Maison Matilda
Casa famiglia
Venice’s tranquil twin
Expertly curated Italian design pieces and original beams elevate lovingly restored, family-run Maison Matilda above the cookie-cutter fare found elsewhere in Treviso, making it a smart choice for those wanting to avoid the Venice crowds (you’re 40 minutes by car or train from the floating city). Rooms sport Tivoli bedside radios and Nespresso coffee machines; La Musica, our favourite, has parquet tiles that stretch across the entire top floor, a hammer-beamed sloped ceiling and a B&O sound system.

Our Favourite Rooms
True to its name, La Romantica is a love den worth swooning over for its red lacquered four-poster bed that’s king-size but feels bigger, high ceilings with white wooden beams, parquet flooring, shower for two, and peaceful private terrace with views over the courtyard. Cosy and inviting, La Musica – taking up the whole top floor – has a treehouse-y feel and is teched out with a Bang & Olufsen sound system (hence the name). ‘Best Bathroom’ prize goes to La Suite, which dazzles with its Carrera marble-clad number.

Worth Getting Out of Bed For
Forage around the markets Viale Burchiellati, Piazzale Burchiellati, Borgo Mazzini and Piazzale Matteotti, where you can find fruit, veg, clothes and flowers. There’s a fish market in the old centre on Wednesday and Saturday mornings. Cross the water to Murano, of glass-blowing fame, and buy as many colourful wares as you can get home without breakage. Taste the province’s finest prosecco with a trip north to the Follador winery, an estate that sits between Conegliano and Valdobbiadene in Col San Martino and has been producing fine fizz since 1769 (+39 0438 989566; www.folladorprosecco.com).
