CASA BRANDO

Description:
This imposing property was built in the 15th Century and since then it has remained the property of the Conti Brandolini d'Adda. It used to serve as the administrative headquarters of the Brandolini feud; the original decorations, the family's armature and statues testify to the buildings’ historical character.

The villa is located in Cison di Valmarino, a charming village in the foothills of the Dolomites, in an area famous for its food and wine, where the musician Vivaldi and the painter Titian grew up. It is less than an hour away from Venice and not far from the renowned resort of Cortina d' Ampezzo and Val Badia. The location is ideal either for relaxing in beautiful surroundings or for touring and discovering interesting places, including the many Palladian villas and small towns in the near vicinity.

The interiors have recently been completely restored to a very high standard, offering the experience of a Renaissance home furnished with both luxurious antiques belonging to the family for centuries and modern high quality design.

The 2 acres garden features a 18 meter swimming pool and a secluded sitting area under a monumental chestnut tree. In the year 2015 the Sunday Times Travel section called the Best of Italy has included this exceptional villa in Italy's 20 hottest hotels and villas, ranking it at nr. 12.
