Who we are
Welcome ...
This house belongs to my family since 100 years and what can be seen now is the result of at least 5 centuries of partitions and changes made in the original structure.
The house is supposed to have been built in the 16th century as a convent. Then it become the home of the merchant Farsetti.
Farsetti is also the name given to the Rio Terà (a street in Venice), where there’s the entrance to the B&B.
I will welcome you in my portico and offer you a coffee or an aperitif while showing you the house and the rooms.
I wait for you
