Frommer's Review

This 17th-century villa, expanded in the 19th century, once served as guest quarters for the noble Contarini family of Venice. Today it is run with refined gusto by the Dal Corso family, who provide fresh fruit and flowers in your room and a highly polished professional courtesy. All rooms overlook the large, pine-shaded lawn and are soundproofed against the noise of passing cars. "Standard" rooms, on the smaller side of medium size, have rugs scattered over wood floors. "Deluxe" rooms are larger (except for no. 218, which is a cozy lovers' nook with a spacious terrace), with more interesting antiques and richer fabrics, and are more frequently blessed with balconies. "Junior suites" are larger still and feature double sinks. The salons downstairs are appropriately furnished in the manner of a rich country villa, with chessboards fronting fireplaces and plush armchairs.

The Dal Corsos also run Brenta hotel in Mira, about 5 minutes away. Villa Franceschi (Via Don Minzoni 28, Mira Porte, Venezia; tel. 041-426-6531; fax 041-560-8996; www.villafranceschi.com), in the late-16th-century Villa Palladiana, features 27 guest rooms (mostly junior suites), lush gardens, a swimming pool, and an on-site restaurant. Grand doubles run 245€ ($319); grand deluxe doubles are 275€ ($358); junior suites cost 305€ ($397); and suites run 380€ ($494).

Facilities:
Frescoed Venetian/fish restaurant across the street; bar; bike rental; concierge; tour desk; 24-hr. room service; laundry service; nonsmoking rooms

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
