Villa Molin is named after the ambassador of the Venetian Republic Nicolò Molin, who in 1597 commissioned the famous architect Vincenzo Scamozzi to design his splendid country villa.
Situated in an ideal location, between the center of Padua and the Euganean hills, Villa Molin elegantly reflects on the waters of the Battaglia canal, still preserving its original appearance.
The villa will welcome you among its beautifully frescoed rooms, taking you on a journey through time in a blend of art and nature that will engage all your senses, allowing you to experience an unforgettable moment.
The villa offers Virtual Tours in Italian and English and brochures in Italian, German, French, Ukrainian, Russian, and English.
The staff speaks fluent English, with some having an excellent command of Russian, German, and French.
