Enjoying a peaceful ambience, the poolside area offers an idyllic spot for soaking up the sun and enjoying lovely moments of relaxation in the company of a good book and a glass of prosecco. The property also includes a spacious courtyard complete with an elegant al fresco dining area with a large table.
With beautiful frescoes and plenty of natural light, the upper level features a large dining area with beamed ceilings and a sophisticated living space with a large fireplace and comfy sofas and armchairs. As the evening falls, gather around the fireplace and enjoy a glass of local wine with your loved ones.
Decorated with fine fabrics and antique furnishings, the middle level boasts four cozy and charming bedrooms. The richly frescoed living room, lit by a pair of table-mounted candelabra, leads into the lovely bedroom 1 with a beautifully carved French-size bed and an en-suite bathroom. The exceptionally romantic and rosy-hued master bedroom 2, adorned with a fresco of the Madonna and Child above the king-size bed, boasts an adjoining arched terrace offering fabulous views over the valley, plus its own en-suite bathroom with a large bathtub and shower. Two further enchanting bedrooms 3 and 4 (one with a double bed and the other with a French-size bed) share an en-suite bathroom just off their joint corridor/hall, which also serves as a breakfast room during the winter months.
The middle lower level includes three further bedrooms and a living room, providing additional space for relaxation. The spacious bedroom 5 boasts an antique wrought-iron queen-size double bed, promising relaxing siestas and a peaceful night's sleep, a lovely hand-painted wardrobe, an en-suite bathroom with a bathtub, and a spacious terrace overlooking the valley. Bedroom 6 with a coffered wooden ceiling and a painted landscape panorama depicting pheasants peacefully sitting above its queen-size double bed, and the cozy and welcoming bedroom 7 with a French-size bed share a bathroom.
The ground level is home to an entrance hall, a country-style, well-equipped kitchen featuring all the facilities you might need during your stay, a laundry room, and two staff bedrooms, one with a double bed and the other with a single bed, both sharing a bathroom. An enchanting guest bedroom 8 with an en-suite bathroom and two charmingly decorated French-size beds is adjacent to a living room with a monumental fireplace, which shares an adjoining loggia offering valley views.
The property’s timeless charm combines with all the conveniences of modern living: TV with satellite channels and Sky TV, Bose speakers, wireless Internet access and heating, hair dryer in each bathroom, and a parking space for four cars. Please note that the maid (or the maids, two) lives in the property, in a room near the kitchen, on the ground level.
Nestled on a hill with breathtaking views over the surrounding valley, this marvelous eight-bedroom castle is perfectly situated to explore the region’s cultural highlights and most striking natural wonders. Granting a calm ambiance, the property is just a stone’s throw away from the town of Treviso, also known as “Little Venice”. Famous for its radicchio, this lovely medieval town features buildings with decoratively painted façades and a network of waterways deriving from the River Sile.
The property is also a few kilometers from the charming town of Vicenza, well-known for the buildings of Andrea Palladio, Italy’s most prominent architect. Inspired by the style and proportion of the buildings of ancient Rome, in 1580 Palladio designed the Teatro Olimpico, the oldest roofed theater in the world. The scenery, designed by Vincenzo Scamozzi for the first production, creates an illusion of long streets receding to a distant horizon through trompe d’oeil effects.
The castle is also a short distance from Padua, a lively city with an arcaded center and three handsome market squares: Piazza delle Erbe sells fruit and vegetables, Piazza dei Signori supplies household goods, and Piazza dei Frutti offers both. Padua’s famous university, founded in the 13th century, accounts for the town’s youthful population. But the main attraction is the Cappella degli Scrovegni, a chapel home to a remarkable fresco cycle completed in two years by Giotto.
Water has always been part of people’s lives in Veneto, and this especially concerns Venice, which is built on it. Venice is a unique gem sparkling in its lagoon, home to valuable works of art representing the wealth and power of a great seafaring republic. Captivating for adults, inspiring and mysterious for children, Venice is a city where everyone goes by water on gondolas and where Carnival has made disguise de rigeur: wear a cloak and a mask and play hide and seek.
