This property, belonging to
Conte Emo Capodilista, whose family settled in Montecchia in the 11th
century, lies in the Veneto region, 15 kms south of Padua on the border
of a regional park - the Eugenean hills - within easy reach of the
famous historic villas of the Veneto, many of them built by the great
Italian architect Andrea Palladio, as well as the northern Italian
cities of Venice, Vicenza, Verona, Mantua, Rovigo and the Lake district. |
| The immediate
surroundings, for instance Este, Monselice, Montagnana and Arquà
Petrarca, or the impressive abbey of Praglia, still within sight
of La Montecchia, offer a cornucopia of cultural sights.
The medieval castle, the Castello del Mottolo, is at
the heart of the estate, while the so-called Hunting Lodge, an elegant
16th century villa which is considered one of the highlights of
the area, overlooks the estate from a hill at the foot of the Eugenean
regional park. |
 |
 |
Today the
estate and its owners are wholly dedicated to the production of
high-quality wine which has been increasingly winning accolades
from leading wine critics all over the world.
Part of the castle and 3 apartments within the buildings
of the estate have recently been completely renovated with every
comfort for discerning guests, to be rented by theweek to those
interested in a cultural and/or wine and food orientated holiday
in an incomparable setting. |
| La
Casa di Maria
The two-storied Casa di Maria is attached to the administrative
offices of the estate. The garden belonging to the house - a lawn
with fruit trees, surrounded by a hedge and furnished with a large
table and reclining chairs - is reached across the gravel courtyard. |
 |
 |
The house consists of a hall, kitchen with dining area and open
fireplace, sitting room and bathroom on the ground floor and two
twin bedrooms on the first floor.
Due to a slightly - but only slightly - impared grade
of privacy, potential clients should keep in mind that this house
was designed for travellers who plan to be out sight-seeing most
of the day, but wish to return to a comfortable abode in the evenings.
The house is equipped with a dishwasher, washing machine
and central heating. Prices are indicated for 4 persons. |
