Castles of Marostica
host town offices and a restaurant but the lager part
of the crenellated
fortifications
belong to the gentlemen that today permit us to spend our holiday
in one of the towers of this Historic Residence, a unique, splendid

| Città
delle Ciliegie (cherry
town), Marostica in Jazz, La partita degli scacchi (the
chess match
) are only some of the events taking place in this village
near Padua and not far from Venice, where it seems to be holiday
the whole year along. |

The
house
has been realized taking advantage of a part of the garden
rich of vegetation and with areas with light different levels.
The peculiarity of this property is the big number of marvellous
corners
created in the garden
near and far from the house to enjoy a dinner
out with a barbecue
(there are 3 in different places), or a couple of relaxing
Jacuzzi, or a walk or simply a sun-bath
of in relax. |

A three levels ancient tower of the 14th Century, part of the fortification,
has been restored by the owner - an English, French, Spanish, Russian
and Roumenian speaking Architect that lives in another house inside
the area of the Castles - to be available for his guest.

rank garden, 5 towers, 2 castles and the crenellated fortifications.
In
the park a glass-house has two Jacuzzi, one for hot and the other
for cold water, to permit hydrotherapy for a couple. In the garden
while bathing, watching without being seen, thanks to the type of
glass.
A very nice and large
greenhouse
among the trees is furnished with table and chairs for
a dinner in case of rainfall, to maintain the pleasure of the environment.

halide lamps projector seems to be a set for photos. |

on the 300 steps throughout the park on the hill is an effort paid
back by a nice solarium and the deck with table and chairs.
