Hotel Villa Michelangelo Arcugnano , near Vincenza
Basking in glorious sunlight from its hilltop perch , the four-star Palladian-style country house hotel occupies a pretty rural spot , nestling amid the hillsides in the heart of the Veneto . Capped by terracotta roofing , its noble 18th century walls extend along the crest of a hill and take in picturesque views over refined lawns and across the rolling landscape . You can enjoy a meal on the terrace here , or seek the outdoor pool for a refreshing dip surrounded by age-old olive trees . A covered swimming pool is also available . The natural light provided by Hotel Villa Michelangelo ’ s exposed position makes for bright and airy interiors which are complimented by a vibrant colour scheme . In the lounge and library , effervescent yellows and oranges are featured in soft furnishings , while antique furniture and original ceiling beams speak of the property ’ s age . Meanwhile , lofty ceilings are exploited in suites with floor-to-ceiling windows , while rooms offer a distinctly more traditional style . At La Loggia restaurant each guest is treated to a high standard of excellence . There are four elegant dining rooms to choose from for enjoying buffet breakfasts , snacks and lunches as well as evening meals including the sun-drenched conservatory-style Portico room and the more refined Melograno room with its grand piano .
