Hotel Villa Barbarich, Venice, Italy

• Historic Venetian elegance: Born on the banks of the Marzengo river in the 16th century, Hotel Villa Barbarich is a glorious Italian villa with elegant interiors and a rich history: it was the former summer residence of the Malipiero family, and you’ll immediately feel the grandeur as you step into the marble hall, furnished with antique tables and decorated with enchanting frescoes by Ludovico Toeput.

• Tempting Italian cuisine: The elegance continues through to the Malipiero Restaurant, a fine dining space harking back to the era of banquets. From delicious homemade pasta doused in extra virgin olive oil to prime cuts of meat and locally grown vegetables, the chef prepares each dish with Italian gusto that will certainly make your mouth water.

• Wellness moments inside and out: Oasi Spa is a cosy wellness space replete with a sauna, Turkish bath, Jacuzzi and plenty more, but your relaxation isn’t confined to the interiors. A large swimming pool greets you in the gardens, and in the summer months it’s a delight to bask in the natural beauty of the grounds.
