The furnishing is antique, original, neo-classical, the prints and the engravings are English and Italian, the paintings are Italian and French, the lamps and chandeliers are typically Venetian and of Murano crystal.

A journey back into history and into art, under the care of Leopoldo Montresor, an expert traveller and great-grandson of the famous writer Emilio Salgari who in his novels of adventure described the magical and enchanted Orient without ever having been there.

Every detail of Villa del Quar has been given meticulously thought, every element is essential and consistent with the sophisticated setting.

The 5 five star Hotel Villa del Quar, opened in 1992, has 18 double rooms and 10 suites, of which some have double bathrooms, furnished with original antique furniture of neo-classical style, and providing every available comfort. 3 suites are at ground level and have at their disposition gardens of their own.

The Arquade restaurant is arranged in two rooms, the first called Trésor, with a carved wooden ceiling, is the more intimate with 6 round tables. Pale tablecloths in a material particularly pleasing to the touch. The chairs are in the Directoire style; on the walls antique German and Italian prints. Precious touches are provided by the altar panels from an 18th century church and by the late 19th century English reproduction cabinet, once a bookcase and which now contains the restaurant’s collection of distillates (Whisky, Calvados, Armagnac).

The second room, called Eurosia, with seven round tables, was once a small Church and has a vaulted ceiling. It is lit by a great central chandelier in Murano crystal. Here the colour blue predominates in the drapes and the 4 Venetian torches. A church portal with blue arabesque designs serves as a frame for a mirror. The restaurant is very beautiful outside in the summer, with views over the garden and surrounding hills covered with cherry trees, vineyards and cypresses.

In the evening a pleasant cooling breeze comes down from the hills, mitigating the hot summer temperature, making for a very enjoyable stay.
