A Five-Star Hilltop Villa Hotel in Northern Italy

The views from the hilltop town of Asolo are so magnificent it has been nicknamed the Village of 100 Vistas. Just outside the medieval walls, Hotel Villa Cipriani shares this stunning setting overlooking rolling hills and valleys dotted with olive and pomegranate trees. This beautiful boutique hotel is equally alluring. Once a private palazzo owned by the English poet Robert Browning, it has retained its historic charm while offering every modern comfort, from a sleek spa, fine Italian dining, and spacious guestrooms to a gorgeous garden and picturesque outdoor pool with a Jacuzzi surrounded by sun loungers — a perfect setting for admiring those views.

• Rest in one of 29 elegant guestrooms and suites, furnished with antiques and showcasing Italian craftsmanship, including hand-painted tiles
• Stroll through gorgeous gardens planted with olives and cypresses,
• Swim in an award-winning hilltop pool and Jacuzzi that looks out over the valley below
• Explore the countryside of Treviso Province on a walking tour or mountain bike
• Work out with a personal trainer in the gym or book private Pilates and Nordic walking classes
• Be pampered at the wellness center with a sauna, Turkish bath, and an array of health and beauty treatments
• Have a cocktail at the bar and dine on regional and Mediterranean cuisine at Villa Cipriani restaurant; the classic beef carpaccio was invented by the hotel’s first manager

Hotel Villa Cipriani is a spectacular retreat within easy reach of some of northern Italy’s most beguiling sights — and some of its best produce. From here, you can join the prosecco wine route or visit the home of grappa brandy within minutes; longer journeys will bring you to historic Treviso and to the iconic cities of Venice and Padua. The hotel has hosted royalty, celebrities, and other illustrious guests such as the Queen Mother, the Duke of Edinburgh, Catherine Deneuve, Kim Basinger, Sharon Stone, Aristotle Onassis, and many others.
