Property 1605885686 - Pedeguarda - Veneto

8 Bedrooms - Pool

Location and Surrounding Area. Perched on a hill with spectacular views over the surrounding valley, this magnificent eight-bedroom castle is ideally located to explore the region’s cultural highlights and most spectacular natural wonders. Offering a calm atmosphere, the property is just a stone’s throw away from the town of Treviso, also known as “Little Venice”. Famous for its radicchio, this charming 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 lovely town of Vicenza, famous for the buildings of Andrea Palladio, Italy’s most influential 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 few kilometers from Padua, a busy 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 is especially true of Venice, which is built on it. Venice is a unique jewel sparkling in its lagoon, home to precious works of art representing the wealth and power of a great seafaring republic. Fascinating for adults, exciting 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.

Property 1605885686 is 76 km from Venice Marco Polo International Airport, 208 km from Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport, 313 km from Milan Linate Airport and 365 km from Milan Malpensa Airport. Treviso is 34 km from the property, 75 km from Vicenza, 77 km from Padua, 86 km from Venice, and 133 km from Verona.
