Welcome to Casa a Colori Venezia, right in the middle of the Riviera del Brenta: a place that still reflects the beauty of the Serenissima. Here are stunning villas in the typical Venetian style, built between the 16th and 18th centuries. Among them, Palladio's Villa Foscari, better known as "La Malcontenta" because of the mysterious legend of the 1800s, starring the unhappy owner, is definitely worth a visit. The most admirable and renowned in the area, on the other hand, is Villa Pisani in Stra, built in the 18th century and known for its large park with one of the most famous labyrinths in Europe.
For those of you who love outdoor activities and real relaxation, we recommend a ride along the Brenta River with the typical boat “Burchiello”. If, on the other hand, you prefer a bit of activity, bike rides and walks through nature and art can be organized along the Riviera. Another option can be the Valle Averto Nature Oasis, the perfect place for birdwatchers.
The Riviera del Brenta area is also known as the footwear district. These are true works of craftsmanship known throughout the world and with a history handed down from generation to generation. Take advantage for some shopping or at Villa Foscarini Rossi in Stra, you can visit the shoe museum.
Last but not least, it is possible to reach Venice, Padua, Vicenza and Verona in a short time, even by public transportation, and enjoy all the cultural, artistic and entertaining opportunities that theese cities offer.
