Villa Barbarich
Surrounded by the serene tranquility of Mestre, near the world-famous canals of Venice, Villa Barbarich boasts an exceptional blend of historical elegance and modern style. Sitting majestically in a beautifully restored 16th-century villa, it provides a refined retreat for couples, families and business guests seeking refined accommodation, lavish ambiance and central base from which to discover the Venetian lagoon and Veneto.
A Venetian Palace Setting
Villa Barbarich's roots go back to the Malipiero family's summer palace, a noble Venetian family. The architecture of the original villa, situated along the River Marzenego's banks, has been redeveloped in a respectful manner as a luxury hotel, retaining its frescoed corridors, high ceilings, and stately proportions alongside the incorporation of modern amenities.
Guests at the property are immediately made to feel they are a step back in time — expansive corridors, era accuracy, and serene garden vistas evoke the decadent living style of Venetian nobility, yet within easy reach of Mestre's transport links.
Rooms & Suites Designed for Comfort
The hotel at Villa Barbarich is designed to blend in with its historical surroundings in elegant detail. The visitor has the choice of Classic, Superior and Deluxe rooms, or Junior Suites with generous space, each of which offers:
Air-conditioning and heating with individual climate control
Free high-speed Wi-Fi and flat-screen TV
Minibar, tea and coffee-making facilities and safe deposit box
Deluxe bathroom toiletries, rainfall shower and bathrobe/slippers
Soundproof windows and luxurious bedding
The majority of the rooms enjoy garden or river vistas, frescoed ceilings or period beams, and spacious layouts that invite relaxation. The décor combines elegant Venetian sophistication with stylish minimalism — muted colour palettes, luxurious materials and timeless design come together to provide an aura of understated luxury.
Fine Dining & Garden Retreat
Dining at Villa Barbarich is a highlight of the experience. The in-hotel Ristorante Malipiero is led by Executive Chef Raimo Chiacchera and offers a lagoon- and locally focused menu — the laguna mussels and smoked tomato guazzetto featured on the menu are precisely the kind of regional authenticity that one would hope for from this hotel. Meals are taken in elegant rooms, often with garden or the villa architectural features in view from their table.
For a postprandial digestivo or an aperitif, the lounge and bar are where to go. Concurrently, the villa's tranquil gardens, riverfront setting and periodical outdoor veranda invite morning coffee, leisurely strolling or simple quiet reflection away from Venice' hubbub.
Location & Accessibility
A strategic yet serene location of Villa Barbarich in Mestre, Via Molino Ronchin 1, renders it easily reachable by train, automobile or airport bus. The nearby Venezia-Mestre railway station links rapidly with Venice Santa Lucia, and guests can access the city centre within less than 15 minutes.
Customers also appreciate proximity to A-Grade motorway junctions and Marco Polo Airport, and the property is an excellent selection for business and holiday vacations. However, for as much convenience as it offers, the villa remains concealed behind greenery and water-side peace, being an inviting retreat after a day of sightseeing.
The union of accessibility and tranquil environment makes Villa Barbarich stand out from typical central-Venice accommodations.
Wellness & Amenities
Beyond sleek, pleasing rooms and gourmet cuisine, Villa Barbarich provides – its guest-facing facilities filled with hotel luxury standards. Amenities include:
Spa and wellness centre fully equipped
Sun-bathing and lounging pool with umbrellas and sun-loungers (seasonal)
Free car parking for visitors, which is unheard of in the area of Venice
Bicycle hire and garden access for active travelers
24-hour multilingual reception and concierge facilities
All of these amenities are equally comfortable for families who would like to spend a relaxing holiday, couples who need a romantic weekend and business travelers who anticipate easy services and luxury.
Why Villa Barbarich?
Sophisticated tourists prefer Villa Barbarich for an elite retreat from the mass-touristy island of Venice. For tourists who appreciate historical architecture but still need luxury comfort, it is a wonderful blend. Couples value its garden courtyard and elegant rooms; families value the space and convenient access; business travelers utilize the calm atmosphere and transport links. And besides, the hotel's emphasis on service, furnishings quality and upscale ambiance match those of prime city-centre luxury hotels — but at a potentially less frenetic pace and price.
Conclusion
In a region where the old-world magic of Venice dominates, Villa Barbarich stands as an elegant alternative — just a short drive from the lagoon but surrounded by history and tranquility of the mainland. Its elegantly restored villa style, gourmet dining, spa facilities and proximity make it an outstanding choice for anyone in pursuit of luxury, ease and atmosphere.
