The hotel is aptly named as it sits on a large, park-like property and offers beautifully furnished, large rooms in a 18-19th. century villa, with 14in. walls, 12 ft. ceilings complete with walnut doors, trim, and crown moldings, air conditioning, modern, large bath facilities (large sink, bath tub, bidet), 37 in. TV, and a queen bed (a bit firm, but tolerable). Our room had double windows with a fantastic view over the extensive property to the front of the villa, all beautifully landscaped with a variety of huge, possibly exotic, trees that would appear to be several hundred years old. The staff was friendly, helpful, and spoke good English. Breakfast, in a nicely furnished room next to the bar, included a complete variety of continental items: rolls, croissants, ham, salami, cheese, jams, boiled eggs, fruit salad, juices, and yogurt. Coffee or cappuccino was served to the table. A restaurant across the road, a two minute walk away, offers a complete Italian menu for reasonable prices (1/2 L wine was 5 Euro) but hours are limited except on Sundays.. If you are staying for more than a day or two and don't want to spend it all sightseeing in Venice, I highly recommend staying here as doing so affords you a chance of relaxing in total comfort reminiscent of times gone by. Staying in Venice may cost twice as much and the bus from in front of the hotel only costs 3 Euro p/p, one way (1/2 hour). A taxi from the cruise dock cost 60 Euro (~20 minutes).
