Villa Bolasco, Venetian villa in Castelfranco Veneto, Italy.
Villa Bolasco is a landed estate in Castelfranco Veneto covering roughly 8.5 hectares with more than 1,500 trees, featuring lakes, pathways, and gardens designed in the English manner. The property combines residential architecture with expansive green spaces and organized landscape features.
Construction took place between 1852 and 1865 under Count Francesco Revedin, who built it to replace an earlier structure called Paradise that had belonged to prominent noble families. This rebuilding marked a shift in ownership and the estate's development during the 1800s.
The ballroom displays frescoes painted by Giacomo Casa, and the grounds feature 52 sculptures including works by Orazio Marinali. These artistic elements shape how visitors experience the space as they move through the rooms and gardens.
The historic grounds are accessible through guided tours offered on weekends, accommodating groups of up to 35 people. Visitors should check ahead to confirm which days and times suit their schedule.
The grounds received recognition as one of Italy's ten most beautiful parks, making it the only Venetian garden to achieve this honor. This distinction reflects how the landscape design stands apart from other regional gardens.
