VILLA CONTARINI

VILLA CONTARINI – A VENETIAN PALACE TO DISCOVER

A short distance from our B&B in Rosà, you will find the splendid Villa Contarini, an imposing building with over 180 meters of façade and surrounded by a vast historic park.
The villa, located in Piazzola sul Brenta in the province of Padua, is a magnificent example of a Venetian period residence, designed for the representation and entertainment of patrician families.

WHAT TO SEE AND WHAT MAKES VILLA CONTARINI UNIQUE

The majestic main façade, wide and scenic, welcomes visitors in an atmosphere of great elegance. (magicoveneto.it)
The Galleria delle Conchiglie, a room richly decorated with a marine theme and ornamental symbols, a testament to the wealth and art in the service of architecture.
The vast historic park that extends behind the villa: tree-lined avenues, ponds, wetlands, water channels – perfect for a walk immersed in nature and history.
An ancient and layered history: the villa stands on a medieval structure (a castle from around the year 1000) and has undergone centuries of transformations to reach its current form.
