Via Lorenzo Valla, 1, Padova

This is in the built-up area of Padova on the Venetian plain, between the Bacchiglione and Brenta river systems. The Euganean Hills Regional Park begins a short distance to the southwest, with volcanic hills, villas, monasteries and spa towns around Abano Terme and Montegrotto Terme. Padova is the nearest city of size and has a large historic centre, the Basilica of Saint Anthony, Palazzo della Ragione, the Prato della Valle, and the Scrovegni Chapel; the city is on UNESCO’s list for its 14th-century fresco cycles. The area is known for the dense network of canals, cultivated plain, and the historic city itself.
