Villa Contarini has a unique history of its kind, made up of alterations and abandonments. The first building was built on the remains of a castle dating back to the year one thousand and until the middle of the sixteenth century it remained a fortified structure. Purchased by the Contarini family, it was rebuilt as a rustic residence perhaps following a project by Palladio. However, it was the subsequent interventions, commissioned by Marco Contarini, procurator of San Marco, that determined the current appearance. A period of abandonment followed which lasted until the mid-1800s when the complex was bought by the Camerini family, who restored the building and finished it following the stylistic dictates of the time. The English garden dates back to the same period. The villa was abandoned again after World War II and it was only in the 1970s that, thanks to the interest and work of Giordano Ghirardi, new restoration works began to open this architectural treasure to the public. In 2005 Villa Contarini was purchased by the Veneto region.

Very nice residence where we were allowed to occupy the large forecourt.
