Villa Ca' Vendri

ca_vendri Ca’ Vendri in Valpantena of Verona is exemplar of those Vene-tian villas dating back to the early Reinassance. The Counts Giusti commis-sioned its construction to the archi-tect Michele Sanmicheli’s followers assisted by the painter Paolo Farinati, the author of the fresco over the loggia of the façade. Crossing a nine-arch portico one reaches the classic court-yard.

The structure of the villa is like the one of the Reinassance patrician houses in Veneto: the noble floor has four halls on both sides of the central huge hall. The park of English style, considered as a national monument, is adorned with 18th century statues, a nympheo with Doric columns, a family chapel, a lobed stone pond, and an alley with secular cypresses at the northern entrance of the villa. With the owners’ permission Ca’ Ven-dri can be used for business meetings, cultural events, for family meetings and as a place where to spend summer holidays. It is 6 km far from Verona and has wide parking areas inside the park. In addition to the larger hall (mq.185), other three halls, a large attic and the portico (mq.180) can be used for meeting purposes. In its bedrooms, which have antique furnishings, guests can enjoy a very suggestive atmosphere spending their holidays only some minutes far fromVerona.
