his is a place to visit if you want to live like a lord for a day or so. What is nice about Thiene is that it is only 25 minutes drive from Vicenza, but you really are in a genuine local town rather than a tourist place. The restaurants and cafes are a short walk away and are full of the buzz of an Italian town. We reckoned we were the only people in the restaurants and cafes who were not Italian. And so they welcomed us more than usual ! The welcome was outstanding and the castello, in which we were given a comprehensive private tour, was amazing. Ancient frescoes in the principal rooms and in our bedroom, and splendour indeed. I got airs above my station.

It's a private residence, open in certain times of the year as a host for small city markets and exhibitions. Usually there is an entrance fee. You can't see all the house, only the ground floor, the stable, and the court.

This is far more a villa than a castle, but it is a striking example of a Venetian Gothic villa, very different from the standard Palladian villa. The frescoes are very well done and the guide does an excellent job explaining them. The stable is supposedly the most beautiful in Europe, and I have certainly not seen anything that can top it. Well worth a visit.…
