I feel at home

Portego mio: at the center of it all

Padua is a young and innovative city with one of the oldest universities in the world. It is located at the eastern edge of the Po Valley, about 10 km north of the Euganean Hills and about 20 km west of the Venice lagoon.

The ideal place for a vacation or business stay

The house stands out for its wide portico overlooking the park. The portico, a typical architectural element of Padua since the Middle Ages, is a distinctive feature in the city’s main squares and streets. From this tradition comes the term “Pòrtego,” a Venetian word for portico.

The Portego mio – recently restored and close to the city – offers generous space and outdoor access. The rooms and cozy living room, along with the kitchen, will allow you to be independent and live at your own pace. This place combines the charm of the past with all the modern conveniences. Perfect for recharging your energy, in the silence and quiet of nature. But also, to focus, working in absolute tranquility.

An experience that will leave unforgettable memories

In Selvazzano Dentro, just a few steps from Padua
