Description

Located in the heart of the Prosecco region of Veneto, Villa Carisi is a truly unique and rare property.

The villa was built in an agricultural setting in the 18th century, in the distinctive Venetian style of the period. It was commissioned by Venetian noble families as a summer residence and as a strategic base from which they could better oversee their commercial routes and, consequently, the family’s financial interests.

Today, Villa Carisi enjoys an exceptionally enviable strategic location. To the west, Padua can be reached in just 20 minutes by car, while Venice lies approximately 20 minutes to the south and Treviso to the east. Both cities, with their two international airports, provide connections to destinations around the world. For mountain lovers, the Alps provide a spectacular backdrop to the villa and are just a short drive away, while the Adriatic coast can be reached in less than an hour to the south. In short, the location offers something for everyone.

The villa, now fully restored and returned to the splendour of its original character thanks to the meticulous research and attention to detail of its recent owners, is set within a magnificent private park, itself beautifully maintained down to the smallest detail. The grounds feature formal Italian gardens, centuries-old trees and a stunning outdoor swimming pool.

Villa Carisi extends over two floors, with each room possessing its own unique character and housing within it rare objects, Murano glass chandeliers and period features. On the ground floor, the main entrance hall leads to a series of elegant rooms, including anterooms, sitting rooms and dining rooms, as well as a beautiful country-style kitchen. From this level, there is direct access to the swimming pool, while an internal staircase leads to the Piano Nobile’s private sitting room, where a particularly rare feature awaits: a private chapel.

In fact, over the centuries, the villa was transformed into a monastery, and a chapel was subsequently added. It remains consecrated and fully functional to this day. The first floor offers four spacious bedrooms: three doubles and one single. The latter has a particularly fascinating history, as it was the room in which Pope Pius X stayed during his time at the villa. There are also two bathrooms with windows and several anterooms that can be configured according to the owner’s needs.

But there is more. The former caretaker’s wing and the stables, both directly connected to the villa, have recently been converted and fully renovated, creating two additional independent residential units. Both feature their own private entrances and independent facilities, and each offers exceptionally generous accommodation arranged over two floors.

Completing the Villa Carisi estate is a magnificent large Barchessa, a traditional Venetian agricultural outbuilding, arranged over two floors. Inside is an original historic oven that was once used as the village’s communal bread oven.

The Barchessa, which can be renovated and configured according to the new owner’s vision, offers the potential to create additional residential units, hospitality facilities or a restaurant and catering spaces. This makes Villa Carisi not only an exceptional private residence, but also an outstanding investment opportunity, with the potential to generate income through commercial activities such as conferences, private events and luxury weddings.
