The
Villa stands in a magnificent Italian-style park, a haven of peace for
guests who love the quiet of the countryside. But it is also an ideal
starting point for excursions to discover the ancient city of Treviso or
to see the medieval walled cities, Veneto mansions and the Wine and
Prosecco routes. These wind into the gentle hills where hard-working
kindly people are happy to open their wine cellars and allow visitors to
taste wine and distilled drinks, a real emotion every time.
There are eight suites in the main villa and thirty five modern rooms in
two buildings called the Barchessa and the Fattoressa. These buildings
probably older than the Villa were the former stable and barn. The
salons, staircases and suites in the Villa, all display a wonderful
array of art work including some magnificent frescoes which were
recovered by knocking off the layers of paint that covered them for
centuries after an epidemic which they could only overcome by
disinfecting the environment. And for this, the walls had to be covered
with paint. |
