Day 9: Prosecco
Tuesday, August 5, 2025
Continue your Italian escapade with a visit to Villa Valmarana ai Nani in Vicenza. This splendid property is renowned for its exquisite frescoes by the famous 18th-century painter Giambattista Tiepolo and his son, Giandomenico Tiepolo. The villa is surrounded by lush gardens offering stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The gardens are designed in a classical Italian style featuring manicured lawns, geometric flower beds and statues. The highlight of the garden is a series of 17 stone dwarf statues ("nani" in Italian) that give the villa its name. According to local legend, these statues represent the dwarf servants of a noble family and add a whimsical touch to the garden's elegance.

Check in to the property in Prosecco and enjoy some time at leisure before gathering for dinner.
