Villas

Ca' Marcello is a 4 bedroom, 3 bath Palladian villa built in the second half of the 16th century by the Marcello family, one of the most powerful and noble families of Venice. Villa Marcello was always a private home, a place of glamour and elegance; always open to convivial pleasure and at the same time a warm welcoming home. Count Vettor Marcello and his family live here now, happily opening its doors to those who wish to appreciate it's refined splendor. The villa is a beautiful and untouched example of renaissance architectural balance. The 16th century complex in Palladian style is structured with a central main building which is flanked on both sides by arcaded wings (one of which houses the unit we offer here for rent) which frame an Italian style garden with a fountain, Greek mythical statues, flower beds, lawns and bushes. The park (70.000 m2) which surrounds the villa is fully fenced and rich in wonderful plants and is pleasantly framed by long rows of hornbeams, lime trees and oak trees, which meet in front of a lovely dove cote, a chapel and a large fish pond with running water. Other areas consist of woods with century old trees and numerous statues depicting realistic and fairy-like animals and humans. Here you can enjoy jogging, fishing in the large fish pond, playing soccer or just get pleasure from walking all around the flower beds and the natural paths

Nearby the property you can enjoy naturalistic itineraries, walking in the Regional Park of the Sile River (5 km), visiting the Brenta Riviera and other enchanting destinations.
