Hotel Villa Michelangelo Vicenza – Starhotels Collezione Unveils Newly Redesigned Rooms and Suites

Nestled on the slopes of the Berici hills, Hotel Villa Michelangelo Vicenza – Starhotels Collezione has long been a peaceful retreat for travelers seeking authentic hospitality just minutes from the historic center of Vicenza. Today, following an ambitious renovation of all rooms and suites, the property introduces a refreshed visual identity rooted in the value of Italian craftsmanship and a concept of luxury defined by subtle yet unforgettable details. The restyling was led by interior designer Carlotta Oddone, whose vision is built on a few key principles: uniqueness, a renewed concept of luxury in high-end hospitality, and the celebration of the “invisible details” of fine craftsmanship - elements that quietly transform each space into a lived experience. Originally built in the 18th century as a Palladian-style country residence for the Tomi family, a long-established local family, the villa passed through several noble owners before becoming a hotel in the late 1970s. Today, with its exposed beam ceilings, traditional Venetian terrazzo floors, and a five-hectare park dotted with centuries-old trees and olive groves, the property embodies the spirit of a living historic home - at the heart of Starhotels Collezione philosophy. The redesign draws inspiration from the surrounding Vicenza landscape, balancing two distinct visual themes: the organic, evocative nature of floral motifs and the structured rhythm of geometric stripes, which introduce a contemporary edge. Each of the 52 rooms and suites has been conceived as a unique space, while maintaining a cohesive color palette: each room is entirely one of a kind. Colors and custom-designed textiles play a central narrative role. Fabrics, specially printed on velvet from Oddone’s Rosemarie and Stripes collections, are used across furnishings and serve as a unifying thread throughout the project in its various colorways. Headboards, lamps, seating, and trims share recognizable forms and moods, yet are expressed through ever-changing combinations and tones. In line with Starhotels’ philosophy, the renovation places strong emphasis on local craftsmanship, bringing together artisans from Vicenza with trusted Piedmont-based makers as part of the Group’s contemporary patronage project La Grande Bellezza – The Dream Factory. Tappezzeria Bruscato, located just a short distance from the hotel, handled the production and installation of curtains and headboards, while Vicenza-based artist Giorgio Bertoldo created the wall decorations. Select original furnishings from the villa have also been restored and reintegrated, reinforcing a sense of continuity with the property’s history.
