The villa we visited was Villa Valmarana, just down the road from La Rotunda. Here's the website if you wish to read more about it.
Now a few pictures from the day.
Villa Valmarana
I love the scrollwork
Some of the garden in the front of the villa
Early spring flowers coming out
A back view of Mt. Berico
Loved the plants around the villa
Supposedly the villa gets it's name from these dwarf statues that are around it. I believe there were 17 in all.

Beautiful! I would love to visit there one day. (I'm adding this to my list of places I want my husband and I to visit!)
That villa is so pretty! I think one of the best parts about living in Italy must be being able to visit places like this! Places you never would have time to visit if you were only there for a day or two
As usual, gorgeous photos! You keep adding places to me "must see before I die" list :)
And I know this is off-topic, but I was wondering if you have had trouble following my blog. Some people have recently, and I noticed that you hadn't really stopped by since I made the URL change. I'm not fishing for comments, honestly! But I didn't want you to think I had blocked you!
Can I be completely honest? When you wrote "Villa Valmarana" I misread it as "Villa Valderrama" and thought you were going to make fun of Wilmer Valderrama which I TOTALLY condone.
Again, gorgeous pictures! I keep telling Chad about how badly I want him to put Italy on his wish list and the other day, randomly, he goes "I hope we never go to Italy. I just have no desire to go there." And I looked over at him in complete horror and said "Really?" He started laughing and said "No, babe! I just know how bad you wanna go there lately so I had to give you a bad time!" By the way, he's getting excited for the picture to get here too!
These are so pretty! What a fun place to go :) You sure do take advantage of living in Italy :)
Great pictures!!! I love all the villas in Italy!
What a neat little villa! Your pictures are always wonderful. Makes me almost feel like I am there!
Beautiful! I wish I had a villa nearby!
Great photos! That place looks amazing!
I want to come visit you! Gorgeous photos!
So cool!!
Oh Mt. Berico...how I miss thee...my heart is seriously melting :(
I love the picture of the flowers and the tree. :) I am so happy spring is (will be soon) finally here!
