Villa Cordevigo is the perfect blend of noble palace architecture and the landscape enclosed within an estate located in the town of Cordevigo, an ancient Roman settlement, surrounded by 100 hectares of vineyards and olive groves.

The New Cocktail Bar at Oseleta Restaurant

One of the new features of the 2026 season is the south wing of the villa, where the estate’s gastronomic heart beats. Inside Oseleta Restaurant, a Michelin-starred temple of signature cuisine, the new Cocktail Bar debuts.

Designed to be the perfect prelude or grand finale to the culinary journeys created by Chef Marco Marras, this intimate space blends contemporary mixology with the spirit of the region. The signature cocktails draw from botanicals from the villa’s secret garden and, of course, from the prestigious labels of the estate’s winery, Vigneti Villabella and Villa Cordevigo.

Essentia Spa Renovation

Villa Cordevigo’s wellness oasis was reimagined in 2026 to enhance the connection between body, mind, and nature. Careful research led to Kerala, the birthplace of Ayurveda, where Divine Ayurvedic Heritage was born. Founded by Italian cosmetologist Alessandra Franceschetto, who created Tailam Vedaelements: highly functional oils, rich in natural active ingredients, designed to rebalance and revitalize the skin.

The new spaces are distinguished by natural materials and a warm, enveloping design reminiscent of the luxury of Roman caldaria (thermal bath), with its “Pompeian” reds. In addition to the Finnish sauna, Turkish bath, salt room, and whirlpool tubs, exclusive treatments and massages featuring select botanicals and oils can be booked.

The new Tennis Court: among the most beautiful in the world

For outdoor sports enthusiasts, Villa Cordevigo has inaugurated an exclusive tennis court, perfectly integrated into the estate’s centuries-old park and constructed of GreenSet®, a flooring chosen by major international professional circuits for its high technical performance.

Playing a match surrounded by the silence of the Veneto countryside, with views spanning vineyards and rolling hills, transforms every match into a true experience. And, after a match, there’s nothing better than a dip in the villa’s spectacular outdoor pool, followed by a glass of chilled wine poolside.

Yoga in the centuries-old park

Villa Cordevigo’s yoga classes take place in the enchanting setting of the centuries-old park, typically every Thursday at 9:30 a.m. until September. They are open to both relais guests and outsiders.

Maya, an expert teacher, will lead you on a journey where every movement stems from conscious breathing and blends with the tranquility of the surrounding environment.

To fully experience the magic of Villa Cordevigo and all its new features, arrive in the late afternoon and indulge in an hour of pure relaxation in the renovated Essentia Spa or by the pool, then move to the veranda of the Oseleta Restaurant and discover the creations of the new Cocktail Bar.

Let the bartender guide you in choosing a drink decorated with fresh fruit shaped like the many animals that live on the estate, before sitting down for a Michelin-starred dinner created by Chef Marras. What could be more chic?

The Secret

Villa Cordevigo also houses the 15th-century Church of San Martino, which houses one of the largest and most unique collections in Europe: thousands of relics of saints, enclosed in precious antique reliquaries made of carved wood, silver, and filigree. Local legend has it that the collection of relics creates a sort of “energy shield” of protection and peace over the entire estate.
