4. Villa Di Montelopio
Villa Di Montelopio dates from the 16th century and still retains the atmosphere, though part has been totally restored in recent years.

The outdoor spaces are also charming: you are welcomed into the property by the delightful stone courtyard out front, perfect for dining, pretty terraces, a groomed little garden and a paved pool area, installed among the olive groves.

7. San Giovanni
San Giovanni is probably our most striking historic property. It is a typical house of the Veneto and is perched right on the water at Torcello, a lovely lagoon town that was a precursor of Venice but later abandoned in favour of that more famous city. San Giovanni was built towards the end of the seventeenth century and is the only villa on Torcello. The property takes its name from the Romanesque church of San Giovanni some of whose ruins have been restored by the International Save Venice Fund and which can still be admired in the garden. It features rich, elegant interiors and is surrounded by an enormous garden with a private pool.
An added bonus is that water taxis can easily deliver guests to Venice and Burano, making it a nice location for exploring those areas, while remaining far from the crowds and smells of the city. The property sleeps 12 in 6 bedrooms and is available from €1141 per night, a price that reflects its luxurious finish and incredibly well-preserved state that will make all of your period drama fantasies come to life.
