Al Reparo

Just a few steps from the Piave River, where once stood the “repari” to protect fields and farmhouses from floods, this ancient rural house rises, bearing witness to centuries of history and hard work. Mentioned in a 17th-century map, it was purchased by the great-grandparents in the early 1900s when they operated the nearby mill. Since then, it has always been a refuge: for those seeking employment, for family members on vacation, and today for travelers in search of peace and authenticity.

The house, nestled in the countryside of Onigo, has been renovated by Leonella and Lorena, who, with the help of family, have preserved its original spirit by combining ancient stone with the comforts of modern technology. The three rooms — Prato on the ground floor, Alba, and Olmo on the first floor — all feature spacious private bathrooms. The interiors have been designed to ensure maximum comfort, thanks to complete thermal insulation, heat pump air conditioning, and LED lighting. The exterior retains traditional forms, while the surrounding nature continues to narrate the seasons with winter snowdrops and the spectacle of fireflies in early summer evenings.

Every morning, a wholesome breakfast is served, featuring homemade pastries, garden-fresh fruit, and products sourced from local businesses. The expansive garden, crossed by a small stream, is the perfect spot to unwind, read, listen to the sounds of the countryside, or admire the mountains of the Veneto foothills.

Onigo is located in the municipality of Pederobba, within the UNESCO MAB Biosphere Reserve of Monte Grappa and just a few kilometers from the Prosecco Hills, which are also a UNESCO World Heritage site. The location of the house allows for quick access to charming villages such as Asolo, Maser with its Palladian villa, Possagno with the Gypsotheca of Canova, Montello, Follina, and Serravalle. Venice, Padua, Treviso, and Vicenza are easily reachable by train or car, as are the Dolomites. Cycling enthusiasts will find an invitation to explore the area at a leisurely pace along the nearby Piave cycle path and the secondary roads, amidst vineyards, trattorias, and unforgettable views.
