Nebe’s people
Elisabetta Neri
Founder & Managing Director | loading...
“Proudly born Emilian and happily adopted Venetian, hospitality is my passion, together with art, history, cooking, music (both classic and jazz) and, last but not least, travelling.
What’s on top of my wish list? To have time for myself, to cultivate old and new interest, and for others.
My dream in the drawer? A house overlooking the sea, surrounded by olive trees.”
Chiara Congiu
Office Director | loading...
“As you might have guessed, I grew up surrounded by crystalline waters, breath-taking beaches and mistral.
Recently adopted Venetian, I am still struggling with the effect of humidity on my curly hair.
I love travelling, dogs and sunsets over the sea.
Next on my bucket list? Travel to Lapland and see the Northern Lights”

I also like singing but people do not like it when I sing.”

My dream? A trip to Asia to taste all the local foods!”

I am always up for good food and pastries!”
