Photos and Description of this Padova area holiday villa
Sleeps 14+1, 7 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms plus 1 WC / Breakfast service available

This historical estate reveals its delights slowly and elegantly. Leaving the bustling Venetian activities behind you, the drive leads you on a simple country road through fields which melt into the natural park of the Eugenean hills. You will soon discover the historical main villa on top of one of the hills, seemingly shielding the elegantly structured farm buildings, the beautifully restored farmhouse Villa La Contenta offered here and a wonderfully romantic 19th century garden folly reminiscent of a Palladian temple (also in our repertoire). The estate has been in the hands of an ancient Counts's family since the 13th century, well over 700 years. Villa La Contenta is a traditional Venetian farmhouse on this historical estate. The house has 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms on 3 floors (ground floor and 2 upper floors), a typical 'loggia' in front of the house for al fresco meals, and a large private pool.

The estate: This historical estate reaveals its delights slowly and elegantly. Leaving the bustling Venetian activities behind you, the drive leads you on a simple country road through fields which melt into the natural park of the Eugenean hills. You will soon discover the historical main villa on top of one of the hills, seemingly shielding the elegantly structured farm buildings, the beautifully restored farmhouse Villa La Contenta offered here and a wonderfully romantic 19th century garden folly reminiscent of a Palladian temple (The Temple/also in our repertoire). The estate has been in the hands of an ancient Counts's family since the 13th century, well over 700 years. This is one of the great Venetian properties. The 150 hectare estate consists of a Venetian villa (no picture), a 19th century English park, a skilfully designed 18 hole golf course and cultivated farmland with several farm buildings. All this 20 km south of Padua within easy reach of the famous historic villas of the Veneto.

Useful information: Culture: The immense cultural wealth and variety of Venetia is the main reason for visiting this area. Villa La Contenta's strategic position makes for many an inspiring day trip to Padova, Venice, Vicenza, Verona, Ferrara, Lake Garda as well as Este, Montagnana, Monselice and Arquà Petrarca in the immediate vicinity. The villas on the Brenta canal as well as the famous Palladio villas should also be on your cultural agenda.

Ecology: Villa La Contenta was restored according to the latest standards of biological architecture. The agricultural production of the estate is organic and the owners see the estate's future in becoming a full-circle organic farm: cultivation, products, cattle, fruit trees and vegetable gardens.

Some distances: The Golf Club: 5 minutes by car from the house lies the beautiful golf club of the estate, which is considered the best in the area. The club house is a cleverly converted farm building with a very pleasant restaurant which serves excellent light lunches and full dinners. Reduced green fees for our guests.
