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.

We are EN family of 6 adults who had never been on electric bikes before, who wanted to experience Palladio's amazing architecture and at the same time move us through the beautiful Italian landscape. Tour EN was a huge success because everything played just as beautifully and cozyly and fun together as one could have hoped. We received excellent service and introduction to the bicycles and the course of the day at Manuel in Palazzo Braga. The guidance and audio guide worked perfectly, so we had EN day with EN wonderful holistic experience of fantastic architecture and history, nature experiences, movement and local food. EN experience that we warmly recommend to everyone who wants to take a common bike trip out in beautiful Italy.

We enjoyed the Palladio Villas route with the Palladian e-bikes on Tuesday this week in glorious sunshine. Even if the booking via the website went complicated according to our perception, then the start on site directly gave a very good feeling. Manuel has explained in detail the bicycles and how the navigation device works. He really takes his time here and makes sure the starting package is complete. Then ES started. Navigation worked perfectly and we were thrilled with the routing beyond the auto road, small paths, through forests, along streams and fields, but all of which are well navigable. We would never have found these ways on our own. We arrived at the announced villas, enjoyed the breaks with the cultural input and admired the architecture. The bikes ran very well, a wonderful day tour. We were on the road for 6 hours, took a little refreshment in between and found ES a very suitable time unit for us. Thanks to Manuel. His passion and authentic appearance also give the action something special. If there were any final wishes left unanswered, we would certainly have included more information if ES had the audio offer in German. Finally, thank you very much for this wonderful day. ES Greetings, Anke and Burkhard

This was really a great day tour, the agenda and bike/gps organization was fantastic, Manuel was very helpful in getting us rolling and pointing out the beat options for the day and lunch spots, etc. The length of the tour was really great, especially allowing for us to get some exercise, but also take advantage of the extended range of the E bikes. The bikes worked really well - and the addition of the pannier bag was very nice. We had the opportunity to tour a couple of the villas on our day out, which was about perfect timing wise.- and was a nice add. I’d highly recommend it!

The route is well designed and allows you to independently tour the territory around Vicenza, making you discover truly suggestive and unique places. A pleasant walk the bike assist is comfortable and well equipped.
Splendid Venetian villa registered as a World Heritage Site since 1994, which belonged to the family of Giangiorgio Trissino, who inspired Palladio (note: time to reach stage and stop) Accessible from the outside
Extraordinary Palladian work commissioned by the great architect by the Caldogno counts (note: time to reach stage and stop)
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
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).
Unmistakable Palladian original among the first works of the architect, also included in the UNESCO World Heritage (note: time to reach stage and stop). Accessible from the outside
Another pearl between Giulio Romano and Palladio (note: time to reach stage and stop). Accessible from the outside
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). Accessible from the outside
A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1994, the villa owned by the Curti family is a fine example of the eternity of the works of Palladian production, inspiration and legacy. Restored to its former glory, it now houses an agricultural and tourist activity as it did then (note: time to reach stage and stop). Accessible from the outside
Villa Gazzotti is a Venetian villa located in Vicenza in the Bertesina area designed by Andrea Palladio between 1542 and 1543. Subjected over time to various tampering related to agricultural use and uninhabited for years, this work appears to be in a state of deterioration and needs an overall restoration (note: time to reach stage and stop). Accessible from the outside
This breathtaking tour could only end with the work that consecrated Palladio's genius revealing his genius (note: time to reach stage and stop).
