Villa Saraceno
Sleeps 16
Built by Andrea Palladio
The Villa Saraceno was built in c.1545 (and finished by
1555) for Biagio Saraceno. It is one of the earliest and most modest of
Andrea Palladio’s twenty or so surviving villas. Palladio (1508-80) was
one of the greatest Italian architects of the Renaissance, whose
influence spread across the world in the following centuries. Through
his careful studies of ancient Roman architecture, Palladio aimed to
recapture the splendour of antiquity.
