Azzeruolo (Mediterranean medlar), frangola (alder buckthorn), spincervino (common buckthorn) and other shrubs and trees belonging to the thick forest that used to cover the Venetian countryside. These species have been found, replanted and their fruits used in recipes salvaged from the past. All this information in "Oasis in the Venetian plains. Shrubs and trees".

In the heart of the Venetian countryside of San Liberale di Marcon, just behind the Venice Lagoon, the Relais agritourism Ormesani is located in an authentic naturalist oasis that conserves the rare and unique ecosystem where the lagoon meets dry land.
Water, earth, plants and animals define the gorgeous farm and give it its character, creating a real naturalist itinerary of three kilometers among the trees, plants and waterways that permit the guests of the hotel to discover the many essences and birds that find their habitat here.
Colors and fragrances of uncontaminated and carefully safeguarded nature surround the Relais and its guests, that have the privilege to walk along the natural trails, among the azzeruoli, frangole, spincervini and other plants and trees from the time when the Venetian countryside was a thick forest, transplanted with care by the Relais agritourism Ormesani. The Butterfly Garden is another unique and unforgettable experience, which houses the favorite plants and flowers of the butterflies that come here to reproduce.
Still today, the farm of Relais cultivates fruits and vegetables, raises cows and chickens (the animals’ quarters are all at least 600 meters away from all of the hotel facilities). These products from nature are transformed into wine, honey, cheeses and jams, which are the main ingredients in the kitchen at the Restaurant of the Relais agritourism Ormesani.
Among the hotels near Venice, at 20 km from the historic center, the Relais agritourism Ormesani is a rare example of hotel charm between Marcon and Venice, a sophisticated mix of traditions and modernity, where you can have an unforgettable stay to relax and renew your sense of well being.

These rooms are located on the ground floor of the Relais agritourism, which resembles a traditional country farm house reinterpreted into a modern style structure.
Simple and warm, elegant and comfortable: the interiors of the Relais are expressions of the new Italian design. The main elements are wood, glass and steel, which are combined for luxurious essential solutions that turn the Relais agritourism Ormesani into a truly charming hotel.
