The story of the Villa
with a glass of wine

Visiting Villa La Favorita means taking part in a ritual that brings architectural beauty together with wine excellence. Each visit follows a route through the rooms of the piano nobile, the underground cellars and the garden, accompanied by a tasting of Cielo e Terra wines.

Your guide will tell the story of the frescoes, the legend of the secret tunnel and the connection with the castles of Montecchio Maggiore, known as the castles of Romeo and Juliet.

Weddings

A legendary love
in a timeless setting

Villa La Favorita hosts civil and religious weddings: imagine saying yes in a national monument where history meets passion.
The ceremony can take place in the garden, among the cedars of the park, or inside the frescoed halls. The reception can unfold across the Great Hall, the smaller rooms and the outdoor spaces.

The proximity to the places that inspired the story of Romeo and Juliet gives every ceremony a magical and unique atmosphere.

Our
story

Built in 1715 by Francesco Muttoni, the Vicenza architect who carried the Palladian legacy further than anyone else, Villa La Favorita stands on the top of a vine-covered hill in Monticello di Conte Otto, a few kilometres from Vicenza. The entrance avenue, lined with centuries-old cypresses, leads to a residence that time has treated with respect: the symmetrical facade, the frescoed rooms of the piano nobile, the vaulted brick cellars on the lower floor and the 7,000 sqm garden with its ancient cedars.

The Villa
today

Today Villa La Favorita is the representative venue of Cielo e Terra, one of the most recognisable wine producers in Veneto and a certified B Corp. The Villa is not a museum and it is not a hotel: it is a living place, visited with a glass of wine in hand, hosting weddings and conferences, and opening its cellars to those who want to take home a bottle or simply discover the local wine tradition.

Every space tells a story.
The frescoes of the Great Hall depict mythological scenes over which, through time, the concrete story of a family that transformed this hill into a project has been layered.
The underground cellars, cool and silent, preserve the labels of a production that begins with Prosecco di Monteberico, celebrated as early as 1754 in the poem Il Roccolo Ditirambo as the purest wine of the Berici Hills, and reaches the great red wines of the area.

“They say a secret tunnel runs beneath the Villa,
perhaps once used by a lover to enter unseen.

No one has ever fully confirmed it.
No one has ever denied it.”
