We chose this place for its proximity to Venice and for its rural charms and we were not disappointed. Turns out it is quite a tourist area for its beaches, particularly for Austrians and Germans for whom it is the closest shore. It wasn't busy yet when we were there in the second week of June and we enjoyed the peace, beautiful farmland, surrounding towns. We drove to Venice without a problem (1 hr or so) and had no trouble parking outside the city. Also enjoyed a trip to Padua. The Inn itself and the property that it is on are just charming. All the appointments are sleek and new and comfortable. The breakfast offering is quite extensive and satisfying. The property is right on the Adriatic which is a real treat.

I stayed at Dune Agriturismo in July with friends. I have traveled extensively in Italy and can say without hesitation that the accomodations, service, food and wine at Dune are unparalleled. The Pasti family has renovated this farmhouse with every attention to detail. The rooms are beautiful and the bathrooms are divine! Much of what is served in their dining room is from the farm including the beef and the wine. Every meal was exceptional - freshest ingredients and simply but tastefully done. The pool is very relaxing and there is a private beach on the Adriatic just steps away from the property. Francesca and her staff go out of their way to make sure that your stay is relaxing and enjoyable. I will definitely visit again.

We stayed in this super Agriturismo establishment which is north of Venice & a haven of peace & tranquility. The accomodation is spacious & tasteful. The gardens & pool area are beautifully maintained & the short walk 'over the river & into the trees' which took you to the Adriatic coast at a spot which was never crowed was just brilliant.The food & wine (all locally produced)were top quality at an affordable price & the service provided by the Pasti family provided the unique personal touch that made this a perfect spot for couple or families with young children.

My wife and I know Italy well, and we can truthfully say that this little hotel has no peer. We stayed here for a week of total relaxation. The rooms are beautiful, large, spotless, state-of-the-art, and quiet. The restaurant manages to be both casual and elegant at the same time, and the food is the best between Venice and Trieste. Almost everything, from the beef to the wine to the pignoli nuts, comes directly from the family's organic farms. Food can't get fresher or purer than that! The grounds are extensive and manicured, and include a tennis court, soccer field, and huge swimming pool (although not designed for deep diving) with adjacent kiddie pool, and the Adriatic Sea is just a 3-minute stroll away. There's plenty of parking, and everything you might want to see in the Veneto, including Venice itself, is a short drive away. Or just stay here, as we did, and enjoy this delightful place and the charming people who own and operate it. Photos can be seen at www.adriabella.com.
