Discover Villa Ca’ Ottolina and Its Surroundings
This blog is your personal guide to uncover unique experiences, cultural treasures, scenic escapes and the authentic soul of northern Italy — all starting from our villa.
Welcome to the Villa Ca’ Ottolina blog — a dedicated space to share insights, recommendationse stories about the villa and its surroundings. From cultural highlights and day trips to wine suggestions and unforgettable experiences, this section is meant to inspire and guide our guests and readers alike.
Located in the heart of Veneto, the villa offers easy access to some of Italy’s greatest Roman, Medieval and Renaissance landmarks, including Verona, Mantua, Vicenza, Venice, Padua and Ferrara.
Nearby you’ll find the romantic village of Borghetto and the stunning Lake Garda, with Sirmione standing out for its iconic castle perched at the tip of its peninsula. Here, you can go swimming, rent boats or explore architectural gems like the Palladio villas — with Villa Pisani in Bagnolo di Lonigo being one of the closest.
For wine lovers, the area is a paradise: red wines from Valpolicella are among Italy’s finest, especially those from the Serego-Alighieri family — descendants of Dante Alighieri. Mention “Polazzo” during your visit for an exclusive discount. White wine lovers will enjoy nearby Soave, home to top cellars like Pieropan and the more budget-friendly Cantina Sociale.
If you’re looking for a shorter trip, the medieval town of Montagnana is just half an hour away — perfect for a scenic walk, some gelato or a cozy dinner inside its ancient walls. Adventurous guests can even try rafting along the Adige river, a refreshing experience in the warmer months.
Villa Ca’ Ottolina isn’t just a place to stay — it’s a gateway to art, nature, wine and the vibrant soul of northern Italy. This blog is your personal guide to discovering it.
