Villa veneto Il Galero

Il Galero is a magnificent historic villa situated in the enchanting Renaissance town of Asolo, perched on a hilltop with sweeping views of the Alpine foothills and the vast plains of Veneto. Asolo has long been a cherished destination for artists and scholars, drawn by its undeniable charm and magical atmosphere. Notable figures such as Eleonora Duse, the English poet Robert Browning, the British traveler Freja Stark, and even Ernest Hemingway have all been captivated by the beauty of this unique town.

Just a short stroll from the center of Asolo, Il Galero offers a prime location below the town’s fortress, with breathtaking panoramic views. On clear days, you can even catch glimpses of the Euganean Hills and the distant city of Venice. Built in 1696, this authentic Veneto villa is a fine example of the region's architectural heritage. The property is composed of four distinct sections: the central villa and two traditional Venetian “barchesse” (outhouses) on either side, which were originally stables and barns. One of these has been converted into a separate residence for the owners and staff, ensuring privacy and convenience for guests.

The interior of Il Galero is a masterpiece of sophistication and elegance, adorned with intricate stuccoes that grace the walls and ceilings in a refined late Baroque style. Every room exudes a sense of history and luxury, offering a truly unique and immersive experience.

Surrounding the villa is a vast park filled with mature trees, ancient plants, and vibrant gardens, including a charming wisteria-covered area and a beautiful rose garden. The terrace and garden are designed for relaxation, with comfortable armchairs and beach umbrellas, providing the perfect setting to unwind and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

On the eastern side of the villa, a spacious panoramic terrace covered by a pergola offers an ideal spot for al fresco dining. From here, a pathway meanders through groves of fruit and olive trees, leading to a stunning panoramic swimming pool measuring 18 x 6 meters. The pool area is fully equipped with sunbeds, deckchairs, beach umbrellas, and an adjoining changing room with shower and toilet facilities. There is also a pergola-furnished dining area with a kitchenette, barbecue, refrigerator, and a large table that seats 12, making it perfect for outdoor meals and gatherings. For those who prefer not to walk, the villa’s staff can drive guests to the pool area.

Il Galero is equipped with modern amenities to ensure a comfortable stay, including Wi-Fi internet connection, a laundry room with a washing machine and tumble dryer, satellite TV, and facilities for young children such as a crib, cot, and highchair. All twin and double bedrooms are air-conditioned, providing comfort during the warmer months.

Whether you’re seeking a peaceful retreat or a base to explore the rich history and culture of Veneto, Il Galero offers a luxurious and memorable experience in one of Italy’s most picturesque towns.
