Tour to Villa dei Vescovi and the Valsanzibio Garden

The Garden is located in Galzignano Terme, a small town in the heart of the Euganean Hills. This area, from the beginning of the 14th century, was preferred by the Venetian nobility as the perfect location for their marvellous Venetian Villas: it was a symbol of economic power and, at the same time, an oasis of peace and tranquillity.

Villa dei Vescovi, the ancient holiday residence of the high prelates of Padua, dates back to the first half of the 16th century and is the result of a series of transformations, decorations and extensions. It will be exciting to be enchanted by the harmonious way in which the building binds itself to the surrounding landscape and by the beauty of the Euganean Hills seen through the great arches of the loggias and the hanging courtyard. Inside the Villa we will pass through the noble rooms, the bedroom, the lounges and the large and luminous hall where our eyes will be gladdened, step by step, by Lambert Sustris' splendid cycle of frescoes with bucolic motifs.
