Immerse yourself in 16th-century Vicenza, when the most influential architect in history transformed its face and the very way of conceiving architecture.
The Palladian Villa Owners Network has designed and refined this experience, reflecting our vision of heritage tourism: when we go on vacation, we ourselves love freedom, yet we need a range of quality services to fully appreciate the place.
In general, amidst the current flood of information available, we always seek quality over quantity. Obviously, also seeking the opportunity for a friendly approach and a pleasant human and cultural exchange.
Vicenza will thus present itself to you at its full splendor, like a unique gem in every corner.
In the "inclusions" section (please read it), you can see our meticulous attention to detail and the reasons why this is absolutely considered the first experience in Vicenza.
The tour concludes with a little but exclusive palladian surprise.
Looking forward to helping you appreciate our beautiful city!

Villa Valmarana ai Nani, just outside the town of Vicenza, is an extraordinary monumental complex that includes the ‘Palazzina’ (Owner’s Residence), the Foresteria (Guest-House) – both frescoed by Giambattista and Giandomenico Tiepolo - and the Scuderia (Stables), within a historical park.
It's surrounded by walls decorated with Statues of Dwarfs. It's the only place in the world where you can admire together the art of the father, Giambattista and the son’s, Giandomenico Tiepolo. The Villa is still owned and inhabited by the Valmarana family, who commissioned the frescoes in 1757.
