Bad weather

Nice place for bike and tracking excursions

Wonderful views from here.

Bella

(Translated by Google) Beautiful villa overlooking the Montegrotto Terme plain. Visited on a day organized by Fai. Applause to the guys who explained the history of the villa. It can be accessed in 10 minutes on foot from the car park via a dirt road. Various paths also start from here. Worth a visit! (Original) Bellissima villa che domina la pianura di Montegrotto Terme. Visitata in una giornata organizzata dal Fai. Un plauso ai ragazzi che hanno spiegato la storia della villa. Vi si accede in 10 minuti a piedi dal parcheggio tramite strada sterrata. Da qui partono anche diversi sentieri. Merita una visita!

(Translated by Google) Beautiful, well-preserved mid-19th century villa on the outskirts of Montegrotto. It is closed and cannot be visited. Located in a large park on the slopes of Monte Alto, it can be reached on foot with a few minutes of easy climb. Splendid panorama over the hills and the plain almost to the sea. For those who want to take a nice walk, numerous paths branch off behind the villa, quite well marked by white/red signs lasting from 20 minutes to two hours. At the entrance to the park there is a large car park and the iron art and spa museum. (Original) Bella villa di metà 800 ben conservata alla periferia di Montegrotto. È chiusa e non visitabile. Collocata in un grande parco sulle pendici del Monte Alto si raggiunge a piedi con pochi minuti di salita non impegnativa. Panorama splendido sui colli e sulla pianura fin quasi al mare. Per chi avesse voglia di fare una bella passeggiata, dietro la villa si diramano numerosi sentieri abbastanza bene segnalati da cartelli bianco/rossi con durata dai 20 minuti alle due ore. All' ingresso del parco ampio parcheggio ed il museo del ferro d'arte e delle terme.

(Translated by Google) Beautifully restored historic villa at the foot of Monte Alto. Magnificent views of the towns of Montegrotto Terme and Abano Terme, and far beyond the Euganean Hills. It's a 10- to 15-minute drive from Abano Terme to Villa Draghi. From a large parking lot, Villa Draghi can be reached via the villa's driveway in 10 minutes, or, depending on the trail chosen, in 1-2 hours. Large overview maps showing the various trails are available at the parking lot and at the information center. The mostly wooded paths are now well marked, signposted, and maintained. Sturdy footwear is recommended for some sections, however. Walkers, hikers, and mountain bikers share the various trails. The villa itself can unfortunately only be viewed from the outside, although sometimes from the inside during special events. Individual smaller rooms and the large terrace above the villa are also made available for exhibitions and events by the municipality of Montegrotto or the corresponding association. A trip with a walk or short hike is definitely worth it. (Original) Sehr schön restaurierte historische Villa am Fuß des Monte Alto. Herrlicher Blick auf die Orte Montegrotto Terme sowie Abano Terme und weit über die Euganeischen Hügel. In 10 – 15 Minuten fährt man mit dem Auto von Abano Terme zur Villa Draghi. Von einem großen Parkplatz aus kann man die Villa Draghi über die Villenauffahrt in 10 Minuten, oder je nach Wahl des Wanderweges in 1 – 2 Stunden erreichen. Große Übersichtskarten mit den verschiedenen Wegen sind am Parkplatz und am Infogebäude angebracht. Inzwischen sind die meist bewaldeten Wege auch gut markiert, beschildert und ausgebaut. Gutes Schuhwerk ist für einige Stellen trotzdem zu empfehlen. Spaziergänger, Wanderer und Mountainbiker teilen sich die verschiedenen Strecken. Die Villa selbst ist leider nur von außen zu besichtigen, bei speziellen Veranstaltungen manchmal auch von innen. Einzeln kleinere Räume und die große Terrasse oberhalb der Villa werden von der Gemeinde Montegrotto bzw. dem entsprechenden Verein auch für Ausstellungen und Events zur Verfügung gestellt. Ein Ausflug mit Spaziergang oder kleiner Wanderung lohnt sich auf alle Fälle.

We really enjoyed this small museum. The most interesting part was the building itself. Too bad a previous tenant had plastered over the beautiful frescoes.

Nice villa with interesting exhibitions.

Bah

Disorganizzati.

(Translated by Google) Nice villa with frescoed rooms. There are temporary exhibitions (not always beautiful) and a permanent exhibition with some not exceptional paintings. Very kind staff, well-kept environment. It is still worth a visit...perhaps the permanent part should be expanded (Original) Villa carina con sale affrescate. Ci sono mostre temporanee ( non sempre belle ) e una mostra permanente con alcuni dipinti non eccezionali. Personale molto gentile, ambiente curato. Merita comunque una visita..forse dovrebbe venire ampliata la parte permanente

(Translated by Google) Beautiful Venetian villa located in Abano, with a permanent art gallery and many beautiful traveling exhibitions always good to take a look at the site to see what they offer. Also events in the outdoor garden (Original) Bella villa veneta situata ad Abano, con pinacoteca permanente e molte belle mostre itineranti sempre bene dare uni sguardo al sito per vedere cosa propongono. Anche eventi nel giardino esterno

(Translated by Google) A wonderful place! Villa Bassi is a unique setting, combining art, history, and architectural beauty. The Women Power exhibition, which I had the pleasure of visiting, is an intense and inspiring journey: it celebrates female creativity with great sensitivity and strength. As a woman, an artist, and a professional, I felt part of an authentic and powerful dialogue. It's an experience I recommend to anyone who wants to be moved by art in an extraordinary setting. (Original) Un luogo meraviglioso! Villa Bassi è un contesto unico, che unisce arte, storia e bellezza architettonica. La mostra Women Power, che ho avuto il piacere di visitare, è un percorso intenso e ispirante: celebra con grande sensibilità e forza la creatività femminile. Come donna, artista e professionista, mi sono sentita parte di un dialogo autentico e potente. Un’esperienza che consiglio a chiunque voglia lasciarsi emozionare dall’arte in un contesto straordinario.

It's nothing to see. We came in February to see beautiful sculptures (in google maps many nice photos, but park is empty), not interesting for visit. Maybe in summer time looks better. Playground is ok, promenade is nice, there is a road for bicycles there.

This park is nice but we couldn't find the statue depicted in our search.

Very nice park. I was especting to see a lot of fountains....

Very nice experience, nothing special, but everything is well maintained and pleasant for spending a few hours.

A nice park worth a walk, has a good play area for kids.

Such a lovely place, playgrounds, benches, fountains, grass.. nature.

Park is nice, but kid zone needs some renovations

Although not a particularly significant monument, the church is the result of stratified architectural interventions in the various eras and the last refurbishment dates back to the early decades of the 20th century. The interior has a classical layout with a single nave and the apsidal presbytery area, delimited by two large chapels, decorated with imposing Corinthian columns. Worthy of note is the prestigious musical activity that regularly takes place during the various cultural events held in this church. Of particular note are the organ concerts (the church has a magnificent instrument) of the highest artistic quality.

Wow! What an amazing historical site.

(Translated by Google) Historical building. The Duomo di San Lorenzo in Abano Terme, a church dedicated to Saint Lawrence, is one of the central churches of this small spa town near Padua, Italy. Its history goes back several centuries, as the town of Abano Terme has been known for its thermal springs since Roman times, and the church has played an important role in the life of the local population throughout history. Church of St. Lovrenca was rebuilt and renovated several times, and it got its present form in the 18th century. The interior of the church reflects the characteristics of the Italian Baroque, with a richly decorated apse, works of art and frescoes adorning the walls. The most important work of art in the church is the painting of St. Lawrence, the patron saint of the church, known in Christian tradition as a martyr, killed during the persecution of Christians in the 3rd century. The Duomo di San Lorenzo is not only a religious building, but also a historical symbol of the city, appreciated by locals and visitors as a place of prayer and spiritual gathering, as well as a witness to the rich cultural heritage of Abano Terme. Despite the fact that they close the doors at 12:00, they politely let us finish the tour. And they didn't mind taking pictures either. (Original) Zgodovinski objekt. Duomo di San Lorenzo v Abano Terme, cerkev posvečena svetemu Lovrencu, je ena izmed osrednjih cerkva tega majhnega zdraviliškega mesta blizu Padove v Italiji. Njena zgodovina sega več stoletij nazaj, saj je mesto Abano Terme že od rimskih časov poznano po svojih termalnih vrelcih, cerkev pa je skozi zgodovino igrala pomembno vlogo v življenju lokalnega prebivalstva. Cerkev sv. Lovrenca je bila večkrat obnovljena in prenovljena, pri čemer je svojo današnjo obliko dobila v 18. stoletju. Notranjost cerkve odraža značilnosti italijanskega baroka, z bogato okrašeno apsido, umetniškimi deli in freskami, ki krasijo stene. Najpomembnejše umetniško delo v cerkvi je slika svetega Lovrenca, zavetnika cerkve, ki je v krščanski tradiciji poznan kot mučenik, umorjen med preganjanjem kristjanov v 3. stoletju. Duomo di San Lorenzo ni le religiozna stavba, ampak tudi zgodovinski simbol mesta, ki ga domačini in obiskovalci cenijo kot kraj molitve in duhovne zbranosti, pa tudi kot pričevalec bogate kulturne dediščine Abano Terme. Kljub temu, da ob 12h zapirajo vrata so nama vljudno pustili da končamo ogled. In tudi fotografiranje jih ni motilo.

(Translated by Google) The cathedral, begun in 1780 and designed by Domenico Cerato, was finished at the end of the 19th century and consecrated in 1935. The neoclassical style façade from 1905 was rebuilt in 1967 in neo-Romanesque style. On the facade the elements that characterize the four evangelists stand out: the ox, the eagle, the lion and the angel, works by Luigi Strazzabosco. The larger one is furnished by the tabernacle of the Blessed Sacrament and on the counter-façade two statues from the destruction of the Paduan church of Sant'Agostino depicting Faith and Hope created by Domenico and his son Tommaso Allio,[2] and purchased before 1822 by the archpriest Gaspare Motti.[9] The altar paintings have different dates. The seventeenth-century painting is by Alessandro Maganza: Saint John the Baptist, and the canvas by Antonio Zanchi depicting Saint Joseph with Child is from the same period. Bartolomeo Litterini's canvas with the Flagellation of Christ is dated 1712, while there are two paintings by Pitocchetto: Christ in Glory with Saints and San Lorenzo.[2] (Original) Il duomo iniziato nel 1780 su progetto di Domenico Cerato fu terminato alla fine del XIX secolo e consacrato nel 1935. La facciata in stile neoclassico del 1905, fu rifatta nel 1967 in stile neoromanico. Sulla facciata spiccano i gli elementi che caratterizzano i quattro evangelisti: il bue, l'aquila, il leone e l'angelo, opere di Luigi Strazzabosco. Quello maggiore è arredato dal ciborio del Santissimo Sacramento e sulla controfacciata due statue provenienti dalla distruzione della chiesa padovana di Sant'Agostino raffiguranti la Fede e la Speranza realizzati da Domenico e dal figlio Tommaso Allio,[2] e acquistate prima del 1822 dall'arciprete Gaspare Motti.[9] Le tele degli altari hanno datazioni differenti. Di Alessandro Maganza è il seicentesco dipinto: San Giovanni Battista, e del medesimo periodo le tela di Antonio Zanchi raffigurante San Giuseppe col Bambino. Datata 1712 la tela di Bartolomeo Litterinicon la Flagellazione di Cristo, mentre sono due le pitture del Pitocchetto: Cristo in gloria con santi e San Lorenzo.[2]

(Translated by Google) A small village church built in the late 18th century. It features some works by a Milanese artist known as "il pitocchetto" (the pitocchetto) for his talent for painting the poor. Nothing exceptional. (Original) Piccola chiesetta di paese costruita a fine 700. Presenta qualche opera di un artista milanese definito il il pitocchetto per la sua attitudine a dipingere i poveri. Nulla di eccezionale

(Translated by Google) The history of the Cathedral of San Lorenzo di Abano begins in very ancient times. In fact, it appears today as the eighteenth-century rebuilding of several parish churches from a previous era. Archaeological evidence suggests that a place of worship already existed in Roman times, in the place where the Cathedral stands today. Numerous valuable works are kept in the Cathedral of San Lorenzo, including paintings, sculptures and sacred furnishings. The High Altar, the Tabernacle of the Blessed Sacrament and the sculptures representing Faith and Hope by Tommaso and Domenico Allio come from the church of Sant'Agostino in Padua, demolished in 1819 by order of the Austrian government. (Original) La storia del Duomo di San Lorenzo di Abano ha inizio in tempi molto antichi. Esso infatti si presenta oggi come la riedificazione settecentesca di diversi pievi di epoca precedente. Le testimonianze archeologiche fanno pensare che già in epoca romana, nel luogo dove oggi sorge il Duomo, esistesse un luogo di culto. Nel Duomo di San Lorenzo sono custodite numerose opere di pregio, tra cui dipinti, sculture ed arredi sacri. L'Altare Maggiore, il Tabernacolo del Santissimo Sacramento e le sculture che rappresentano La Fede e La Speranza di Tommaso e Domenico Allio, provengono dalla chiesa di Sant'Agostino di Padova, demolita nel 1819 su ordinanza del governo austriaco.

(Translated by Google) The Cathedral of San Lorenzo is the oldest religious building in the spa town. In its square, there was a Roman necropolis. Various finds have come to light, including gravestones and personal objects. Romanesque Gothic church, it is recognized by the imposing iron door, while next to it, you can admire the new Lourdes Grotto. Inside there are numerous valuable works, including paintings, sculptures and furnishings. Very beautiful and bright, worth stopping for a visit if you are passing through. (Original) Il Duomo di San Lorenzo è Il più antico edificio religioso della cittadina termale. Nella sua piazza, sorgeva una necropoli romana. Vari reperti ne sono venuti alla luce, tra cui lapidi ed oggetti personali. Chiesa romanico gotica, si riconosce dall'imponente portone in ferro, mentre accanto ad essa, si può ammirare la nuova Grotta di Lourdes. All'interno sono custodite numerose opere di pregio, tra cui dipinti, sculture ed arredi. Molto bella e luminosa, da fermarsi per una visita se si è di passaggio.

Stopped by on the drive from Bologna to Cortina D'ampezzo and this was a pleasant find! Decently crowded in early June. Seafood was tasty and fresh and pasta did not disappoint. Salad - 4 stars Seafood platter - 4.5 stars Vongole - 4.5 stars

Family business conducted with pride and very tasty food!! Highly reccomanded.

Great food! Go for the house wine (red) Octopus was just amazing along with the risotto.

Uniqueness: 9/10 Experience: 9/10 Value: 9/10 Hidden place. Secret recipes. Pleasant atmosphere. Friendly people. Great choice nearby Venice.

Great food, wonderful atmosphere and reasonable prices

Really good recipes from the veneto tradition, generous portions and really tasty. Really nice waiters, nice location

Add this to your Bucket list, Absolutely Delicious, you must experience fine dining here 👍🏽👍🏽

Lovely and nice settings proposing a wide variety of food and drinks, efficient friendly staff and fast service. Free parking lot. Tasty menu, from starter to desert and pizzas. Pets welcomed.

Very good atmosphere and great food

The place is nice especially during the summer as they have a beautiful well furnished garden. Food quality and service are at a good level. Prices are a bit over the average but beside that I have been fully satisfied.

We run out of 5star boutique hotel and found unbelievable trattoria with delicious local italian food, great vine and nice staff. Sweets were extraordinary same as meat and sea food. We also tryid pasta (bigolli) and it was amazing too. We appreciate quality, taste and environment. Thank you. Hope to come again.

We were four adults and three children, went for lunch. We had pizza except for one kid who had the burger. We drank water. At the end we had three coffees: a macchiato, a lungo and a normal espresso. The last should have been a macchiato with plant based milk but there was none. Also one of the guests would have liked to have fruit juice together with her pizza but was met with denial. Except for this all was perfect, especially the food. The pizza was outstanding and the burger was stellar.

We had dinner here twice while on a small vacation in the town. We really enjoyed the place, I especially loved the pizza and how good the dough was.

We love the ambience of this restaurant and the pizza is one of the best we’ve ever had!

I'd like to say that it was a nice dinner, but the service was so poor. I was very disappointed. After having finished eating, I waited for over 15 minutes before I just asked to have my plate cleared. Then another long wait to ask if I wanted something else. Very disappointed. Shameful, bc the pasta was good.

The restaurant is in a beautiful location, right in the middle of Colli. The waiters are nice people and work really hard, but because the place is so crowded, they don’t have time to give you proper attention. The service is very fast, it feels more like a factory than a restaurant. They offer many different kinds of food, but that affects the quality. For example, we had pizza, and I didn’t really like it. Overall, the atmosphere gave me anxiety, and I wouldn’t go back.

Very efficient service, nice serving size, fresh and tasty food, very large pizza size and good price. Free parking in front of restaurant.

Bella location! Dehor ampio, con molti tavoli. Il servizio è efficiente e gentile. Le pizze sono buone, anche la pasta. Location: El Gaucho is located in a nice countryside area. it’s pretty fancy but the location is very nice. Big terrace for the hot days,m! Food and drink: while waiting for your order, you can enjoy different sorts of bread sticks, bread, crackers. Pizza is quite good and other main courses too. Service: really nice and efficient! The staff is friendly and supportive. We have been offered a drink as well :)

Good food, above all pizza. Besides this last one, you can also eat other food such as meat or fish. About meat dishes, there is more choice than for fish ones. We have ordered both fish, meat and pizza and everything was tasty. The restaurant is rustic, very cozy and romantic, too.

Great pizza, very good value as well. Tasty and fun Italian family atmosphere.

A lot of tables, big parking beside the restaurant. Good choice of pasta and meat.

The food is really quite good! Although the staff seem like they are not used to non-Italian style of eating 😅 I'm unable to consume much, sorry! But I had a good time and a good meal, the service was friendly and tried their best with our language differences 😊😁

Nothing to complain about, overall pretty good. ... except for the fact some guy came up to me and started yapping on and on about his dead wife.

Great food at a reasonable price.

This place is mind blowing! The food, the service are amazing!

the food and service was good but there was a mask in a black mask killing everyone while playing "Gone Angels" on his phone

Additional stars for all of the above * * * Extra ordinary from the inside! Splendido

One of the best restaurants i've ever been. Try their seefoods and you will surely coming back.

Delicious fresh food :p with lovely people on service. We stayed in the region for a couple of days and didn’t dare to try another restaurant. Beautiful atmosphere as well :)

We’ve tried several other restaurants and locations during the last couple of days and this is by far the best choice around Montegrotto. Don’t forget to make a reservation in time though. Every dish is like an interesting but well balanced sweet dream. The atmosphere is friendly, authentic and deeply Italian. Service is competent and helpful.

Food is nice, staff are really nice and friendly. Price is fair

Delicious food, beautiful atmosphere, and great service. Even though they didn’t have an English menu the waitress was so helpful and patient. 10/10 would recommend if your looking for delicious Italian food and the pizza was phenomenal as well!

Outstanding meal superior service, a hit all the way around. You really can’t go wrong. Every single dish was delicious. Drink selection was amazing and the ambiance was also nice. 100% positive experience.

Helpful, willing and able to help. As long as the restraunter is able to assist a non native you are in good hands. They need to be genuine and these guys are!

I am very curious how the owner will respond to this review - seeing his slightly aggressive reactions to the previous (bad) reviews. We were served by a lovely female waiter. She was the best part of the entire Mamma Perdonami experience. We decided to visit this restaurant based on the good reviews on TripAdvisor. Unfortunately the food was not as expected. The bread served was dry and old. We shared antipasti. Bread with gorgonzola and 2 slices of parma ham for €14 euros - overpriced. The second dish we had was the tortellini with pumpkin which was fine. We ordered 2 pizza's as main dishes. Unfortunately the pizza menu was only available in Italian so we decided to order what our waiter recommended. One of the pizza's had shrimps covered with ham, this pizza was too wet which made the dough soaked. The other pizza was with ham and ricotta. I didn't see ricotta on this pizza and it had a pumpkin base. This pumpkin base really ruined my appetite because it made the entire pizza taste bad. The waiter apologized she didn't tell me about the pumpkin base and said she would take it off the bill. After discussing with the kitchen/owner they decided to charge the full price for the pumpkin pizza anyways even though I only tasted one slice. Ok strange but I didn't make a big deal about it. The thing that really annoyed me is that this restaurant also charges a "Coperto". This is an Italian tradition where you pay for linnen, glasses, cutlery etc. However in this restaurant I eat from a plastic placemat and I got a paper napkin. How do you dare to ask for "Coperto"? Dear other visitors - please be warned.
