Located only ten minutes from Vicenza, tucked away in an enchanted corner of The Berici Hills, Villa Monte di Costacolonna rests quietly, immersed in a park full of mature cedars and other trees. Neoclassical in style, as designed by Vicenza architect Giuseppe Riva, and built in 1825, the villa is distinguished by its covered exterior balcony, or loggia – complete with Corinthian columns and two stone lions which preside over the entryway.
