chioggia
It is the liveliest and most important city in the area also known as Little Venice.
Chioggia combines its historic centre filled with monuments and Venetian-style views with the liveliness of the Sottomarina waterfront during the summer. The city offers stylish boutiques as well as excellent clubs and historic restaurants where one can sample various delicacies. Chioggia is also one of Italy's most important and largest fishing ports, and it is here that you can enjoy real fresh fish.

padua
Padua is about 50 km from the Hotel Formula International, reachable in 1 hour by car. The beautiful city of the Saint is an ideal pilgrimage destination for the Basilica di Sant'Antonio, a site of great spirituality and art. For lovers of painting and art, the Scrovegni Chapel frescoed by Giotto is a must-see. If, on the other hand, your strongest passion is for nature, we recommend the botanical garden, which, with over 6000 specimens, is a shining example of the care for biodiversity.
Ferrara, one of the most characteristic and art-rich medieval cities, is about 70 km away. The Estense Castle retains its grandeur and moat, and all around the historical centre; it offers delights such as the Palazzo Schifanoia, the Duomo, its large square and other marvels of the past, including its gastronomic tradition. In the nearby municipality Codigoro, you can admire the Pomposa Abbey, one of the most significant in northern Italy.
Ravenna was for a time the capital of the Roman Empire, and is only about 1 hour and 15 minutes away from the hotel. With its mosaics of the Byzantine influence, it is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites with eight early Christian sights. It is also the resting place of the remains of the greatest poet of the Italian language: you can visit Dante's tomb here!
