HOTEL SUMMARY
Where 18th-century Venetian aristocracy meets sustainable viticulture, Villa Cordevigo in Cavaion Veronese transforms a patrician estate into Italy's most distinctive luxury hotel, where organic vineyards and Michelin-starred dining create an immersive terroir experience just moments from Lake Garda.
Originally built by the noble Pignolati family during Renaissance Italy, this extraordinary estate found new life in the late 1990s under the stewardship of local wine-producing families Delibori and Cristoforetti. Today, Lorenza Delibori continues this legacy through Vigneti Villabella, weaving together centuries of aristocratic heritage with pioneering sustainable agriculture. The villa's bright red and yellow facade, approached via a cypress-lined avenue, reveals an architectural tapestry accumulated over centuries—from the Renaissance chapel dedicated to St. Martin to the artistic fountain gracing the central courtyard, every element speaks to noble Italian craftsmanship.
Villa Cordevigo's 35 individually designed rooms and suites represent the pinnacle of Venetian luxury, each uniquely appointed with sumptuous silky upholstery and authentic Venetian glass chandeliers that illuminate even the marble bathrooms. These premium accommodations overlook meticulously maintained Italian gardens and the estate's 100-hectare organic vineyards, where 23 hectares of certified organic cultivation demonstrate the property's commitment to ethical land stewardship. The two historic "barchesse" wings frame accommodations that preserve aristocratic grandeur while delivering contemporary luxury amenities and technology.
Culinary excellence defines the Villa Cordevigo experience through Michelin-starred restaurant Oseleta, ingeniously housed within the estate's former stables. Chef Giuseppe d'Aquino, whose international pedigree includes collaboration with Wolfgang Puck, crafts sensory-engaging dishes that celebrate local Bardolino Classico terroir with creative presentation. The casual bistro offers intimate candlelit dinners under starlit skies, providing magnificent countryside vistas alongside refined Italian cuisine. The estate's spa and wellness facilities complement extensive recreational opportunities throughout the vast park and Italian gardens, while concierge services arrange exclusive wine tastings and cultural excursions to nearby Verona.
For discerning travelers seeking authentic Italian luxury beyond conventional hotel experiences, Villa Cordevigo offers unparalleled immersion in Veneto's noble heritage and sustainable viticulture. Book during harvest season to witness traditional grape hand-picking, or reserve spring stays when the estate's gardens reach peak bloom.
