Overview
The romanticism of this house makes it truly exceptional. The playfully charming Tempietto was built in 1822 in pure neoclassical style. It was conceived as a place to which to retire - and not necessarily alone - and true to its purpose stands in one of the most beautiful spots of the park within a slightly sloping clearance which blossoms with poppies and daisies in spring.
The front of the house, as with a real temple, is an open but protected portico where guests have their meals when the weather is fine. The main facade of house was restored in spring 2009, the interior decoration received a facelift at the same time. The two lateral facades will be restored in 2010. Guests should be aware that the house is fairly isolated within the park.

Guest reviews
Nous tenons tout d’abord à vous remercier sincèrement pour la qualité de votre prestation. Notre séjour au domaine Frassanelle, dans le petit temple du 19 au 26 juillet, s’est déroulé en tous points conformément à notre attente. Nous tenons à remercier à cette occasion Madame Papafava pour son accueil et sa discrète bienveillance à notre égard. Un autre merci particulier à la régisseuse... Nous avons été enchantés par l’environnement somptueux de Tempietto et la qualité de la restauration du pavillon. Par ailleurs, nos enfants ont pu profiter en toute sécurité et à l’envie de la piscine dont le personnel de surveillance est d’une rara courtoisie. La Vénétie est une région magnifique et Frassanelle idéalement placé pour profiter de Venise et Padoue. A notre retour nous avons déjà vanté les mérites de votre entreprise auprès de proches susceptibles de faire appel à ses prestations. L’année prochaine, nous espérons nous rendre en Toscane et nous ne manquerons pas de faire appel à vous. A bientôt,
P. et N. Moutiers, Chartres, France – juillet 2008

The Estate Frassanelle
Country life in Venetia in search of history, harmony and beauty. Stay in luxuriously restored houses whithin the historical estate of Frassanelle, an undisclosed oasis of peace between Venice, Padua and Vicenza.
Frassanelle is one of the great Venetian properties. The 150 hectare estate consists of a Venetian Villa, a 19th century english park, a skillfully designed 18 hole golf course and cultivated farmland. All this 20 km south-west of Padua, within easy reach of the famous historic villas of the Veneto, many of them built by the great Italian architect Andrea Palladio, as also the Italian cities of Venice (50 km), Vicenza (23 km), Verona (90 km), Ferrara (80 km), Mantua (98 km), Asolo and the Lake district. Frassanelle reaveals its delights slowly and elegantly.
Leaving the bustling Venetian activities behind you, the drive leads you on a simple country road through fields which melt into the natural park of the Eugenean hills. You will soon discover the main villa of Frassanelle on top of one of the hills, seemingly shielding the elegantly structured farm buildings, the beautifully restored farmhouse La Bencontenta and a wonderfully romantic 19th century garden folly reminiscent of a palladian temple.
The estate of Frassanelle has been in the hands of the Counts Papafava since the 13th century, well over 700 years.
From May to October, on Monday mornings or afternoons, the Estate will take you on a guided tour of the estate. Highlight of the tour are the surprisingly large artificial grottoes built at the end of the 19th century under the main villa. The tour will end with a visit to the falconers stationed on the Estate, with a show of free flying falcons. Bolder guests can also try to hold the falcons on their wrist.

Activities & Places of interest
- The immense cultural whealth and variety of Venetia is the main reason for visiting this area. Frassanelle's strategic position makes for many an inspiring day trip to Padova, Venice, Vicenza, Verona, Ferrara, lake Garda as well as Este, Montagnana, Monselice and Arqua' Petrarca in the immediate vicinity.
- The Venetian Villas: The hinterland of Venice is famous for the numerous villas (apparently more than 3.000) built between the 15th and the 19th century by whealthy venetians. Some of them are open to the public, for instance Villa Barbaro in Maser, Villa Emo in Fanzolo, and the Villa La Rotonda outside Vicenza. Other interesting villas are the villa Valmarana "Ai Nani" with frescoes by Tiepolo, the Catajo castle and villa Barbarigo which has a baroque garden with boxwood labyrinth.
- The main cultural landmarks of northern Italy: Frassanelle’s strategic location makes easy day trips to Padua, Venice, Vicenza, Vérona, Ferrara, lake Garda, Este, Montagnana, Monselice, or Arqua’Petrarca. Each of these towns offers highly interesting sight-seeing. In Padua you will not want to miss „Cappella degli Scrovegni“ with wall to wall frescoes by Giotto. This work of art is considered to be the beginning of the Renaissance. The Pinacoteca of Padua also has the Emo Capodilista collection on show which was given to the Museum by the family, one of the oldest of Padua.
- The Spas at Abano: The town of Abano Terme lies 12 km from Frassanelle. In Abano water rich in minerals rises to the surface at a temperature of 70° to 80°C. A half or full day at one of the many spas is a wonderful way to recuperate your inner strength.
Sports
- The Golf Club Frassanelle is considered the best in the area. The club house at Frassanelle - a cleverly converted farm building with a pleasant restaurant - serves excellent light lunches and full dinners. Reduced green fees for guests of Frassanelle.
- Two further 18 hole golf clubs are in the near surroundings. The Golf Montecchia and the Golf di Padova are both at a distance of 15 minutes by car.
