Locanda al Moretto overlooks the main square of Castelfranco Veneto, in the shadow of the walls of the age-old town known as the “Citta Murata”, or walled city. Like the many walled towns dotted around the Veneto region, Castelfranco stands out for its ancient and unique elegance.
Also known as the City of Giorgione, Castelfranco is worth exploring for the many interesting excellences that have marked its history from as far back as 1195 A.D. The city was the centre of the area’s medieval life, and during the Renaissance period it was a hotbed of artistic and cultural ideas and experiences, a notable example of which is given by the Madonna and Child Between St. Francis and St. Nicasius, also known as Castelfranco Madonna, by Giorgione. Last but not least, it’s worth remembering that the city lies at the heart of the area of the magnificent Palladian villas, built during Venice’s rule over Veneto – an unparalleled addition to the City of Giorgione.

Villa Barbaro, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the greatest masterpieces by Andrea Palladio, still nestled today in its original and ever flourishing agricultural estate.
Villa Emo is a prime example of Andrea Palladio’s concept of farm-cum-villa reflecting a new style inspired by ancient architecture.
The complex dates back to the late 1500s and was built on the site of a “domus” originally owned by a Venetian nobleman.
The villa, built in Piombino Dese for a powerful Venetian patrician, Giorgio Cornaro, marks a sharp leap in the prestige and expenditure capacity of Palladio’s clients, who until then had essentially come from Vicenza.
Nestled in the countryside between Venice, Padua and Treviso, Ca' Marcello is one of the most splendid Palladian villas, still lived in and kept up by the noble Venetian family of the Marcellos.
The complex develops around a large courtyard delimited by the palazzo’s linear volume. Villa Cà amata is one of the most prestigious examples of 18th century Venetian architecture.
Dating back to the 16th century, this villa has been completely restored to offer guests a unique welcome and a magical atmosphere. With its age-old park and swimming pool, Villa Cornèr della Regina is sure to fill you with unique sensations and emotions.
Take a stroll in the Park and admire areas of undergrowth, ponds, trees, bridges, artificial hills and the architectural beauties of yesteryear.
