The Valley of Silence

The property is located on the hillside of Vicenza, overlooking the ‘Valley of Silence’ that inspired the famous Italian writer Antonio Fogazzaro, who made the villa his home.

Painters such as Gianbattista and Giandomenico Tiepolo, whose masterpiece frescoes adorn the Villa Valmarana nearby, also drew inspiration from the beauty of the area.

The Villa was bombed during World War II and was re-built by the descendants of the Fogazzaro family who still own the property. It is now a most charming home and has been a favourite destination for many distinguished guests throughout its life.

On the outside there is a beautiful terrace facing the Valley of Silence, where one can enjoy the golden aura of the Venetian sunsets amidst ancient cypresses, cedars, pines and the most beautifully scented osmanthus bushes, and roses, geraniums, lilies which fill the well tended garden with colour: you will feel rested in this peaceful oasis of relaxation.

The swimming pool next to the house overlooks the Villa Valmarana and one is constantly reminded, even during the most informal leisure activities, of the history, art and culture of the surrounding area. There is a poolside changing room with fridge, shower and plenty of lounge chairs for soaking the summer sunshine.
