“We live, look after and enhance an ancient castle handed down from a generation to another in the heart of the city of Thiene a few kilometers away from Vicenza and other important art cities. Decorations, frescos, furniture and documents impart the beauty of the history and tradition, of the arts and the trades, of the economy and the intellectual brightness there once was. We greet our visitors and we accompany them through a guided tour to the discovery of halls and stable; we host them in the heart of the castle in suites where time has stopped, we organize exhibitions to show artisan work, theatre plays for families, educational visits for schools, concerts, weddings and other cultural events. We look into every single detail to make the experience unique. We are driven by passion and by the wish that our home, rich with history and stories, gets to be known.
Passing the tower at the entrance one is brought back to the past: the majestic and powerful the castle retains the sobriety and charm of a 15th century building, with period furniture, paintings and frescoes; the large rooms, the splendid stables and a large romantic park guarantee prestige and elegance and offer maximum flexibility of use.
