About
Villa Fracanzan Piovene is a magnificent 18th century villa with a large italian garden. The villas pristine rooms share the vibrant lifestyle of the past centuries. The kitchen is host to a renowned collection of copper pots and utencils but it is most famous for the 16th century sink designed in red Verona marble. Designed by the Veronese architect, Farinati, legend has it that the sink narrowly missed being part of the Louvre for Napoleon. In the prestigious barn of the Barchessa visitors can see the rare collection of early agricultural engines and tractors. A stroll in the “giardino all’italiana” is not to be missed with its long avenues and lush park surrounding the villa.
