Hotel
Claudia Augusta, Casale sur Sile, Treviso
The Hotel is located inside
the River Sile Nature Park just a few kilometres from Treviso and Venice.
The name of the Hotel is taken from its very siting, in the immediate vicinity
of the Claudian Augustean way which was named after Roman Emperor Claudius
(41-54 AD). According to epigraphic sources (two milestones unearthed in
Rablà and Cesiomaggiore), Claudius had this important arterial road
built in 46 AD following a layout originally designed by his father Druso
at the time of his military offensives against Norico (present-day Austria)
in 16-13 BC. The hotel has 32 rooms, all very spacious, which have
been designed with both couples and families with children in mind. The
park, the ample parking facilities, and the fact you can reach Venice and
Treviso so easily will all contribute to making your stay in Veneto extremely
enjoyable. |
