Spring is the best time to visit the surroundings of Campagna Lupia: the mild climate and flowering trees welcome visitors in a relaxing and suggestive atmosphere. The cities are not as crowded as at other times of the year and exploring the Riviera del Brenta, Venice, and the surrounding places is an absolute pleasure for all senses.
Why not take advantage of Easter for a weekend out of town based on history, nature, and good food, staying at the Hotel Antica Corte Marchesini in one of our comfy rooms in classic Veneto style?
Let’s see together how to celebrate Easter in this luxuriant area with architectural wonders and historical traditions
Spend your Easter on the Brenta Riviera
Relaxing parks rich in history and vegetation, imposing Villas guardians of mysterious secrets and characteristic food and wine welcome visitors to the Brenta Riviera, just 11 minutes by car from our beautiful hotel. In this historical and scenic area of great value, you are spoiled for choice on the wonders to visit.
Spending Easter on the Brenta Riviera means strolling among 17th and 18th-century villas characterized by frescoes signed by artists of the caliber of Giambattista Tiepolo and Canaletto, gardens with flowering greenhouses, furnishings from the past such as refined beds canopy and labyrinths in which to get lost among rare beauty. Status symbol of the patriciate of the Serenissima, each Villa tells a story and represents a precious gem to be discovered.
After a visit to the Villas that most attract your attention, you could continue your Easter weekend tasting some typical delicacies of the place. Result of a centuries-old Venetian and Chioggia tradition, the Riviera del Brenta offers a menu extraordinarily rich and varied, with seasonal dishes such as the typical moeche that you can taste right for Easter.
If you love the taste of the sea, we suggest you try the exquisite sardines in saor, cuttlefish in Venetian style, and creamed cod or eel with tomato sauce. For any recipe you choose, remember to round off your coastal meal with the typical sgroppino, a refreshing and digestive drink based on vodka, Prosecco, and lemon sorbet.
A day in Venice for an unforgettable Easter weekend
Famous for its canals, historic buildings, and timeless charm, Venice is ideal to spend the Easter weekend without the typical crowds of tourists. Among the traditions of the Serenissima, on the occasion of the festivity, the exchange of painted eggs takes place in San Marco square: the Venetians have the habit of meeting to give each other hand-decorated eggs, a symbol of rebirth and prosperity.
Another unmissable activity during Easter in Venice is the procession of the Mysteries, a parade of historical costumes held on Good Friday: the procession leaves from the Church of San Giovanni in Bragora and crosses the streets of the historic centre, arriving up to Piazza San Marco. The flea market is also set up here for Easter, where you can also buy souvenirs and sweets typical of the holiday.

In a Standard or Superior room, you can share two days with those you care about with a sweet chocolate surprise upon your arrival and a day in the magnetic Venice.
