HOTEL LEON D'ORO THE LEON D'ORO TOURIST COMPLEX IS A SPLENDID JEWEL OF COMFORT AND STYLE, RICH IN ITS OWN HISTORY. BUILT IN 1860 FOR THE BISHOPRIC OF PADUA, IT WAS A PLACE OF REST AND A RETREAT FOR THE FRANCISCANS. IN 1980 THE FORZUTTI FAMILY OF VENICE BECAME INTERESTED IN WHAT WAS THEN AN ABANDONED HISTORICAL BUILDING, AND DECIDED TO PUT ITS LONG EXPERIENCE IN “VENETIAN HOSPITALITY” TO USE, AFTER RESTORING THE PROPERTY. THE LEON D'ORO IS SURROUNDED BY THE LUSH COUNTRYSIDE AND HAS A LARGE GARDEN EQUIPPED WITH TWO POOLS WITH HYDROMASSAGE AND AMUSEMENTS FOR YOUNG AND OLD. THIS IS A PLACE WHERE THE ATHLETIC ASPECTS OF TOURISM FLOURISH WITH THE PLEASURE OF HIKING, ROWING ON THE RIVER OR TAKING A LONG BIKE RIDE THROUGH THE LAND OF TIEPOLO. INDEED THE SILENT, ECOLOGICAL AND RAPID BICYCLE IS THE IDEAL MEANS FOR A TOUR ALONG THE MUSON RIVER, STARTING FROM MIRANO, NEAR THE HISTORIC BELVEDERE AND XXV APRILE VILLAS, ALL THE WAY TO THE MOLINI DI SOPRA (NOW A RESTAURANT) ON THE EMBANKMENT PATH, A WINDING ROAD IMMERSED IN THE COLORS AND FRAGRANCES OF THE COUNTRY, PASSING STIGLIANO CASTLE, BUILT BY THE PADUANS IN THE 16TH CENTURY. PROCEEDING ALONG THE MUSON WE COME TO THE ANCIENT MILL AT MAZZACAVALLO AND DISCOVER THE EXTRAORDINARY GEOMETRY OF THE ROMAN GRID (THE CENTURIATION OF AGRICULTURE) THAT CHARACTERIZES THE LANDSCAPE IN THIS AREA. THE PATH CONTINUES ON TO THE MAJESTIC FARSETTI VILLA IN SANTA MARIA DI SALA THEN, PASSING THROUGH VETERNIGO, TO THE VILLAGE OF CASTELLIVIERO WHERE THE ZIANIGO CASTLE ONCE STOOD. IT WAS DESTROYED BY THE VENETIANS IN 1500. FROM HERE, WE RETURN TO MIRANO, AFTER A DAY IN THE FRESH AIR AND WITH THE FRESH MEMORY OF A RURAL LANDSCAPE OF RUSTIC LOVELINESS. THE ROOMS: Our guests can choose among a wide variety of rooms, all soundproofed, with satellite TV, minibar and air-conditioning. There are rooms for smokers and non-smokers, penthouses paneled in wood with skylights and others in elegant pastel tints, rattan furniture and baths coordinated in the same color scheme; others are furnished in period pieces from the late 19th century, that testify to the history of the Leon d'Oro. Some of the rooms on the ground floor have a small private garden where guests can relax in the late spring and summer.
