Tucked into the sun-drenched slopes of the Euganean Hills, Il Casale al Colle is a family-run haven where food, landscape, and hospitality come together.

With just a handful of rooms and apartments, it feels more like staying with friends who happen to own a beautifully restored farmhouse surrounded by olive trees and vineyards.

You're in the countryside here – the kind where deer roam the estate, herbs grow just outside the kitchen door, and hosts Deborah, Barbara, and Matteo greet you with cake and a plan for your best day.

Yet you're also just minutes from Abano’s thermal springs, half an hour from Padua, and within easy reach of Venice by train.

Deborah is a gifted cook (and pastry magician), and her dinners – reserved only for guests – are reason enough to stay in.
