If you are looking for a different way of discovering the Venetian country side, and don’t want to stay in a hotel, please come and try our rural tourism in Gambarare di Mira (see map): Santa Barbara is a large brick house from the late nineteenth century, typical of the architecture of the Venetian countryside. It was conceived as a farm with stables. After a thorough renovation and transformation campaign, it now comprises six apartments, one of which we occupy. It is surrounded by a large fenced garden with trees providing abundant shade, a large grill, and several tables for outdoors eating. We recently built a magnificent swimming pool (14m x 7m), which can be used from May 1 to September 30, offering ideal relaxation after an exciting daytrip to Venice! As we have children ourselves, yours are naturally welcome and they will find many games to play outdoors. A washing machine and a dryer are available to our guests in the laundry room, at the rate of 4 € each. There you’ll also find an ice maker, lovely for those very hot days! Our house is equipped with broadband Wi-Fi connection, which will allow you to surf the Internet (please contact us for use instructions and prices). For those of you who play tennis, we have an agreement with the Mira Tennis Club (1,5 km) which provides 4 outdoors courts (3 in red clay surface and 1 in synthetic grass carpet) and 2 inside courts in red clay surface. You can rent tennis rackets and tennis balls at the Club. The house is surrounded by 40 hectares of agricultural land, without smog or traffic, which you unfortunately find in every city nowadays. Santa Barbara is 16 km away from Venice, 25 km from Padua and 35 km from Chioggia and its beaches, right in the heart of the famous “Brenta Riviera”. You can also easily reach the Lido beaches, with a beautiful 25 minutes "cruise" across the Venetian lagoon. Departure pier is 10 minutes away from our home. For those of you who would like to taste the delicious Venetian cuisine, there are plenty of fantastic restaurants around, and beautiful food markets almost every day in the neighbourhood.
