE SUBJECT OF A DELICATE, PATIENT RESTORATION PROJECT DESIGNED TO MAKE THE MOST OF THE "NOBLE BUILDING, RICH IN HISTORY" AND ITS LOVELY SETTING ALONGSIDE THE CANAL THAT "MARKS THE TIME IN ITS PEACEFUL FLOW BETWEEN THE BANKS”. ONCE AGAIN, THE VILLA IS ABLE TO EXPRESS ALL THE SPLENDOR AND SOBER ELEGANCE WITH WHICH IT WAS ENDOWED AT BIRTH. THE FLOORS OF THE MAIN HALLS AND LOBBY ONCE AGAIN GLEAM WITH POLISH, AND THE PLASTER DECORATIONS ARE PERFECT WITH THEIR DELICATE SHAPES; EVERY ROOM DISPLAYS FRESCOES AND TALL MIRRORS IN MURANO GLASS; PRECIOUS CHANDELIERS ILLUMINATE THE SOFT, THICK DRAPES AND FURNITURE IN VENETIAN STYLE. THE BALLROOM HAS A CAPACITY OF UP TO 200, AND IS IDEAL FOR WEDDING RECEPTIONS, MEETINGS AND EXHIBITIONS. SMALLER MEETING ROOMS ARE ALSO AVAILABLE FOR MORE RESTRICTED GROUPS, ENSURING THE MAXIMUM PRIVACY AND DISCRETION. THE ATMOSPHERE IS EVOCATIVE OF THE TIMELESS LUXURY OF AN EARLIER AGE WHERE THE GUEST IS CONSTANTLY AWARE OF A SENSATION OF TRANQUILITY AND PEACE, SURROUNDED BY COMFORT AND PERFECTLY AT EASE. VILLA DUCALE BOASTS AN EXCELLENT RESTAURANT, “LE COLONNE” WHERE SERVICE AND QUALITY ARE THE WATCHWORDS.
