Villa dei Vescovi
A 16th-century Renaissance villa in the Euganean Hills, with loggias overlooking vineyards. It is managed by FAI (Fondo Ambiente Italiano).
Originally the country residence of the bishops of Padua, the villa has loggias on all four sides and terraced gardens that blend into the surrounding hills. Inside, there are landscape frescoes by Lambert Sustris. The surrounding vineyards and walking trails make it a lovely spot to try local wines at the villa. Admission is about €12 to €14. It is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, and often closed in winter.
