This Palladian villa, a beautiful
and untouched example of renaissance architectural balance, located
between Padua and Treviso, 30 km from Venice, was built in the second
half of the 16th century by one of the most powerful and noble families
of Venice.
It has always been a private home, a place of glamour and elegance;
always open to convivial pleasure and at the same time a warm welcoming
home.
The enormous 16th century complex in Palladian style is structured
with a central main building which is flanked on both sides by arcaded
wings (one of which houses the 'Barchessa' apartment, currently
a holiday rental) which frame an 'Italian' style garden with a fountain,
Greek mythical statues, flower beds, lawns and bushes.
|
| The park (70.000 m2) is fully
fenced and rich in wonderful plants and is pleasantly framed by
long rows of hornbeams, lime trees and oak trees, which meet in
front of a lovely dove cote, a chapel and a large fish pond with
running water.
Other areas consist of woods with century old trees and numerous
statues depicting realistic and fairy-like animals and humans. Close
to the main building, in a garden separated from the main park and
reserved for the gests, there is a swimming pool (9 x 6 m, 1,60
m deep, open May 1st through October 1st) surrounded by oleanders,
roses and hydrangeas.
The garden is complimented by a patio, a wooden table, ten chairs,
six deck-chairs and a barbeque/grill. A dressing room with pool
towels (changed twice a week), extra chairs and a small refrigerator
is accessible from the private garden.
Other amenities are a soccer field (inside the park) and three mountain
bikes.
There is an ample parking by the apartment entrance. |
