Villa Selvatico is a Venetian Villa from the 1500s, surrounded by a three-hectare centuries-old park. Villa Selvatico da Porto was probably built between the end of the 1400s and the beginning of the 1500s, and is a patrician country residence, where the nobles used to stay for their summer "vacation" and to control agricultural possessions. There is no certain information about who commissioned the villa, probably a noble Paduan family, which over time was replaced by the Selvatico family, Venetian nobles who in 1792, as from a plaque placed on the north facade, promoted a first restoration that embellished the Villa to its current forms, and added other minor buildings for agricultural use.
The architecture of the building is typical of many Venetian villas, with a manor building set on a double symmetry, with two identical sober and elegant facades, softened by arched portals surmounted by original masks. On the ground floor and first floor large central halls cross it from north to south, flanked by smaller rooms.
The Villa, which for a long time belonged to the noble Selvatico family, has belonged to the da Porto family from Vicenza since 1951. Following a careful renovation in recent years, the villa now offers accommodation in 6 independent and perfectly equipped apartments, all surrounded by a large garden (3 hectares), in which there is also a beautiful outdoor swimming pool which operates in the season. summer.
The proximity to Padua and Venice make it an ideal place for those who want to carry out cultural tourism in the Veneto Region.
