ヴェスコヴィ邸とヴァルサンツィビオ庭園へのツアー

Wonderful tour and terrific tour guide in Chiara! My wife and I took this tour to conclude our first visit to Italy - and it was beautiful, informative and enjoyable. Our guide was so helpful and informative leading our small group of 4 to both locations. My wife gets car sick easily, so the travel in a nicely air-conditioned van driven by Chiara who navigated the route so smoothly, providing us background and answering questions throughout the motor trip portion was most appreciated. We were picked up and dropped off at a convenient location in Padova, just a 5-minute walk from where we were staying. The gardens and their history are beautiful, grand and welcoming. Chiara’s narration throughout made a big difference to improving our understanding of the gardens and their history. The same can be said for our visit to the Villa. If you’d like to see a slice of a remarkable garden in particular, you won’t be disappointed. Ask for Chiara, too!

The Villa Vescovi was a real gem. After a scenic ride through the hills, we were escorted to what had once been a private residence but now is under state control government conservatorship. The frescoes, which date back centuries, beautifully illustrate the close interrelationship of architecture and the natural landscape surrounding the estate. Although the day was rainy, the misty atmosphere enhanced the experience of gazing through the logia arches out into the partially obstructed hills and nearby fields and gardens. The Valsansibio Gardens were a perfect place for a serene and cleansing walk in the country. The meticulously maintained grounds offered serene vistas of symmetrical alleys, water features, and even some surprises like (spoiler alert!) a fabulous labyrinth and an island of bunnies! We were so happy to have Nico as our guide for the second day in a row! He really took time to show us these special sites and explain in as much detail as we wanted, their history and back stories.

Two very different, but both absolutely stunning villas slightly off the common path. Nico, our knowledgeable and passionate about this region guide, gave us very interesting insights as well as time and space for reflection in these beautiful places. Sunny autemn weather made the whole trip perfect. We also appreciated his advice on place for lunch after the tour in Padova very much. Easy communications, logistics and perfect timing. Highly recommend for slow mindful traveling

A beautiful villa The gardens kept really well, a place to spend 2 hours of carefree time, I recommend you do the maze, we had a lot of fun.

Beautiful days spent with Lo Vivo. The Villas are a wonder and have been told very well! The purification path and the labyrinth of Valsanzibio were my favorites. We stay tuned with Lo Vivo to participate in new experiences

We participated in several experiences offered by Lo Vivo to discover the best of Padua and the Euganean hills. Proud to have relied on this agency because we have been provided with so much information and so much quality time. The villas are wonderful and the management of the days was very functional. We'll be back!

We took part in an organized tour that took us to discover two jewels of the Euganean Hills: Villa dei Vescovi and the Garden of Valsanzibio. The day was perfect: Nicola was prepared and passionate, able to tell historical anecdotes and curiosities that made each stage even more interesting. Impeccable organization: convenient transportation, well-managed times and entrances included. An experience that I recommend to anyone who loves art, history and nature.

The tour guide was exceptional. We were able to relax in the beautiful countryside at the Cilla and the gardens. The trip was through the area of the Euganean Hills. While the famous cities in Italy are wonderful. The area around Padova is underrated. We have found the hidden treasures of Italy by exploring sites like these. Do take this tour to see the other parts of Italy!!

Beautiful landscape, Venetian Villa very well maintained by the FAI, very knowledgeable guide on the history of the Villa I would also recommend it for stay in the mini apartments of their management on the upper floors, very relaxing

Great your guide with knowledge of the area and history. Early and effective communication and quick responses when some last minute changes were needed.
