Villas in Mira
Mira suits a villa-touring stay on the Riviera del Brenta, midway between Padua and Venice, with Palladio's Villa Foscari among its sights. Choice is very small and homes sleep six. Mira is a long canal-side town rather than a resort, so Venice means a bus ride or a drive.

About Mira
Mira is a town of about 30,000 people whose hamlets run for more than three kilometres along the Naviglio del Brenta, a canal lined almost without a break by Venetian villas. Villa Contarini dei Leoni, built in the mid-16th century, is now the town hall, and Villa Widmann Rezzonico Foscari at Riscossa is a regular stop for canal cruises. Oriago, also part of Mira, adds a late 16th-century Gradenigo villa and the 18th-century Palazzo Mocenigo. Lagoon saltmarsh makes up a third of the municipality. Evenings are local and quiet. Homes here sleep six with three bedrooms.
