La Montecchia  sleeps 4+1
la Casa di Maria
MontecchiaPadova

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.
