Batisesola: the country house.

A few kilometers from Este Centro, surrounded by the picturesque panorama of the Po Valley and the Euganean Hills and immersed in the vineyards cultivated in Cabernet and Garganega as well as olive trees and woods, the estate looks like a typical Venetian hill house owned by generations of Dalla Valle family.

Strange name, you will say, but what does Batisesola mean?
batisesolaThe word derives from the Venetian dialect, and means “Fioraliso”, or a flower that could be intertwined in the “Sesola” – sickle that was Battuta – “bater”.

 

Batisola also means firefly in dialect, because in the evening after the harvest the workers beat the scythe, sesola, and in the operation they created a whole series of sparks that looked like fireflies.

The hill where the estate is located is still luxuriant with cornflowers, and once also of fireflies, for this reason it was so called.

Construction subjected to a skilful restoration that has respected the ancient structures, offers accommodation in rooms furnished with antique Venetian furniture, and modern, with simplicity and functionality.

Stone, bricks, terracotta, wrought iron bring out the elegance of the furnishings. The ground floor opens onto a bright living room for breakfast and your lunches / dinners with the large fireplace, overlooking the hills.

In the summer you can enjoy breakfast in the garden, on the outside tables, surrounded by greenery, in the silence, broken only by birdsong when waking up in the morning.

The 4 rooms, spacious and different from each other, are furnished with antique Venetian furniture, with fabrics in warm colors, with a small but functional bathroom.

The position of the Batisesola in the SOUTH verses of the Euganean Hills is a strategic position both for cyclists and mountain bikers, as a departure for the cycle paths and in the Euganean Hills Park. and as a departure for sightseeing in our Veneto region in the direction of major attractions such as Venice, Padua, Vicenza Verona and all the most interesting tourist centers of the area, including the sea, with parks such as Rosolina, or the mountain towards high floor of Asiago easily reached by the new Valdastico motorway.
