Start your itinerary with a visit to Villa Maser, a Venetian Villa and UNESCO World Heritage Site, with their exclusive “Breakfast in a Villa” experience, enjoying an enchanting breakfast surrounded by the splendour of Paolo Veronese’s frescoes. Or explore the Villa with the “Exploring the Villa and its Tempietto” guided tour, where you can enjoy an exclusive visit to the Tempietto, the architect Andrea Palladio’s final masterpiece.

If you’ve chosen the early morning “Breakfast” option, we suggest adding another wonderful experience in a second Palladian-style Villa. Choose the “Classic Experience” in nearby Villa Sandi and enjoy a tour of the ancient barrel room dating back to 1700, where prestigious red wines are patiently aged in French oak barriques.

In the early afternoon, head to Castelfranco Veneto, which is just 30 km from Villa Maser and Villa Sandi, to Villa Chiminelli and enjoy the “Discovering the Heritage of the Villas” experience. An exclusive tour in the company of the Villa’s owners who will help you discover the Heritage of the Villas. Through stories, interesting facts and anecdotes, they’ll describe key moments in the history of this residence, which has been passed down through generations and protected with passion. Alternatively, you could visit the Villa Lattes museum and its collection of working musical boxes, the personal collection of Bruno Lattes himself. Book your Guided tours with working Musical Boxes.

Set off early Sunday morning and explore the ancient village of Cison di Valmarino. Sign up for the “The Twins of Piazza Roma” tour and visit the town’s two villas CASA MORETTI & PALAZZO ZAMBALDI, which reside together in the same building.  During this unique guided tour, you’ll discover Casa Moretti, Brandolini, Marcello (today Villa Marcello Marinelli), a historic late-16th-century building with a 100-year-old horse chestnut tree in its central courtyard, followed by the secret rooms of Palazzo Zambaldi, now a municipal building.

At the end of your visit, you can take the Cison di Valmarino cable car up to CastelBrando and enjoy lunch in the castle’s restaurant whilst admiring the splendid views of the surrounding hills.

And to round off your Venetian Villas weekend in style, don’t miss one last afternoon’s Guided Tour to Villa Pera in Gaiarine, a late 17th-century Villa that’s been owned by a single family throughout its history. During the tour, you’ll explore the Villa’s gardens, barchesse, cellars, granaries and museum of rural life.
