In Bassano del Grappa, in the secluded hilly area of Santa Croce near the historic centre, this distinguished 17th-century Venetian villa offers 3616 sqm of internal surface within a historic park of 3.6 hectares, equivalent to 36731 sqm. Known as Villa Giusti del Giardino, the estate is framed by centuries-old trees, an Italian garden, lawns, gravel paths, shaped hedges and circular stone fountains. The four-level principal residence comprises 47 rooms and 12 bathrooms, with parking for 15 vehicles. A dramatic entrance hall with ceilings exceeding 4 metres leads to grand reception rooms, dining rooms, a kitchen with breakfast room, external porticoes and a loggia. Decorated timber beams, beautifully preserved historic frescoes, Venetian terrazzo floors and period parquet lend the interiors exceptional character, while the upper floors accommodate principal suites, bedrooms, dressing rooms and services overlooking the park. The property also includes a consecrated private chapel with marble altar, statues and sacred decorations, a belvedere tower with cast-iron spiral staircase, and a rooftop panoramic terrace with 360-degree views across the Brenta River and Monte Grappa.
