The Rotonda

Immerse yourself in 16th-century Vicenza, when the most influential architect in history transformed its face and the very way of conceiving architecture. The Palladian Villa Owners Network has designed and refined this experience, reflecting our vision of heritage tourism: when we go on vacation, we ourselves love freedom, yet we need a range of quality services to fully appreciate the place. In general, amidst the current flood of information available, we always seek quality over quantity. Obviously, also seeking the opportunity for a friendly approach and a pleasant human and cultural exchange. Vicenza will thus present itself to you at its full splendor, like a unique gem in every corner. In the "inclusions" section (please read it), you can see our meticulous attention to detail and the reasons why this is absolutely considered the first experience in Vicenza. The tour concludes with a little but exclusive palladian surprise. Looking forward to helping you appreciate our beautiful city!

The Director of the Business Network created by the owners of the Unesco Palladian villas will take you into a virtuous tale about Vicenza in its Golden Age, offering you an unparalleled perspective from which to start your visit to the city of Palladio. This story tells of a community that was independent in spirit and devoted to commerce by vocation. A compelling story of international political alliances born from the great ferment of the Reformation, of families whose nobility was not only a rank, linked to the silk trade that made the Serenissima a socio-cultural center of such relevance that even Rome feared it. A plot whose texture is represented by the rich Unesco heritage that the genius of Palladio left to the city, becoming a model of timeless modernity. A story that you will hear in the exceptional context of Palazzo Valmarana Braga, one of the architect's most beautiful creations today privately owned, and in its immediate surroundings.
