The six romantic bedrooms of the Alcova del Doge reflect all the particular care and passion that was put into choosing the right fabrics and furnishings by the house owners. The furniture was carefully selected from antique markets and dealers and different colours were used for each room in order to create a warm and cosy atmosphere, while still including all the comforts such as air conditioning, LCD TV, PC outlet, safe and drinks-fridge. All the spacious ensuite bathrooms have hairdryer and magnifier mirror. From the windows you can admire a wonderful view of the courtyard, a vigorous park of an old ,antique villa and the suggestive and relaxing flowing of the Brenta River, giving you a real sense of peace and rest.
