Enjoy a relaxing holiday in a genuine eighteenth-century Venetian Villa. In the province of Padova, less than one hour from Venice and other art cities in the Veneto, at the foot of the "Park of the Euganean Hills", you can spend some relaxing days in a romantic place in the old town of Este, in a quiet location behind the walls of Castello dei Carraresi. In the recently refurbished Barchessa di Vigna Contarena you can feel the atmosphere of former times without foregoing comfort. We are located near the most beautiful and famous art cities of the Veneto region, such as Padova, Vicenza, Verona, the wonderful villas of the Brenta Riviera, Montagnana with its entirely preserved town wall... and of course Venice!!! Besides its cultural and historical treasures, the region boasts interesting natural spots, which can be explored in the Park of the Euganean Hills on foot or by bike. The hiking trails and bike paths run along the canals and start in front of the villa. In nearby trattorias and farms you can taste and enjoy the local specialties.
