Ca’ Damiani dates back to the end of the 18th century; it was built to be the Residence of the Notary Damiani, sent in this part of the region by the Doge of Venice. “Damiani” is in fact a typical Venetian family name and “ca’” is the short word for “casa” (home). Situated in
Caneva, beautiful village at the foot of the mountain, the hotel has a strategic position at the border between the regions
Veneto and
Friuli Venezia Giulia. It is the ideal base to reach easily important places of interest such as
Venice, Treviso, Udine, Trieste and giving the possibility of alternative sightseeing like enotourism and wine routes, naturalistic itineraries, golf, antiquity open-air markets and typical events of the local tradition. The villa has been completely restored and transformed into an hotel in 1997. The accurate intervention tried to maintain everything unaltered so that we can welcome the guest in a charming past times atmosphere offering at the same time all modern comforts of a 4-star hotel and a friendly hospitality. The extremely quiet position makes this place even more pleasant; a
big park with secular trees such as cedars of Lebanon, magnolias, palms, cypresses, pines, oaks and vines assures peace and splendid views from the rooms.
All Ca’ Damiani is a miniature exhibition of
old clocks and period furnishings, pictures and curious objects of antiquity of great interest and value. A particularity: the rooms are not known by numbers, but by the names of famous clockmakers and this is due to the fact that the hotel owner is a passionate collector of watches and clocks. Here you can admire some rare timepieces belonging to his collection; they are real masterpieces whose originality and beauty will surprise you.
We pay a particular attention to the
morning breakfast that can also be served in the room without extra charge or
outside in the garden during summertime. The breakfast buffet is very rich: large choice of fresh fruit, biscuits, corn flakes, puddings, yogurts, variety of cheese and ham, and delicious home made cakes and jam.
