    The Brenta Riviera: The Route of the Venetian Villas

    The Brenta Riviera is one of the most fascinating regions in Veneto; over the centuries, it has been transformed into an extraordinary succession of villas, gardens, and architectural complexes commissioned by the most prominent families of the Republic of Venice. The Riviera also attracted prominent figures and European royal families. Among others, members of the French and Russian royal families, the Habsburgs, the Savoys, and even Napoleon stayed there. Even today, exploring the Brenta Riviera means journeying through centuries of history, immersed in an elegant and enchanting landscape.

    The tour

    The tour begins with a minivan transfer along the Brenta Riviera. Along the way, you’ll be able to admire from the outside some of the many villas that line the river and learn about the history of this extraordinary architectural heritage.

    The first stop will be at Villa Widmann, an elegant 18th-century villa that once belonged to noble Venetian families, which still features salons and rooms decorated with frescoes that bear witness to the elegance of Venetian aristocratic life.

    We’ll then continue on to Villa Pisani, one of the most imposing and famous Venetian villas on the Brenta Riviera. With its monumental rooms, large park, and famous maze, Villa Pisani reflects the prestige and wealth of the families who, over the centuries, chose this area as a place for social gatherings and vacations.
