Cecchetto & Associati

What Cecchetto & Associati does

Cecchetto & Associati s.r.l. is an Italian architecture studio founded in 1990 by Arch. Alberto Cecchetto and headquartered in Mestre, Venice. The firm operates with a small core team of five employees and specializes exclusively in two verticals: luxury hotel and resort design, and winery architecture. Over 30 years it has delivered more than 100 architectural projects and 50 urban planning projects, with a portfolio of marquee references including Hotel Lido Palace (Riva del Garda), Hotel Du Lac et Du Parc (350+ rooms), Grand Hotel Lavarone, and Europe's largest winery at Mezzocorona (12+ hectares, 5M bottle capacity), alongside international projects such as the Legenda Winery in Crimea.

The studio offers an integrated professional services stack: architectural and interior design, project development, multidisciplinary team coordination, construction management (tendering, contract drafting, operational project management, inspections, occupancy certificates), consulting for property acquisitions and due diligence, and regulatory procedures management for building permits. Its technical differentiation lies in landscape integration design, underground/hypogeal winery architecture, and historical building restoration — techniques visible across both the hotel and winery portfolios. Marketing is portfolio-led, via a bilingual website, social channels, and participation in industry events including the XVI Biennale Internazionale di Architettura di Buenos Aires.

Go-to-market is direct enterprise engagement with international luxury hotel operators and winery owners, with services custom-quoted per project. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and the model is project-based rather than subscription or retainer. The firm is privately held with no disclosed external investment, no subsidiaries, and no M&A history. Strategic partnerships with Arup and PROAP (2023) and YACademy (2019) are used to extend technical capacity on bids that exceed the in-house team's scope.
