SELF-GUIDED VISIT TO CATAJO CASTLE, VILLA SELVATICO OR VALSANZIBIO GARDEN
The territory of the Euganean Hills Natural Park has been a destination for travelers since the time of the Grand Tour, thanks to the presence of the Spa and Petrarca’s house in Arquà. During the Renaissance period, the Euganean Hills became a popular destination for vacations with the construction of Venetian villas, and during the Enlightenment, botanists, geologists, naturalists and poets frequented these places, attracted by the environmental peculiarities.
This minivan tour with driver includes stops at three of the main attractions of the Spa and Euganean Hills area. Get off at the designated stops to explore at your own pace, then get back on board when you’re done. You’ll have 2 hours to visit the chosen site independently.
