Do you remember those childhood moments, wandering through sun-drenched summers with your family? Stopping in awe before graceful estates, your fingers curled around the cool iron bars of the gate, straining to catch a glimpse of the life unfolding beyond those grand doors. What lay within those walls—artworks, history, or perhaps even secret passageways connecting elegantly adorned rooms? Now, the five-star luxury haven of Villa Cordevigo in Cavaion Veronese invites you to step beyond the entrance gate and uncover these mysteries for yourself.
Villa Cordevigo will unveil what lies behind the cypress-lined avenue by offering monthly guided tours, inviting visitors to explore the hidden spaces and artworks within the estate. Among the highlights are the small San Martino church, an Italian-style garden featuring a stunning fountain, and a romantic park home to centuries-old trees.
One of the most notable features of the tour is the San Martino church, which houses an exquisite collection of over 3,000 relics and is preserved within this quaint yet sanctified chapel. Each year on November 11th, Saint Martin’s Day, the church welcomes the community for an intimate Mass. After the service, a traditional gathering takes place in the Villa’s courtyard, bringing together locals and visitors to celebrate the occasion and honour the region.
The opening of this historic villa to the public seeks to emphasise the value of this magical place and foster appreciation of its importance. It serves as an open-air museum, offering its unique beauty for all to enjoy from this summer onwards.
