La struttura è situata in una ottima posizione, a pochi km. da Padova, Venezia ed altri centri; ed offre un panorama mozzafiato. L'interno è ben arredato, pulito con un ampio giardino e posto macchina. I proprietari sono cordialissimi e gentilissimi....Un posto che consiglio davvero !!!!!

We spent a wonderful week at Domus Rosarum in October 2013. Marco and Barbara were such generous and thoughtful hosts. Together, they have created a beautiful and welcoming garden retreat that we will always remember. We only wished that we could have spent more than a week in that lovely place. Domus Rosarum is located in the Monticelli area just outside Monselice, a few minutes drive from historic arqua Petrarca and the rustic Euganean Hills. The apartment is a tasteful renovation of a historical structure. The rooms are spacious and clean, and the views from every window are serene. The property is situated inside a locked gate, and the car parking is right in front of the house. Everything was well-maintained, and Marco and Barbara provided everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. They included maps, guide books, restaurant discounts, fresh fruit from their garden, and much more. We prepared our breakfasts, and a few dinners, in the modern kitchen. There was also a TV, stereo, CDs and Dvds, but we never really used these features. This was our ninth visit to Italy, but only our first trip to the Veneto region. Our travel interests include gardens, villas, art, architecture, delicious food and wine, which can all be found in abundance within short drives by car. We visited Venice, Padua, Abano Terme, Montanagna, Monselice, Arqua Petrarca, Valsanzibio, Vescovana, and Stra. This offered us a good sampling of the historic and modern cultures that co-exist in this spectacular landscape of northeastern Italy. Please don't rush or hurry when visiting Italy - leave something more to be seen on a return visit. We loved Domus Rosarum, and we are hoping we can return soon for another stay in Marco and Barbara's beautiful garden.

My wife and I, along with another couple, spent a delightful week at Domus Rosarum in September 2013. Domus Rosarum is a modernized old house, spacious and comfortable, out in the country but close to the amentities of Monselice and arqua Petrarca. Lovely grounds and most hospitable hosts, who were very helpful in answering questions about our touring plans. Excellent base for day trips to Padua, Verona, Vicenza, and Venice. Don't overlook the local attractions: Petrarch's house in arqua Petrarca, the castle in Monselice, the vineyard next door, and the garden just a couple of miles down the road. The medieval parade in Monselice the third Sunday of September is spectacular.

Marco and Barbara were great! We were 45 minutes by train to Venice where we spent a great day. Domus Rosarum is 5 minutes from the train station in Monselice where we left the car (park 10 minutes walk from the train station). Easy to do Venice in a day, and you could easily go back tomorrow. We are 2.5 hours from Cortina in the heart of the Italian alps (Dolomites) which was an awesome trip! We spent a day in Padua (Padova) which is 45 minutes away by car. There is a great shopping center with incredible food and wine in it on the way to Padova, about 30 minutes from here. There are great hiking trails which are quiet with breath taking views just 50 meters from Domus Rosarum. We spent a day at 2-3 small towns around eating in little restaurants (Arqua Petrarqua, Este,) We spent one day in Bergamo, about 2.5 hour drive. That also was great. This is an ideal place to explore northeast Italy from. The house here is huge and beautiful. We were alone, but there are 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms so 1-3 couples could easily stay here and not be in each other's hair. You do need a car. They had 2 bicycles for us to use.

We stayed for one week at Domus Rosarum. Marco and Barbara made us very welcome and comfortable. The villa was very spacious and well appointed. It had everything we needed and more to make for a very relaxing and enjoyable stay. The location is excellent. A 3 minute walk to a lovely restaurant (Costa), and a 5 minute drive to Monselice which is a great town. The train from Monselice takes you to Padua in 20 minutes, Venice in 45 minutes. There is plenty of easy parking near the railway station. If you stay here do not miss the Barbarigo Garden and it's hedge maze planted in the 1600's. It is very closeby.

Marco and Barbara, he a doctor and she a lawyer, greeted us as we arrived and invited us into their home next door. They welcomed us with wine, tea, juice and a delicious homemade cake. They gave us maps, brochures and told us about the area and then took us to a store nearby to purchase staples for our kitchen. There were 4 of us, two couples, and the two story house with two patios was lovely and had plenty of room. Space to park our car on the grounds and short distances to many wonderful restaurants and sites. A very relaxing area, walking distance to a lovely local restaurant and a perfect location to explore. All the modern conveniences -- television, DVDs, wireless Internet, well equipped kitchen, very nice bathrooms and bedrooms. We stayed a week, which was perfect, and anything we needed, Barbara and Marco were very willing to oblige. We even did laundry there! They are the perfect hosts, helpful but not hovering. We greatly enjoyed this visit and would not hesitate to recommend it highly to a family or couples who want a lovely get-a-way. It is a place that we very easily could go back to and enjoy in the future.

Our hosts were more than welcoming and attentive. They were generous with information and time. The apartment was enormous. We were a party of three, and the accommodations were quite spacious and comfortable. We enjoyed the rustic setting very much. Large sitting area and beautiful private outdoor area. This area of Veneto offered many local historic places to visit. It was also very near World-Class sights such as Padua and Venice. We rented a car for rural travel and used the train for excursions to larger cities. Public transportation was easy and direct. All our party agrees that Domus Rosarum is definitely worthy of high recommendation. This is based on our love of privacy, rural and less touristy locations, and genuine warmth of our hosts.

In a lovely, hilly landscape, south of Padova, in the country, you drive up to stone walls and a big gate, which opens to let you into a garden with fruit trees, cats, peacocks and a large stone house. Marco and Barbara greet you warmly, offer drinks and cake, and then take you to a separate wing, with its own gate and garden, to your apartment. Unexpectedly generous space, well-equipped, 2 floors, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, a balcony, wonderful views. There was a welcoming bowl of fruit and some wine waiting for us. It may sound too good to be true, but it is indeed true. We just spent a week there, at Domus Rosarum, between arqua Petrarca and Monselice, in the Euganean Hills. It is a relatively untouristed area, with several charming small towns to explore and excellent train service to Venice (1 hour) and Padova. (The train station is a short drive away, in Monselice, where you also would buy groceries, etc.) It was all a bit of a dream of a getaway to the Italian countryside, but the part that surpassed anything we might have dreamed was the outstanding warmth and hospitality of Marco and Barbara. We felt like guests, not tenants, and would be delighted to return their hospitality any time. Recommended 100%! (Note that this is in the country, and a car is needed to get around locally. Good train service to other towns)

We spent a good week in arqua Petrarqua. Marco and Barbara are very nice people and always ready to make your stay pleasant. They give us advice about what to visit around. The house and the garden were very confortables. There are a lot of place to visit not so far from arqua Petrarqua. Realy, a good adress.

We spent a wonderful week in Marco and Barbara's property : very welcoming and helpful people, quiet place, nice garden and very well situated place to visit North Italy. Unforgettable holidays ! Thanks for everything Marco and Barbara.
