Hotel Villa Cipriani – Elegant History in the Hills of Asolo
Nestled in the gentle hills above the Venetian plain, in the historic town of Asolo, Hotel Villa Cipriani offers a stay that blends refined country elegance with timeless Italian charm. Housed in a villa whose origins stretch back to the 16th-century and enriched by illustrious guests and rich landscape, this hotel is more than a place to sleep — it is a place to feel rooted in the Veneto’s heritage.
Arrival & Setting
You arrive on a narrow road winding up through Asolo’s olive-groves and vineyard slopes. The villa’s façade emerges, classical and gracious, as you step into its sweeping gardens. The outdoor areas have long been celebrated: tulips in spring, fragrant roses in May, olea fragrans scent in autumn, and a majestic persimmon tree in winter. As you walk through the entrance, you feel a mix of history and hospitality — polished wood, soft lighting, elegant furnishings, and views that draw your eye outward to hills and sky rather than inward to distraction. It’s a moment of arrival that whispers calm and expectation.
Rooms & Suites: Character, Craft & View
Hotel Villa Cipriani features 28 rooms and suites divided between the historic Villa and the adjacent Casa Giardino — all described as “stylishly furnished with pieces of local craftsmanship.” Picture a Deluxe Junior Suite with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the garden, soft parquet underfoot, hand-painted tiles in the bathroom, antique wardrobes with quietly modern comfort embedded. For the Duse Suite (50 m²) you’ll find hand-painted Venetian-red walls, perhaps referencing Eleonora Duse, and a separate study beyond the bedroom. The scale is intimate — comfortable, elegant — and the setting imbues each stay with quiet distinction. Reviewers highlight the large windows and countryside views. 
Garden, Pool & The Pace of the Place
One of the signature experiences here is the infinity pool set in the lush park of the villa. Surrounded by olive trees, cypress, greenery and scenically framed by Asolo’s hills, the pool invites slow afternoons, sun, relaxation, and reflection. The garden itself is described as a jewel of colour and scent — a space where the seasons show themselves in bloom, fragrance and light. It isn’t merely backdrop: it’s part of the stay. 
Dining, Craft & Local Flavour
Dining at the villa conveys its own distinct character. The main restaurant offers local and Mediterranean dishes — the menu evolves with the seasons, drawing on the region’s produce (radicchio from Treviso in autumn, fresh herbs in spring, etc.). Meanwhile, a light-summer-menu venue, “Bistrot Rosmarino,” sits along the garden and pool — perfect for leisurely lunch or sunset drink. The American Bar with its legacy furnishings from the 1960s adds a touch of classic elegance and serves cocktails, perhaps a Bellini or classic mix.
Location & Why It Counts
Asolo has long been regarded as "the city of a hundred horizons" because of its elevated vantage and scenic panorama. The hotel’s address — Via Canova 298, 31011 Asolo, Treviso Province, Veneto — places you within this art-history-rich town, yet you’re situated in a tranquil estate, separated from hustle and bustle. While the hotel feels remote, it’s reachable: approximately 40 km from Treviso Airport, 70 km from Venice Airport. This combination of ease, quiet and beauty gives the stay its edge.Why This Hotel Stands Out
Heritage & refinement: Once the home of English poet Robert Browning, later a private estate and now a boutique hotel.Garden as destination: The grounds, pool and views elevate the stay beyond mere accommodation.Crafted interiors with local character: Rooms speak of place, materials and story rather than generic luxury.Intimate scale & sense of calm: With under 30 rooms, the feel is boutique, personal, restful.
Hotel Villa Cipriani is where Italian country elegance meets quiet luxury. It does not shout; it invites. In the hills of Asolo you find a place to slow down, look out, breathe in beauty, and wake rested. If you’re seeking a stay where the setting, the garden, the architecture and the quiet matter — this is a stay worth your time.
