IL Cardinale

IL Cardinale

Italy, Veneto ~ 8 Bedrooms ~ 7 Bathrooms ~ Sleeps 10 to 13

Il Cardinale was built in 1696 by the grandson of Alessandro VIII who was a famous Cardinal. The Estate has had several owners over the centures.  The present owners have decided to offer it for rent to select clients a few week of the year.  Their wish is to have guests who will come for a holiday, relax, enjoy their stay, appreciate the beauty of the villa the magical surroundings.

 

The villa is situated on a hill with a magnificent panoramic view of the Medieval city of Asolo. From here you can enjoy spectacular views of the surrounding plains, where on a clear day you can see the Euganei hills and Venice.

 

The villa is protected by an ancient wall made of stones and bricks and is surrounded by a large park.

 

Il Cardinale is created of 4 main buildings : the main villa, the chapel that was the most ancient sanctuary made for honoring the Virgin Mary and two wings : the venetian barchesse originally  the barns and stables that have now been built into residences.

THE BERETTA

 

The Beretta is a pretty little apartment next to the villa with private entrance. Inside it has a living room, a double bedroom, a bathroom and a kitchen.

 

THE CARDINAL’S HAT: The beauty of the villa is brought to life by its unique architecture and precious decorations. The symbol of the villa is the Cardinal’s galero hat which stands on the top of the iron main entrance gates of the villa.

 

THE PRECIOUS “STUCCHI”
