Description

Property 1605885686 - PEDEGUARDA

8 Bedrooms

Location and Surrounding Area
Perched on a hill with spectacular views over the surrounding valley, this magnificent eight-bedroom castle is ideally located for exploring the region’s cultural highlights and natural wonders. Offering a calm atmosphere, the property is just a stone’s throw 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 fed by the River Sile.

The property is also a few kilometres from the lovely town of Vicenza, renowned for the buildings of Andrea Palladio, Italy’s most influential architect. Inspired by the style and proportions of ancient Rome, Palladio designed the Teatro Olimpico in 1580, the oldest roofed theatre 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-l'œil effects.

The castle is also a short distance from Padua, a bustling city with an arcaded centre and three handsome market squares: Piazza delle Erbe for fruit and vegetables, Piazza dei Signori for household goods, and Piazza dei Frutti for both. Padua’s famous university, founded in the 13th century, contributes to the town’s youthful population. The main attraction is the Cappella degli Scrovegni, a chapel housing a remarkable fresco cycle completed in two years by Giotto.

Water has always been central to life in Veneto, especially in Venice, which is built on it. Venice is a unique gem sparkling in its lagoon, home to priceless works of art that represent the wealth and power of a great seafaring republic. Fascinating for adults and exciting for children, Venice is a city where everyone travels by gondola and where Carnival makes disguise de rigueur: don a cloak and mask and enjoy a game of 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, Vicenza is 75 km, Padua is 77 km, Venice is 86 km, and Verona is 133 km.
