About

Villa Ormaneto is a 14th-century Venetian country villa in Verona, offering a serene park, lush gardens, and elegant rooms for rustic-chic weddings, multi-day celebrations, and unforgettable moments immersed in nature and history.

Villa Ormaneto is a rare jewel of the Veronese countryside, where centuries of history meet contemporary elegance. Originally built in the 14th century as a hunting lodge, the villa has been exquisitely transformed into a Venetian country retreat that feels timeless yet refreshingly modern.

From the moment you arrive, a tree-lined avenue of hornbeams welcomes you, leading to a 10,000-square-meter park where majestic Caucasian walnut trees rise like living sculptures. This lush natural setting, complete with fragrant herb gardens and a charming chapel, creates a serene backdrop for open-air ceremonies and botanical-inspired celebrations.

Villa Ormaneto

Inside, Villa Ormaneto blends antique charm with curated modern design. Eight elegantly appointed rooms, including a sumptuous suite with a private spa, invite guests to settle in for multi-day celebrations, making it perfect for destination weddings with family and friends.

The villa’s expansive gardens and serene pool area set the stage for relaxed welcome dinners, sunset cocktails, and after-party brunches. To complete the experience, VIOR, the onsite restaurant, offers refined Venetian cuisine crafted from fresh, locally sourced ingredients ideal for memorable rehearsal dinners or intimate wedding feasts.

Villa Ormaneto isn’t just a venue, it’s an experience, rustic chic, nature-immersed, and designed for couples who want to slow down and celebrate love in a setting that feels both poetic and personal.

A beautiful 700-year-old villa
A beautiful 700-year-old villa with a unique atmosphere. I spent three unforgettable days at Relais Villa Ormaneto, and every moment deserves the highest praise. From the very first step, I was captivated by the atmosphere—charming grounds, quiet lanes, and lush greenery—perfect for a romantic getaway. Room: Comfortable bed, private bathroom with full amenities, smart TV, air-conditioning, and flawless Wi-Fi—everything worked perfectly. Pool & parking: A lovely pool nestled in a tranquil garden and secure, discreet parking made the stay completely stress-free. Verona is only about a 40-minute drive away—an excellent base for exploring the sights. The on-site VI•OR restaurant is a true gem—a feast for the senses. Its stylish yet relaxed ambience under mature trees blends beautifully with local cuisine. The highlight for me was the snails—prepared with respect for tradition yet with a modern twist. The wine list is excellent, featuring regional bottles that elevate every dish. Snails—an absolute must-try. Wine—expertly curated and perfectly matched to the menu. Service—warm, professional, and capable of creating a truly special atmosphere. It’s an ideal spot for a romantic escape—time seems to slow down here, and every detail invites you to relax and savour the moment. You need to come here with your own car. It’s quite a distance from Verona and other interesting towns. But sometimes it’s worth driving 30–40 minutes to find yourself in a truly special place.
