Property 185292

Location and Surrounding Area

Located on the shore of the River Po and just a short drive from Ferrara, this magnificent five-bedroom villa is the perfect place for an elegant Italian break in one of the most evocative corners in Northern Italy. The villa is just a stone’s throw from the medieval city of Ferrara. The center of Ferrara combines buildings from different periods into a perfect amalgam of the medieval with the Renaissance, and so a visit to Ferrara is truly a journey into the past.

The villa is also a few kilometers from Bologna, the capital of Emilia-Romagna. The opening of a foodie theme park will further elevate Bologna’s reputation as Italy’s culinary capital, but the city has plenty more to offer. Piazza Maggiore is surrounded by medieval palaces and home to the church of San Petronio. A passage leads to Piazza del Nettuno, dominated by its monumental 16th-century fountain. The nearby streets, sheltered by porticoes, are perfect for strolling, dining, and a spot of shopping.

The villa is also a few kilometers from Padova, a busy city with an arcaded center and three handsome market squares: Piazza delle Erbe sells fruit and vegetables, Piazza dei Signori supplies household goods and Piazza dei Frutti offers both. Padova’s famous university, founded in the 13th century, accounts for the town’s youthful population. But the main attraction is the Cappella degli Scrovegni, a chapel home to a remarkable fresco cycle completed in two years by Giotto.

Water has always been part of people’s lives in Veneto, and this is especially true of Venice, which is built on it. Venice is a unique jewel sparkling in its lagoon, home to precious works of art representing the wealth and power of a great seafaring republic. Fascinating for adults, exciting and mysterious for children, Venice is a city where everyone goes by water on gondolas and where Carnival has made disguise de rigeur: wear a cloak and a mask and play hide and seek.

Property 185292 is 84 km from Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport, 207 km from Milano Linate Airport and 259 km from Milano Malpensa Airport. Ferrara is 40 km from the villa, Mantova is 52 km, Modena is 60 km, Verona is 64 km, Bologna is 84 km, Padova is 94 km, Vicenza is 96 km, Parma is 96 km, Venezia is 129 km, Ravenna is 134 km.
