Nestled in the UNESCO-listed hills of Valdobbiadene, Villa Sandi has unveiled a splendid new chapter in Italian enotourism with Sole and Luna, two eco-chic cottages tucked within the verdant embrace of Locanda Sandi, a lovingly restored early 20th-century Venetian farmhouse that retains its timeless charm. These sustainable havens embody Villa Sandi’s vision: refined, responsible hospitality that celebrates the land and invites guests to savour experiences deeply rooted in the Prosecco region’s viticultural tapestry. For over three decades, the estate has championed its heritage, welcoming over 500,000 visitors in 2024 alone and cementing its role as a beacon of Venetian wine culture and beauty. “With Sole and Luna, we continue a philosophy that has always guided us: a diffused hospitality that enhances the landscape and delivers authentic experiences,” says Giancarlo Moretti Polegato, President of Villa Sandi. “Enotourism is a vital tool to share our craft and the splendour of our hills.” Named after the primal symbols of day and night, east and west, the cottages blend seamlessly into the garden of Locanda Sandi, a GST-certified bastion of sustainable tourism.
Crafted with FSC- and PEFC-certified timber, reclaimed materials, and high-efficiency systems like solar panels and heat pumps, they offer superb thermal and acoustic comfort with minimal environmental footprint. Every detail, from aged wooden floors to warm-hued furnishings, echoes local craftsmanship, beckoning guests to pause and rejuvenate amid vineyards and open skies. Locanda Sandi, the heart of this territorial celebration, welcomes visitors with six Venetian-style rooms, a kitchen rooted in tradition, and evocative spaces like a majolica fireplace-crowned loft or a veranda overlooking a herb garden. The cottages tap into a surging global fascination with the Prosecco hills, bolstered by the new Prosecco Way and the anticipated tourism boom for the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympics. With Sole and Luna, Villa Sandi reaffirms its role as a cultural and sustainable hub, where wine sparks a broader narrative of beauty, mindfulness, and devotion to the land, offering an experience that marries elegance, nature, and deep-rooted tradition.
