Built in the 17th century on the ruins of an ancient Benedictine abbey, Villa De Reali di Canossa is one of the most significant examples of Venetian Baroque architecture in the Treviso area. The central body is characterized by an elegant façade with a pediment decorated with the coats of arms of the De Reali family, which are also present in the interiors.
The ground floor, featuring a large loggia, hosts an archaeological museum with finds from the excavations of Altino. Of particular value are the Venetian stuccos that decorate four rooms on the noble floor. The complex also includes farm buildings, stables, wells, a pond, and a historic park that surrounds the villa, enriched by a collection of cippi and Roman stones, as well as a rich collection of antique maps.
A portion of the villa has been restored to host events, business meetings, and ceremonies. With over 1,000 square meters of exhibition spaces, large halls, and parking, Villa De Reali represents an ideal setting for conferences, receptions, and cultural activities.
Its strategic location, just a few minutes from Venice and close to major highways, makes it a privileged starting point for excursions in the Veneto region, including the Palladian Villas.
The villa is <b>open on weekdays</b>, during office hours, while <b>it remains closed on Saturday and Sunday</b>.
