Our nearness to Venice is not the only reason to choose a hotel in Quarto d'Altino. The first settlement in nearby Altino, a rich archeological area, dates from the 7th century BC and was later one of the major trading ports of the upper Adriatic. The Altino Archeological Museum, located nearby, contains interesting finds from the Roman and pre-Roman periods that document the ancient luxuries of the place.
In addition, nature lovers will have a unique opportunity to visit the Trepalade oasis in Portegrandi, an uncontaminated nature preserve in which various animal species find refuge among its luxuriant vegetation.
Moreover, the Hotel's closeness to the Sile River offers the possibility of making a reservation to reach Venice and its islands in a romantic boat excursion, surrounded by the enchanting atmosphere of leafy banks, stands of cane and woods. The excursion is available for both groups and individuals, with the possibility of lunch on the boat or in a restaurant in Venice.
The more sports-minded can discover the natural marvels of the Sile River on bicycle or foot, on the path that runs from Quarto d'Altino to the splendid city of Treviso, with its old town center and beautiful Venetian Villas.
