Discover the Venetian Villas, one of the greatest cultural, tourism and agricultural heritages in the world.

There are over 4,000 Venetian Villas built between the 15th and 18th centuries, during the time of the Serenissima Republic of Venice, in Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia.
Within this portal, you will discover the beautiful Villas of our Members, including many Palladian Villas, which today open their doors to visitors through guided tours, events, stays, dining, and other top-quality services.
The Venetian Villas are the heirs of the Villa Civilization. Visiting them is a unique experience—a never-ending journey through stunning countryside, rivers, and hills.
Come and experience “Villa Life”: your vacations in Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia, new, authentic, and unforgettable.

They are living houses, rich in history; they are centers of culture in the countryside, small enterprises that offer important employment opportunities and cultural and nature-based experiences full of leisure and growth for our communities and for visitors from around the world.
They are a fundamental hub of the tourism industry: they attract visitors, generate jobs, support local communities, and sustain the rural economy.
Today, in a Venetian Villa you can: visit and learn, relax, linger, listen, shop, taste local agricultural products, have lunch or dinner, or simply enjoy a coffee; you can stay overnight, get married, organize an event, or even film a movie. A beauty accessible to everyone.

GVV Visitor and Participant

Elegance, uniqueness, and the fortune of having been able to participate. Responsibility towards artistic heritage, and insignificance in the face of frescoes that have stood for hundreds of years and convey such a powerful and cutting-edge message.

GVV Visitor and Participant

I loved the combination of art and food, the art of our region meeting its knowledge. It’s an interesting way to bring the past and the present closer together and bring these buildings, our region’s masterpieces, to life.
