Villa Almirena | 3-Bedroom Villa in Asolo Case di San Martino

Asolo sits quietly on a Veneto hillside, a medieval town of artisan workshops and Renaissance architecture that most visitors miss entirely. Villa Almirena occupies the elevated ground above it—the kind of position where you wake to discover the entire valley has transformed overnight, mist rising from the valleys below while church bells drift up from the town centre. This is a luxury villa rental in Asolo that treats the landscape as its primary feature, with views that demand to be witnessed from every vantage point.

The property itself spans three levels of carefully restored stone and timber, where original architectural bones meet contemporary comfort. Think exposed stonework that catches morning light, wooden beams that creak with age, and furniture that whispers rather than shouts about its provenance. The 300-square-metre interior never feels cramped; instead, it unfolds deliberately, revealing each room as an invitation rather than a corridor.

Inside Villa Almirena

Villa Almirena sleeps 6 guests across 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, arranged across three distinct floors. The layout encourages both togetherness and privacy—a crucial balance for larger groups.

The ground floor centres on an open-plan living and dining space that functions as the villa’s social heart. A substantial sofa faces the fireplace, where evenings naturally gravitate. The dining table seats six comfortably, positioned beneath a chandelier that casts warm light across conversations. Satellite television, stereo equipment, and a VCR occupy the entertainment corner, though most guests report these remain largely untouched. Doors open directly onto a terrace, dissolving the boundary between interior and garden. The adjacent kitchen runs efficiently along one wall—oven, microwave, stovetop, dishwasher, and refrigerator arranged for minimal steps between tasks. A table with chairs creates an informal breakfast nook. A guest bathroom on this level services the entertaining spaces.

The first floor holds two substantial bedrooms, each with a king-size bed and en-suite shower room. Both rooms command tranquil views across the gardens below—the kind of vistas that make lying in bed a legitimate activity rather than laziness. A laundry room equipped with washing machine and dryer handles practical necessities without requiring trips into town.

The second floor comprises the master bedroom suite. The bedroom stretches beneath original timber beams, with a king-size bed positioned to capture southern light. Direct access leads to a private terrace and the upper rear garden—a personal territory that many guests claim as their sanctuary. The bathroom deserves particular attention: a stone bath tub large enough for genuine soaking, paired with a separate shower enclosure. The freestanding tub faces a window; bathing here becomes a sensory experience rather than a utilitarian necessity.

Throughout the villa, air conditioning in the bedrooms and main living area ensures comfort during Veneto’s warm months. Wi-Fi connectivity reaches every corner. VoIP telephone capability connects you to the outside world on your terms.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The gardens sprawl across terraced levels, planted with the vegetation you’d expect in this corner of northern Italy—cypress trees providing vertical accents, Mediterranean shrubs softening stone edges, flowering plants that shift with the seasons. Walking these gardens reveals multiple distinct areas, each with its own character and purpose.

The pool occupies a central terrace position. Eight metres long and two metres wide, with a depth of 1.5 metres, it operates seasonally from May through mid-to-late September. The villa’s ecological pool system maintains water clarity without harsh chemicals. On request, heating extends the season and raises comfort levels for swimmers sensitive to temperature. Sun loungers and umbrellas cluster nearby, with a dining table accommodating six, should you prefer meals poolside. A gazebo provides shade for longer afternoon sessions.

Beyond the immediate pool zone, the lawned gardens invite exploration. Additional seating and sun loungers scatter across the grass, each positioned to capture different aspects of the valley below. A barbecue permits outdoor cooking, transforming dinner preparation into entertainment rather than chore. As evening approaches, subtle lighting illuminates the garden’s architectural features and planted areas, extending the usable day well past sunset.

Two parking spaces sit at the villa entrance, sufficient for most rental parties. The upper terrace, accessible from the master bedroom, offers private morning territory away from communal spaces.

Location: Asolo and the Surrounding Area

Asolo itself demands a visit, standing roughly 30km north of Treviso in the Venetian foothills. This is not a manufactured tourist destination but a genuine medieval town where contemporary life continues. Medieval ramparts and gates remain partially intact. The Rocca fortress crowns the highest point, its crenellated walls visible for kilometres in every direction. Palazzo Pretorio fronts the central piazza with Renaissance dignity. Villa di Maser, positioned just outside the town limits, combines architectural magnificence with centuries of winemaking tradition—tastings available most afternoons.

Second Sundays bring an antiques market to Asolo’s squares, where vendors sell ceramics, textiles, and embroidered pieces reflecting the region’s artisan heritage. Local restaurants interpret Venetian tradition with rigour: sarde in saor—deep-fried sardines preserved in vinegar and onions—appears on menus throughout the town, alongside fresh pasta and risotto preparations built on local ingredients.

Treviso lies 20km south, a walled city surrounded by canals and bisected by waterways. The cathedral contains notable frescoes and an atmospheric crypt. Ancient gates pierce the city walls at four cardinal points. Piazzas host regular markets and social life continues around arcaded medieval buildings.

Vicenza, 40km southeast, holds UNESCO recognition for its exceptional concentration of Renaissance architecture by Palladio. The Teatro Olimpico, constructed in the 16th century, replicates a Roman outdoor theatre with extraordinary accuracy. Padova, 35km south, houses the Scrovegni Chapel—a modest exterior concealing frescoed interior walls that represent a watershed moment in European art history.

Venice operates as a full-day destination, roughly 70km south—approximately 90 minutes by car. The journey rewards patience: the approach across the Venetian lagoon signals arrival in a truly exceptional place. The Grand Canal announces itself as the city’s primary thoroughfare. The Rialto Bridge, ornate and purposeful, carries pedestrians across this main waterway. St. Mark’s Basilica dominates the vast piazza bearing its name, its Byzantine domes visible across the city. St. Mark’s Square itself functions as the city’s social hub, ringed by colonnades and cafés.

The Belluno Dolomites National Park rises northeast of Asolo, offering dramatic mountain scenery and serious hiking terrain. Forests, cascading waterways, and alpine meadows reward both casual walkers and experienced trekkers. The dramatic peaks provide genuine wilderness within reasonable driving distance.
