Perch in one of the recliner chairs under the sun umbrellas with a book in hand, before going for a stroll around the herb and flower gardens that surround the villa. Located in a private park spreading over 300 acres of rolling hills and green meadows, the home rests at the foot of the Euganean Hills National Park – meaning country strolls or bike rides (with bikes provided by the host) in the local vicinity are simply a must.

The entire local area offers infinite peace and serenity, yet it remains within easy reach (by car) of other small towns and villages of the region – not to mention the city of Venice which is just a fifty-minute drive away. When coming together as a group, serve up alfresco barbecued meals under the pergola paired with local Italian wine.
