Bencontenta is located inside the perimeter of the private estate of Frassanelle in which there is also a splendid 18 holes golf club, with restaurant and a secular park.
The villa is dipped in the nature with a beautiful sight on the regional Park of the Colli Euganei, 20 Km from Padova and Vicenza and 50 km from Venice. The private park extends on a surface of 60 hectares, between forests and lawns, and is place of extraordinary quietness, where the guests can walk or bike in an unpolluted nature.
Bencontenta is ideal for a peaceful and relaxing holiday, its strategic geographical position makes it a perfect departing point for visiting the historical cities of the Venetia region and the famous villas by Palladio.
For the most part a fertile plain, the hinterland of Venice does hold some surprises in store: unexpectedly, about 20 km south-west of Padua, a group of solitary cone-shaped hills suddenly rises, the Colli Euganei or Euganean Hills. Today the Colli are a protected regional park.
The Veneto region is steeped in history and culture, towns like Padua, Vicenza, Verona, Mantua, Ferrara and, of course, Venice are within easy reach. The numerous Veneto villas are a real must.
The most famous of these - La Badoera, La Malcontenta, La Rotonda, Villa Maser, Villa Emo and the Villa Cornaro Rush, for instance - were designed by Andrea Palladio (1508-1580). On the Brenta Canal north of Padua alone there are 125 villas. The most outstanding among them are the Contarini Simes and Pisani Villas. They are all easily accessible from Bencontenta.
Apart from the famous towns and the extraordinary villas, we suggest visiting some smaller towns, all of them reachable in less than 1,5 hours by car. Bassano del Grappa, Asolo is a medieval jewel located north of Bassano. Furthermore you have Marositica, a fortified hamlet famous for the biennial chess game with human figures, held in commemoration of a medieval challenge to win the hand of the chatelains daughter. Montagnana is one of the most famous and better conserved medieval citadels of Europe. Possagno is where the world famous sculptor Antonio Canova was born. In the museum next to the house where he was born shows the plaster models and designs of his major works of art.
