This splendid villa was built by an apprentice of Palladio’s in
1620 as country estate of the Counts of Ferramosca, a Venetian
aristocratic family.
It’s located in a green and hilly area in the heart of the
Berici Hills, close to Vicenza, birth city of Palladio. The villa
offers a magnificent panorama full of castles and vineyards on the
hills.
This is, in fact, an area where you can find excellent wines and
sample typical Venetian dishes, such as ‘baccalà alla
vicentina’ (Vicenza-style cod fish) and ‘risi e
bisi’ ( risotto with peas).
The villa was recently renovated and is decorated with valuable
antique pieces dating back to the 16th and 17th Centuries, Persian
rugs, fine art objects and paintings, splendid Murano chandeliers and
typical Venetian flooring.
The owners of the villa live in the adjacent annex and are happy to
extend their hospitality to welcome guests.
From the villa one can easily reach Vicenza (12 Km), Padua (40 Km),
Verona (40 Km), Bassano del Grappa (35 Km), Venice (60 km), Lake Garda
(60 Km).
In the nearby surrounding area there are two golf courses, a riding
school and a well-equipped gym with a spa and beauty centre.
