About Richmond

Richmond is one of Melbourne’s most cosmopolitan inner city areas. Trams to Chapel Street and Toorak Road shops, the CBD, Southbank, and St. Kilda beach are close by. Many cafes and designer shopping outlets, the Botanical Gardens, Tennis Centre and MCG are within walking distance. The Yarra River forms the southern boundary of this lively suburb, its placid waters acting as a counterfoil to the bustling shopping and restaurant strips.

Situated in cosmopolitan Richmond, one of the most popular inner city areas of Melbourne, the accommodation at Villa Donati is just minutes from the CBD and the main entertainment, culinary, sporting and shopping precincts.

Historic Villa Donati is a unique mix of the contemporary and antique. Vivid, stylish, reminiscent of old-world Europe, Villa Donati has everything for the discerning traveller seeking quality bed and breakfast accommodation close to the city.

The landmark two-storey Victorian villa is a classic example of Italianate architecture. Built in 1885 as the private residence of the distinguished architect John Bernard Augustus Koch, mayor of Richmond in the late 1880's, the property then became the residence of the Anglican Archbishop, the 'Moulin Rouge' massage parlour and more recently a doctor's surgery.

Today Villa Donati is a quiet, private retreat, the perfect place to relax and indulge your senses. Ensuite bedrooms are individually furnished and appointed with quality soft furnishings, crisp white linen, air-conditioning and hydronic heating.

Visitors to Villa Donati enjoy the ambience, the gourmet breakfasts and the boutique hotel feel of this charming bed and breakfast accommodation in one of the truly cosmopolitan parts of Melbourne.
