Half day tour Villa dei Vescovi What makes Euganean Hills unique is the remarkable richness, quality and quantity, of human history: villas, castles, monasteries, to which should be added churches, archaeological excavations and rural houses. Villa dei Vescovi has been restored by the FAI - Italian Environment Fund in 2011. The villa shows how the noble residences in the area were not only focused on the property s organization but also want a symbolic representation of their wealth and power : the location on a small hill allows the building to emerge from the landscape. Note the visual effect desired by the customer, characteristic of all the Venetian villas: they intend to establish a link between the villa and the wineyard. We take a good glass of euganean wine and immersed in pure nature and art, we go on dreaming.
