WHO WE ARE

We are Marta and Bruno, a couple from Verona driven by a passion for beauty, silence, and attention to detail.
After years in the world of fashion, design and beauty, we decided to create AQVA: a place that reflects our idea of a real, authentic, private and no-frills life.

 

AQVA was born from the desire to experience the lagoon in a different, unique way, outside of traditional schemes: a glass cube suspended over the water, where time slows down, privacy is complete, and every detail is designed to delight the senses.
Here you can enjoy the light, the calm, and the reflections of the lagoon, without ever having to leave the loft.

AQVA is not a hotel, it is not a boat: it is an experience suspended between sky and water, designed for those seeking something extraordinary, intimate and authentic.
