Overview

The unique and original E-Bike tour of the Palladian Villas explores the surroundings of Vicenza passing through 11 Villas, of which 7 are Unesco Palladian Heritage Sites.

The experience includes the rental of a luxurious Palladian E-Bike extremely comfortable and performing (bag and padlocks included), a special navigation system and a traveling voice narration: the guiding voice will be the spirit of Andrea Palladio, who traces his story through the evolution of his villas (entrance fees excluded) and immersion in his landscapes.

The network of Palladian Villa owners invites you to immerse yourself in the history and landscapes of the other half of our UNESCO World Heritage Site in an original, active and sustainable way.

Deep in the Vicenza countryside, sumptuous residences follow one another as far as the eye can see in a widespread eco-museum, architectural forms in continuous evolution until the gemstone of the world-famous Palladian Villa, thanks to the genius of a modest and prodigious stonemason.

    Extraordinary Palladian work commissioned by the great architect by the Caldogno counts (note: time to reach stage and stop)

    1 hour

  • Villa Da Porto Pedrotti

    Monumental and splendid, its attribution to Palladio is controversial, but certain is its belonging to that Golden Age of Vicenza which dotted the city and its countryside with architectural pearls recognized as a World Heritage Site (note: time to reach stage and stop) Accessible from the outside

    30 minutes

  • Villa Da Porto Casarotto

    Imposing eighteenth-century villa that testifies to the longevity of the Palladian legacy, the living and germinating force of the Italian Neoclassical (note: time to reach stage and stop).

    Even the two Villas of Quinto, the sixteenth-century Villa Thiene and the eighteenth-century Villa Tacchi, dialogue in the suburban landscape, giving us a precious testimony of how Palladio's legacy has been able to survive strongly in the Vicenza countryside, continuing over the centuries to contribute in painting the face of the territory (note: time to reach stage and stop).
