Michelin Star Cooking on the Prosecco Road
Michelin Star Cooking on the Prosecco Road
From the jagged peaks of the Dolomites to the fertile banks of the Po River, the Veneto has geography as diverse as its history. We invite you to experience the real Veneto on this wonderful journey. The foothills of the Veneto Alps provide the stunning backdrop to Follina, a charming small town immersed in the Prosecco vineyards. In this setting you will find the Hotel Villa Abbazia, an extraordinary country hotel, and a member of the prestigious Relais & Chateaux family.
