The five-star property features 189 rooms and suites, alongside historic courtyards and a Romanesque church dating back to 1131. Rooms start at 35 square metres, while the hotel’s signature suites extend up to 200 square metres.

A major part of the resort experience is dedicated to wellness and recreation. Facilities include The Longevity Spa – Milano, a heated outdoor swimming pool, indoor and outdoor fitness areas, a 1.5-kilometre jogging path, tennis court and waterside pitch-and-putt area. The estate also offers Mediterranean gardens, vintage bicycles and an open-air cinema.

The hotel’s culinary offering spans several restaurants and bars. Acquerello Fine Dining focuses on modern Venetian cuisine and traditional Italian flavours, while Le Specialità – Milano offers a more relaxed Italian dining experience in the gardens.
