Follina is a little-known town in the Veneto, a gem of a place, where travellers can sojourn to experience the unspoiled countryside of the Veneto, a region of vines and villas one does not soon forget.  Nestled in Prosecco wine country, the area sparkles like the wine it produces. 

Villa Abbazia was built around 1700 and there are records that indicate that in 1750 it was already a hotel named La Rosa. The Zanon family purchased the villa fifty years ago; in 1991, the family transformed it into a hotel, lovingly furnished and preserving the elegance of a private residence. 

Their restaurant, La Corte, opened its doors in 2002.  Although a relatively small town, Follina boasts many restaurants.  The competition does not put La Corte Restaurant at any risk.  Chef Marco Fattorel’s cuisine satisfies even the most discerning palate.  Just start with their eggplant mille-feuille in basil sauce and tomato couli and you are on your way to a meal of memory.  And of course, Prosecco is a necessary indulgence before dining, with dinner, or any time of day while one is in the Veneto.
