Villa Azzoni degli Avogadro
Expanded and partially transformed in the 19th century, it overlooks a terraced garden, enclosed by a small rustic building, connected to the main house by an arched portal. The chapel is now separated from the complex by the road. The thickness of some load-bearing walls and the very irregular shape of the outer wall to the north suggest the ancient presence of a pre-existing structure, possibly part of the fortified system mentioned in local chronicles.
The villa hosts tourist apartments and is open to visits by reservation.
The 19th-century country villa of the Azzoni Avogadro family dominates from the top of a hill, surrounded by woods and cultivated fields.

Villa De Reali di Canossa
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>.

Villa Donà Romanin Jacur
As strange as it may seem, very little is known for certain about the villa: the date of construction is unknown, its architect is unknown, and the events surrounding it are vague. It was most likely commissioned by the Venetian patrician family of the Donà, who built it in the early decades of the 17th century, on the remains of a previous late 16th-century square-plan manor house.
In 1847, the Villa was acquired by the Jewish banking family Jacur from Padua. Internally, the layout is traditional with central halls, side rooms, and the staircase located to the east.
Only some parts of the frescoes in the ground floor hall remain visible. It is the hall located in the northeast that stands out as the most important room on the ground floor, perhaps of the entire Villa: a charming "sitting room" features frescoes of remarkable quality on mythological/religious themes, where putti rise to frame the windows and surround “mirrors” of marmorino—which originally were meant to host paintings, tapestries, or actual mirrors—giving the hall a scenic and sumptuous beauty.
The facade presents the classic modulation of Venetian villas with openings on three levels.
For opening days check the website; on those days two free guided tours are scheduled, from April to September at 16:30 and 17:30; from October to March at 15:00 and 16:01.

Villa Widmann Rezzonico Foscari
The traveler who in the eighteenth century faced the traditional Tour of Italy and, aboard the burchio went up the Brenta from Venice to Padua, could admire one of the jewels of the late Venetian Baroque: the complex of Villa Widmann Rezzonico Foscari.
Jewel among the jewels of the Brenta Riviera, Villa Widmann Rezzonico Foscari is characterized by its ancient statues, brilliant frescoes, created by Giuseppe Angeli and Gerolamo Mengozzi Colonna, Murano glass chandeliers and period furnishings. Its monumental park extends for over 16,000 square meters between avenues of hornbeams, ancient roses and a romantic lake with aquatic bald cypresses.
Built in the early eighteenth century by the will of the Serimanns, Venetian nobles of Persian origin, the Villa obtained its current shape only in the middle of the same century, when the Widmann family, after purchasing the property, modernized it adapting it to the French Rococo style. The central body thus became a welcoming home for parties and receptions. Currently the complex is owned by the Metropolitan City of Venice, formerly the Province of Venice.
