Packed full of Italian charm and character, Galero is a property for those who really want to soak up the style and lifestyle of a classic vacation in Italy. With manicured gardens full of blooms and statues and surprises, wonderful areas to dine al fresco, a stunning swimming pool area, and dreamy historic interiors full of life and colour, Galero is an unforgettable newly-listed property. Located in Asolo in Veneto, close to Padua, Treviso, and Venice, this dream villa is in an ideal spot for exploring this special part of Italy. Sleeping up to twelve guests in seven bedrooms with six bathrooms, Galero is the ultimate luxury villa in Veneto for an escape with some of the people you love most.
Upon approach, you will find that the villa is perched high on a hillside, affording sweeping views across the Asolo plain, extending to the Euganean Hills and even Venice on clear days throughout your stay. The lush gardens around the villa are shaded by centuries-old trees and unfold across multiple terraced levels, providing a true oasis in which guests can unwind and forget the rest of the world for a while. A private outdoor lounge area has been beautifully set up at the villa’s entrance and is furnished with sofas, umbrellas, a table and chairs, and other careful touches to make dining and relaxing al fresco all the more pleasant.
A rear terrace to the back of the villa connects it to its annex, the parking area, and the gorgeous pool area with views over Asolo and the surrounding plains. A lush oasis hugs this beautiful pool and a pergola draped in greenery for dining in the shade overlooks the pool while sun loungers frame it, setting guests up for perfect long, lazy, relaxing days by the water. For those who are all about eating outdoors as much as possible, they'll be happy to note that there is also a full outdoor kitchen and barbecue alongside the al fresco dining area. Additionally, there are two play areas featuring table tennis, table football, a swing, slide, and trampoline, which is sure to please any children (or children at heart) in the group.
The property itself is actually composed of four buildings, including the main villa which is spread over 3 floors, a two-storey annex with a bedroom accommodating 2 guests, the owner's residence known as the barchessa with its own independent garden, and a chapel. All of the outdoor facilities including the garden, pergola, and swimming pool are reserved exclusively for guests, while the owner's house and garden remain completely separate. This allows for your total privacy and space yet having the owners at hand ensures your comfort and security throughout your stay – the best of both worlds.
As noted, the villa is also ideally located for making the most of your time in Veneto. The centre of Asolo, known as one of the most beautiful villages in Italy and which has drawn the likes of Robert Browning, Eleonora Duse, Ernest Hemingway, Igor Stravinsky, and Freya Stark throughout history, is a short walk from the house. The surrounding landscape features Palladian villas, medieval walled towns, and vineyards producing the incredible Asolo Prosecco Superiore DOCG. Treviso is 37 kilometers away, Padua is 48 kilometers away, Vicenza is 51 kilometers away, Venice is 69 kilometers away, and special day-trips to Verona, the Alps, and Lake Garda are all possible.
Plus, if you don't want to drive all of the time, the railway stations of Montebelluna, Castelfranco Veneto, and Bassano del Grappa are all within 16 kilometers of the villa. Close at hand to Galero, meanwhile, is the golf at Asolo Golf Club with its three scenic courses, cycling and hiking routes such as those Poggio San Martino, local horseback riding schools, paragliding and hang gliding near Monte Grappa, the monthly antique market each second Sunday in Asolo, and more.
Inside, the villa is a dream of stucco work, 18th-century Venetian marble, fascinating works of art, antiques, and spacious rooms full of life, colour, and character. On the ground floor of the main villa, you will find the large and pretty country-style kitchen with all of the mod-cons you could need and an elegant dining room with fine stucco work, Venetian plaster in soft green, ochre, and white tones, gilded accents, and a ceiling decorated with embossed putti and allegorical motifs. The lovely living room is also spacious and ornate with pale blue, ochre, and white Venetian plaster and there is a cosy sitting room in pastel pink and white with a fireplace and a decorative stucco panel. A laundry room, an orangery designed for relaxation and fitness, a patio with an outdoor dining table, and a guest bathroom complete this floor.
On the first floor, there are two of the bedrooms; the White Room (30 square meters) with a king-size bed, Venetian stucco décor, and a private bathroom with bathtub and the Pink Room (29 square meters) with pink Venetian plaster, a king-size bed, and a private bathroom with bathtub. This floor also features the Drawing Room, which was formerly Cardinal Rubini's quarters, with a religious-themed canopy, fireplace, and ornate stucco moulding.
On the second floor there are four more bedrooms: the Panoramic Suite (27 square meters), a double en suite room with 360-degree views over the hills and gardens, a canopy bed, and a living area with desk, armchairs, and a fireplace; a single room that shares a bathroom with the Panoramic Suite; the Art Deco Room (21 square meters), an en suite twin room; and the Garden room, which is an en suite junior suite with a sofa bed in the sitting room. The Beretta Annex is the independent guesthouse (65 square meters) near the main villa that accommodates 2 guests in one bedroom, an entrance corridor and living room with armchairs and a sofa bed, a double bedroom with a canopy bed, a bathroom with bathtub, and a small private garden. Air-conditioning, a minibar, and a safe is available in each bedroom and WIFI is offered throughout the property.
