.....lovely rooms, interesting paintings, lovely views, lovely gardens. We wanted to combine a visit with Monte Bericho and the Risorgimento museum but were reliant on public transport and are over 60 – so lots of walking out of the question. In the end we took a taxi to the villa, walked up to Monte Bericho and took a bus back to town – that worked really well.
We loved the more intimate atmosphere of this villa compared to Rotunda. Furniture in the rooms and photos of the family. The views from the windows were amazing and the gardens beautiful. We went outside the garden wall to better view the dwarfs who line the walls. No photography allowed even without flash which is a shame.
Dear guest,thanks for the words you had for our Villa. The bedroom you are mentioning is lived by the owners of the villa and has therefore never been part of the visit. Moreover it has no particular interest. The visit is focused to the spaces hosting Tiepolo frescoes.Come to visit us again!The Valmarana family
Dear guest, thanks a lot for your positive review. We are glad you enjoyed the visit at all and hope you can spend good words about Villa Valmarana in New York :)All the bestThe Valmarana family
With its quirky statuary and beautiful grounds, this villa is a true gem. There is even a nice little cafe in the gate house where you can rest your weary legs!
One your way back from the villa Rotonda walk up the hlll to visit this lovely villa. The painting are well worth the visit and there is a nice myth behind the history of the villa.
Down a walking path from La Rotonda is a jewel of a villa that although may not be as impressive as Palladio’s masterpiece is a delight. Villa Valmarana ai Nani (Villa at the Dwarfs) is a whimsical countryside villa near Vincenza that although mentioned in several well known guide books is often missed. According to a local legend the stone statues of the dwarfs on the walls alongside the villa represent servants who were petrified upon seeing the beloved nobleman's daughter thrown to her death, a result of unrequited love. The villa is across the road and up the hill from Villa Rotonda. It is a fair walk but worth the effort. The inside of the villa is as delightful as the outside. The frescoed walls of the villa are attributed to the father and son Tiepolos and are considered to be among the greatest examples of the fresco art of the 18th century. Be sure to allow enough time to enjoy the lovely garden which adds to the romantic storybook atmosphere.The Valmarana family still lives in the villa so only the villa's piano nobile is open to the public.
