Description

Tenuta Ca’ Zen dates back to early 1700s and was built by the Patrician Venetian family zen. Then it went to Marchesa Guiccioli and so to the current Casalicchio Avanzo family. In 1970 Elaine Avanzo Westropp Bennett, originally from Southern Ireland, married Cavaliere Pericle Avanzo. Elaine had the idea to open this huge country house to Italian and foreign guests eager to visit the less known but very beautiful part of Italy: the Po Delta Park, which is between some of the most famous art heritage cities like Venice, Ravenna and Ferrara. The Estate, visited by the poet Lord Byron in the early 1800s, who fell in love with the pretty Teresa Guiccioli, has hosted also the Belgian Royal Family, Rupert Everett, Giuseppe Cederna, and world-class musicians. Ca’ Zen offers today a bed and breakfast service, it is an amazing location for events, an ideal starting point for natural excursions in the Po Delta, by bike, by boat, riding or on foot. 

The Po Delta, with its seven branches, river banks, islands, rice fields, fishing valleys and sandy beaches, is a paradise that hosts more than 300 species of resident and migratory birds. The excursions in flat-bottomed boats are so magic: you will be with fishermen who will show you the mysterious world of fish and shellfish in the Sacca at sunrise, who are able to convey the spirit of the Po, the tides, the changing of the moon, the eternal meeting between the River and the Sea, the flight of the birds. Excursions by bike and boat are so lovely, with some stops during the way to taste “bisato alla griglia” or other local fish. The Delta is entirely viable by bike, with easy and pleasant routs, along banks, valleys, water and land. Not far are the amazing cities of Chioggia, Comacchio, Mesola and the beautiful Abbey of Pomposa. In Ca’ Zen it is possible to have dinner previous reservation, in front of the lighted fireplace, or in the garden during the warm Season.

There are 9 rooms, located in the West and East wing of the Villa. In addition to this, on the ground floor, there are our little restaurant, the reading room where to relax, the Salone used for events, ceremonies, meetings, workshops, receptions, yoga lessons (it can welcome 120 people and it can be arranged with videoprojector, flipchart board, work tables,...). We offer B&B and on request we organize special aperitives and dinners during which you can taste our local food, our own BIO olive oil and wines.
