Villa Franceschi is a late XVI century architectural gem situated next to the small but charming centre of Mira Porte. The Villa stands on the river Brenta and is surrounded by a splendid secular park where you can discover some typical romantic plants and essences set out in a classic XVIII century garden.
The Villa, mentioned throughout the XVIII century by distinguished engravers such as Coronelli and Costa, retains a genuine Venetian atmosphere.
Excellent furniture, paintings and curtains weaved by the best Venetian artisans make the building really precious and complete a very well- appointed private space in the heart of Veneto.
