Tour to Villa dei Vescovi and the Valsanzibio Garden

DEPARTURE FROM PADUA OR ABANO / MONTEGROTTO TERME

We will first set out for the Monumental Garden of Valsanzibio, an immense symbolic garden dating back to the 17th century, which a few years ago was named the Most Beautiful Park in Italy, completely surrounded by the verdant panorama and gentle curves of the Euganean Hills. Here water features, tree-lined avenues, fountains, an intricate labyrinth and statues combine harmoniously in an allegorical path of ‘Salvation’ along which the visitor, passing through various stages, from the Portal of Diana to the Statue of Winged Time to the Dolphin Fountain, is guided in the symbolic liberation from sins.

We will then move on to visit Villa dei Vescovi in Luvigliano di Torreglia: a precious gem set in the Euganean Hills, an ancient holiday residence of the high prelates of Padua dating back to the first half of the 16th century.
