Why choose this experience
– You’ll discover a little-known but highly curated and beautifully preserved Villa, guided by the family that has lived and cared for it for five generations.
– The Persian garden from the 1700s, known as the “Secret Garden”, is one of a kind.
– Perfect timing: Vigna Contarena (i.e. “Contarini’s Vineyard”) was designed specifically to enjoy the splendid autumnal setting of the Euganean Hills during grape harvest. Just a stone’s throw away is the ancient and vibrant town of Este.
