Vibrant Venetian villas you must visit
Villa Contarini:
This villa stands on the ruins of an ancient castle built by the Dente family around the year 1,000. Eventually inherited by a member of the Contarini family, Marco; he expanded the building into a scenic fabulous estate. Then in the hands of the Camerini family and Professor G.E. Chirardi, the property was redesigned- restoring the 19th century style. Now owned and operated by the region of Veneto, this villa is extraordinary and regularly used of concerts, cultural events, weddings and receptions. Although this villa is not available for overnight stay, guided tours of the estate and park are well worth the time to visit. While exploring, enjoy an aperitivo and step back in time to an extravagant and luxurious lifestyle
