We report an article by Alessandra Boiardi taken from Meetings and Congresses. Because the work, relations, productivity, they always pass through emotion too, be it an event, of stay, of conviviality.

In recent times we hear more and more often about bleisure, that is, the possibility of combining a business trip with a few days of vacation, for example by extending the business stay over the weekend. (to us of Villa Bornello also like to understand it as a situation of conviviality and business motivation away from the working walls and surrounded by greenery, even after work, even on Friday evenings, as a debilitating situation e engaging n.d.r. )

It's nothing new, but the renewed attention to work-life balance that the pandemic has bequeathed us, seems to have revived it. And it is not only from this point of view that this trend is once again being talked about. Even the binomialbleisure e MICE makes its way, but the participants of an event today are really inclined to mix the work aspect with the personal one?

The bleisure is really atrend in MICE? And how are thedestinations?

That the corporate world has changed and with it the priorities of workers is no longer a novelty. Companies are increasingly committed to improving the corporate climate and focusing onwell-being as a form of incentive and employee retention, that is, to reward employees and keep them in the company.

From the point of view of work organization, this is reflected, for example, in the decision of many companies that have experienced smart working and remote work for the first time during the years of the pandemic, to continue to offer this form of work to meet the needs of many people.

And we are also starting to talk about other forms of work "away from the desk", such as for example theworkation. How can you understand, is a term that combines the word work (Work) e vacation (vacation), but it is fair to point out that it is not – as one might think – a solution that provides, simply, to be able to work “lying on the beach”, but assumes, vice versa, a whole range of regulations.

And if these new approaches could revolutionize the world of work in a short time, what is certain is that they are already among the wishes of business travellers.

According to the’indagine di Travel for business sul workation, in collaboration with Alma Travel, who questioned his community made up mostly of travel and mobility managers, il 70% of respondents consider workation as oneopportunity to be more relaxed, even if only the 26% he claims to have practiced it in some form. The 62% he is also convinced that a period of workation would improve both life and work.

As for the bleisure, an Expedia study highlights that already in the pre pandemic for the 48% was theattractiveness of the destination in terms of liveliness to convince travelers to extend their business trip, for the 43% the fact of being in a place not to be missed from a tourist point of view,  il 38% rated the ease of moving to the destination itself and the 37% how close the weekend was.

From 'design addicted' what we are, here is the latest arrival. He is 'Ulysses' designed by Ivan Loss for Sandrigarden in the early 1980s. It is a walking stool, jaunty and ideal for picnics ( how fitting here in the park) trips or conversations in the countryside. Look at the 'brochure' – in those days it was called that – original in the final image where its uses are explained. An iconic piece son of that era and now available to our guests, or rather their backs :-). And then it's also red.

We love working on ours particular mood so different from the sumptuousness and noble storytelling of the Venetian villas. We are easy, cheeky, modern.

The design of the banqueting. Create that order that the guest likes so much. Display and not just serve. Designing a desk is designing a relationship.

Today we are hard. In the sense of hard product. We host Terex, American company producing construction cranes. They brought together who agents from Eastern Europe. (a whole day, from breakfast to aperitif, with the possibility of attending conferences and screenings. For everyone a good dose of meetings but also breaks, breakfasts, aperitifs and conviviality. In a word: networking and motivation. He big park he saw managers and agents wandering around, cellphone to ear, during breaks. Who placed the laptop under a maple tree, who on the sofa, others in the large dining table designed by Pamio, who settled in the lounge on the first floor to dominate the pond and sweep the surrounding countryside with a view. Next week we host the agents from Eastern Europe for another day of business relaxation. This one of ours mood favorites.

The businessman mixes work and fun. This, In summary, the meaning yes Blazer (business + leisure). E’ a new trend that sees business travel in its most extensive form, corroborated by a few extra days of leisure. Request: and why should I give employees holidays the day after the trips that already cost me? We want to call them benefits? They seem to have a positive impact on productivity, on the feeling of belonging to the company, on the psyche of the distant employee, also thanks to this, from feeling like a simple number. Among the side effects is stimulating creativity and ideas, to settle relations between colleagues, expand views and horizons outside the company walls, increase sociability.

Here in the villa we will soon host various groups of European agents who 'stretch’ your presence in the area for work. They come to us and enjoy afternoons and evenings of leisure sponsored by the companies for which they are representatives. To the sound of good food, wine and good music free your mind and become a team.

Corporate dinners and birthdays, team building, cooking team building, motivational, always and in any case between modern design and nature. You have some event in mind for your company?

Treviso Città e Storie non la fa semplice. Da qualche anno racconta Treviso e provincia in modo nuovo. Non rimane in superficie. Non che si vogliano escludere i consueti ‘Marca Gioiosa et amorosa’ , il radicchio rosso, il prosecco o le case affrescate. Solo loro scavano (O, giocando su di una vocale, scovano) storie piccole e grandi di un tessuto imprenditoriale attuale che, per la ricchezza che crea, diventa anche sociale, culturale, gastronomico, emotivo.

Le eccellenze classiche del territorio le sappiamo tutti. Le loro storie invece sono spesso sconosciute ai più, partono dai dettagli e raccontano esempi di qualità che fa doppiamente piacere incrociare perché letteralmente dietro l’angolo. I redattori poi imperversano. Macinano chilometri , incontrano, indagano, intervistano, fanno domande, raccolgono materiali, fotografano, impostano, affinano, cesellano e partoriscono il pezzo. In una parola fanno i giornalisti alla vecchia maniera. Una sorta di Hunter Thompson di Marca.

This piece sulla villa rende il genius loci della casa raccontandola per i suoi scopi progettuali passed e futuri. Because architecture is volume but also use. And even fantasy, come sa bene Mara Pavan, che fa attraversare ad Alice la lunetta del nostro portico-stagno per entrare in un’altra dimensione. Ed in effetti è un po’ così, and the size is very green. Qui da noi forse nessun Bianconiglio, Mad Hatter or Cheshire Cat. Però se volete una festa di ‘non compleanno’ siamo qui 🙂

Grazie Treviso Città e Storie.

E’ It was long but we did it. Natalia and Lorenzo had spotted the villa at the beginning 2020 and they chose, true to the line, to postpone the wedding twice just to have it here without masks, restrictions or gizmos of sorts. They chose the symbolic ritual in park, alongside it at lunch, entertainment for children, to the MAGE, to music, to the vintage ice cream maker with cart.

By punctuating the different moments of the day with a script that is possible here because the villa becomes a blank sheet on which customers can design their event together with us in the shadow of modern architecture. An impeccable officiant led the spouses and those present along the stages of a symbolic rite that touched solemn moments and tore a few tears that were then evaporated by the irony and music that enveloped the rite of sand. The spouses read their vows to each other in front of their children and friends and then shared the other ingredients of the day with them.

Congratulations!

Only women could add the adjective 'loving’ in the payoff of their creation to describe the gaze that this magazine turns to Treviso and its province. A thick free press that has chosen our villa to offer a gift to its loyal readers and the team. Thanks to Treviso City & Stories and to all present for an evening of those we like so much. Relax, Chatter, little formality e (TCS) community style. Among quality products, entrepreneurs, professionals and a lot desire for relationships surrounded by verde, the villa embraced those present with its long portico, playing with that once more genius loci, once a home but also a place of representation, that has accompanied her for several years now. (Photo credits: Francesco Exit and others).

It is a company meeting. Possible? Yup, they are Accenture employees (Treviso area and neighboring areas) multinational with some thousands of other colleagues scattered around Italy. The guy with the glass lying down listening to the big bosses understood the spirit we have here. Teasing you, drinks e tanto networking & chat for a midweek relaxing aperitif in a warm environment, natural and exclusive a stone's throw from Treviso. Someone even thought of coming there by bike (look down). What more could you want?

E’ what we like about the property, the fact that it was built at the time (also) by representation & networking, can still be perpetuated today in a relaxing way, not very grandiloquent or sumptuous as in other older villas. Announcement to convention centers and restaurants. Here you are at home. E, they say, if you feel.

The marriage of Margherita and Michele. This time housed in a pagoda in the center of the park , not far from the pond around which the appetizer areas are placed, welcome& spills, cheese islands, some meat, of the loaves. Relaxation area and soft aperitif among the trees.

They say that a pagoda and a pond so close to home are reminiscent of Japan. We don't mind this. The pond in turn is aligned with the large internal fireplace; the first as family communion around water in summer and the second meeting around the fire in winter. The two elements look at each other surrounded by wood, Stone, cooked marble, glass and other natural materials.

Curiosity: more and more people are asking us for a tensile structure in the greenery from which to start exploring the park or the villa. It could be a new format 🙂

Mayors, assessors, city ​​councilors, Branded banks and entrepreneurs in the villa for a branded meeting Venetex e Tiscali on the digitization of the territory, the exchange, and maintaining the wealth of companies on the spot.

Gorgeous evening, networking of level, impeccable catering, fully stocked open bar. This is the mood we like so much. ideal for companies that want to offer a format similar to their own customers or ai employees or even for a cooking team building. E, last but not least,, kissed by the sunset.

Anniversario di marriage con buffet nel parco. La libertà di potersi servire e tornare a sedersi circondati dal verde e fronte laghetto. Un’intera giornata in villa, in esclusiva per gli ospiti, that, come tutti, hanno vissuto sia gli ambienti interni che quelli external. L’informalità data dal luogo e dal ricco catering. Il tutto Reserved come piace ai nostri ospiti.

When rearranging the 'secret rooms' of the Villa you find pleasant surprises. The family of swans in travertine is designed by four hands by Enzo Mari ed Angelo Mangiarotti and produced by the brothers Manelli. Around the mid-1970s.

Experience the villa with objects from its time. Between lights, pouffs, sofas, sessions, paintings, accessories and various objects it is nice to remain consistent with the design of a house whose mood has remained intact over the decades, creating for guests and their events a little experience of architecture.

Between modern and vintage objects you are surrounded by a decidedly environment different from the classic Venetian villa, very customizable. and above all completely besieged by verde.

A company of friends. A last-minute request. A pizza on the fly.

A pizza all together, under the vaults of the villa, preceded by an aperitif on the water surface and with the tranquility of being alone.

Things that happen (and here they often happen 🙂 ) with the organization of corporate events and dinners, birthdays and the like.

As in most occasions we can't live without the thousand shades of red. You are thinking of organizing something similar? Info who

Remnants of the setup for last night's party. Like Narcissus, Magistretti's Eclipse (1965) is reflected in the pond. Because our villa is different? Because here no Poseidons with the trident, cherubs, eighteenth-century statues or frescoes. From us only Compassi d'oro 🙂

A birthday surrounded by a thousand details. Indoors and outdoors. Caterina wanted the villa exclusively for herself and her guests who were free to visit the rooms and the peace of the park. It's our mood. That's how we are done. (Some images credits Giovanni Margara)

Take a seat. The iconic Panton chairs (strictly red) populate the villa and prepare to receive your B 🙂 sides . Produced by Vitra in the late 1960s and included in various design museums, were the first injection-molded chair design. It is good that they are here, for yours informal events and why cheeky as we like it. You can think of an idea for an event here? Need a tip? Write to us.

There was a crime a Villa Bornello. The victim, male, around thirty years old, distinct in its gray pinstripe, was found stabbed in the lounge. He was one of the guests at the NYPD dinner, that was held here with us. The year runs 1922 and all the guests are in great shape. Just before sitting down at the table, a scream tears the air. The man lies on his back with a knife in his side. The investigations are entrusted to the Chief Inspector Martina – of which, coincidentally, it is also the birthday

Making his way between ostrich boas, plumes, feathers, Borsalino, cigars and fringed skirts, Martina reaches the body. Searching him finds the first clues; others immediately follow. By pressing those present, he reconstructs the picture and in a few hours solves the case by tracing the evidence with the help of trusted assistants.

Towards evening the twist: while like Nick Carter at the end of the episode he points out the culprit, the skilled inspector is surprised by Carlotta, her most trusted collaborator and organizer of the evening than, kneeling in front of her, he hands her a ring asking her to marry her.

The costume party and the birthday murder were a surprise. But for Martina it was not the only one.

Congratulations to the brides.
