Ca’ Marcello is one of the most well known Palladian villas in all the Veneto countryside. One of the few which is still lived by the original aristocratic family.
In the main building there are fresco paintings, plaster worked walls, objects d’art and original furniture. The private park is 70.000 sq.m. and is rich in old-century trees, statues, flower beds and other amenities. Going for a sunset stroll or for jogging in the early morning is like walking in heaven.
Inside the left arcaded wing of the villa there is the independent Barchessa apartment, a very comfortable luxury suite used traditionally to receive guests. It features furnishings, paintings, objet d'art and other appointments, many of which date to the 16th century.
The Barchesa apartment has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
The apartment was restored and partially refurnished in 2004, the walls have original marble plaster surface and most rooms have parquet floor and plaster decorated ceilings, while the bathrooms are furnished with hand painted ‘Vietri’ tiles and high standard bath furniture.
Ground floor:
In the entry way, you find marble stairs that lead to the first floor.
First floor:
On the left side of the landing there is a double bedroom with a queen bed and a bath en suite (tub/fixed shower head). There is a private sitting room with sofa, writing-desk and wardrobe.
The entire suite has exposed beam ceilings and windows overlook the porch of the villa’s wing.
On the right side of the landing, you enter a hallway that leads to the dining room (with a table for up to 8 people) and a well-equipped kitchen (oven, microwave, refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher and toaster).
Both the dining room and the hallway lead into the large living room, which has six windows on three sides and is furnished with a big sofa, two easy-chairs, four arm-chairs and a chaise lounger. This room is equipped with an open bar of spirits and liqueurs, TV, stereo CD and DVD player. Returning again to the landing, wooden stairs lead to the upper floor.
Second floor:
At the end of the hallway along the wooden hand made balcony, three doors lead to the other bedrooms. The first is a double bedroom with a queen bed, writing-desk, three chairs and two chests of drawers. Passing the walk-through closet supplied with fitted cupboard, there is the en suite bathroom (tub/fixed shower head).
The second door leads to a double bedroom with queen bed, chest of drawers, wardrobe and easy-chair. The third door leads to a sitting room with satellite TV and CD player, sofa and writing desk that leads to the last bedroom, a large room with twin beds, easy-chair, three chairs, wardrobe and two chests of drawers. These two bedrooms share a bathroom (tub/fixed shower head) which is reached through the sitting room.
All the windows on the upper floor overlook the main Italian style garden and the villa’s façade.
