The history of this villa dates back to the beginning of the 18th century, when it was commissioned by a prestigious Venetian family as a summer home and country house. Its position was strategic even then, coveted and populated by other prestigious villas. At the end of the century, the property was bequeathed to an order of friars residing in Venice, who used it as a convalescence and retirement home. During this period, a chapel was built inside the villa, consecrated by the then Pope Pius XI, which can still be used today for any religious rite. In the 1800s, the villa passed into the hands of a noble family from Treviso, becoming the main home of the buyers and their descendants. In 1930, the countess who owned the villa had the outdoor swimming pool built which, recently restored, is still present today.
The historical noble villa has two levels. The interiors retain their original charm, with period architectural details, arches and vaults, big windows, marble floors and fine antique furnishings.

The adjacent building offers two independent living units, recently renovated.
To the side, is the splendid barchessa, built in the 19th century. A typical structure of the architecture of Venetian villas, it was born as a rural building, intended to contain rooms that were used fro work, dividing them from the space of the central body of the villa, reserved for the owners; today, it adds a charm with a traditional and authentic flavor to this property, with its typical arches and the splendid portico with exposed beams.
The vast grounds of 8000 sqm include a big well-kept Italian garden, richly planted with hedges, palms, shrubs, fruit trees and flowering plants and enriched here and there by the presence of ornaments, vases, capitals and stone sculptures.
