Agribella

Ca'Zen was built in the first half of the 17 th century by the Zens, a Venetian patrician family, who were big land owners in the Delta Region.
Ca'Zen and its land then passed to the Marchesi Guiccioli, and now belongs to the Avanzo.

One of Ca'Zen's most famous visitors, was Lord Byron, the great English poet, who was then very much in love with the beautiful and young Contessa Teresa Gamba, married to Alessandro Guiccioli, who was almost 40 years older than her!
In the hope of distracting his young and impetuous wife from the frivolous social life in Venice, Alessandro sent Teresa to Ca'Zen, where she was to conduct a more solitary and sober life. But this was no use: the love affair between Teresa and Lord Byron had already begun in Venice, and the two young people, certainly not discouraged, used to meet secretly in Ca'Zen! Here Byron wrote one of his most mooving poems called "Stanzas to the Po":
"River! that floweth by the antient walls, where dwells the lady of my love"

Ca'Zen now offers bed and breakfast.
Delicious breakfasts based on homemade products are served beautifully in the dining room or in the garden, or on the beautiful brick "aia", which in the old days was used for drying out crops.
In the evening, after a long day spent sightseeing, or doing sports or excursions in the Po Delta Park, our guests may relax in their own private drawing
room, and read a book next to a roaring wood fire.
For dinner, we will be happy to suggest all the best local fish and meat restaurants.
Fish is cocked beautifully in the Delta, and is one of the highlights of the region.

Ca'Zen now offers bed and breakfast, as well as reception roomsand garden, which make a perfect setting for wedding celebrations, parties and concerts...
