About this activity

DEPARTURE FROM PADUA OR ABANO / MONTEGROTTO TERME

We will first set out for the Monumental Garden of Valsanzibio, an immense symbolic garden dating back to the 17th century, which a few years ago was named the Most Beautiful Park in Italy, completely surrounded by the verdant panorama and gentle curves of the Euganean Hills. Here water features, tree-lined avenues, fountains, an intricate labyrinth and statues combine harmoniously in an allegorical path of ‘Salvation’ along which the visitor, passing through various stages, from the Portal of Diana to the Statue of Winged Time to the Dolphin Fountain, is guided in the symbolic liberation from sins.

We will then move on to visit Villa dei Vescovi in Luvigliano di Torreglia: a precious gem set in the Euganean Hills, an ancient holiday residence of the high prelates of Padua dating back to the first half of the 16th century.

Itinerary

Stop 1

2 hours Admission included

Known as one of the most beautiful gardens in Italy, the Valsanzibio Garden is world famous. 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

2 hours Admission included

A precious gem set in the Euganean Hills. 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.
