Villa Sant’Anna, a splendid property with echoes of the Occitan style, is situated on the outskirts of Asolo, an attractive historic centre in Northern Italy, described by Giosuè Carducci as ‘ the city of the hundred horizons, ‘ in homage to its beautiful landscape.
The location is private, and dominates the landscape with a marvellous view of the surrounding scenery and immersed in the greenery of its garden of approximately 1 hectare.
The centre of Asolo, around 1 km away, can also be reached on foot, while important cities like Padua (54 km), Vicenza (50 km) Belluno (62 km) and Venice (78 km) are around an hour away by car.
The nearest airport is Treviso, half an hour by car (40 km) while Venice and Marco Polo International airport are around 50 minutes away (80 km).
