Rondleiding door Villa dei Vescovi en de tuin van Valsanzibio
Beschrijving
VERTREK UIT PADUA EN ABANO / MONTEGROTTO TERME We gaan eerst naar de Monumentale Tuin van Valsanzibio, een immense symbolische tuin uit de 17e eeuw, die een paar jaar geleden werd uitgeroepen tot het Mooiste Park van Italië, volledig omringd door het groene panorama en de zachte rondingen van de Euganeese heuvels. Waterpartijen, met bomen omzoomde lanen, fonteinen, het ingewikkelde labyrint en standbeelden vormen hier een harmonieus geheel in een allegorisch pad van 'Verlossing' waarlangs de bezoeker, die verschillende etappes doorloopt, van de Poort van Diana naar het Standbeeld van de Gevleugelde Tijd naar de Dolfijnenfontein, wordt geleid in de symbolische bevrijding van zonden. Daarna bezoeken we Villa dei Vescovi in Luvigliano di Torreglia: een kostbaar juweeltje in de heuvels van Euganea, een oud vakantieverblijf van de hoge prelaten van Padua uit de eerste helft van de 16e eeuw.

Reisroute
Bekend als een van de mooiste tuinen van Italië, is de Giardino di Valsanzibio nu beroemd over de hele wereld. Il Giardino ligt in Galzignano Terme, een klein stadje in het hart van de Euganische heuvels. Dit gebied, sinds het begin van de veertiende eeuw, had de voorkeur van de Venetiaanse adel als de perfecte locatie voor hun prachtige Venetiaanse villa's: het was een symbool van economische macht en tegelijkertijd een oase van vrede en rust.
Een kostbaar juweel in de Euganische heuvels. Villa dei Vescovi, een oude vakantieresidentie van de Paduaanse hoge prelaten dateert uit de eerste helft van de zestiende eeuw en is het resultaat van een pad van transformaties, versieringen, uitbreidingen. Het zal opwindend zijn om betoverd te worden door de harmonie waarmee de gebouw is verbonden met het omringende landschap en door de schoonheid van de Euganische heuvels gezien door de grote bogen van de loggia's en de hangende binnenplaats. Binnen in de Villa passeren we de adellijke kamers, de slaapkamer, de woonkamers en de grote en lichte woonkamer waar onze ogen stap voor stap zullen genieten van de prachtige cyclus van landelijke motieven van Lambert Sustris.

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.
Thank you so much, Fredrick, for this wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear that, despite the bad weather, you were able to appreciate the beauty of the places you visited in the company of our tour leader, Nico. We’re sure we’ll have you back with us in the future and wish you all the best.
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
We're thrilled to hear that you've truly appreciated our expertise and local knowledge. We make emotions one of the cornerstones of our work, building it every day. Thank you for your kind words, and we hope to have you with us again in the future.
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.
Grazie!
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
Buonasera Paola e grazie infinite per averci scelto. Siamo lieti di sapere che siamo stati uno degli ingredienti a rendere memorabile il tempo che lei e la sua bellissima famiglia avete deciso di trascorrere tra i nostri luoghi. Grazie mille.
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!
Grazie mille Costantino per le belle parole spese nei nostri confronti. Ci auguriamo di rivedervi presto per altre avventure insieme alla scoperta dei nostri territori.
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.
Buonasera Marta e grazie per le belle parole spese nei nostri confronti. E' stato un piacere avere te e il tuo ragazzo "on board". Speriamo di rivedervi alla prossima occasione che avrete di passare da queste parti.
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!!
Thank you so much for the review and for taking the time to share it with us. We are truly happy that you and your husband were able to relax and enjoy the time we spend together. We really hope to see you again.
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.
Thank you so much, it was a pleasure!
The Villa dei Vescovi is certainly a "special" experience, a blast from the past, in the beauty of frescoes, furnishings and panoramic views of remarkable beauty. But the tour is expertly paired with the monumental Garden of Valsanzibio. This garden, thanks to the information, descriptions of the places and details of what flowed before our eyes by the Guide, made us enjoy two hours of walking, in an intricate maze of fountains, statues and incredible views, without noticing the time that passed. Highly recommended.
Gentilissimo! Non possiamo che ringraziarla per la sua bellissima recensione! Vi aspettiamo ancora!
