Malcontent at La Malcontenta
Apr 2022
We did not enjoy this visit. It is expensive, the park is limited and the rooms are very limited in number and the displays are poor. The best view is from the road, as you pass by. Highly recommend Villa Widmann instead, which has an interesting park, wonderful interiors, hospitable hosts and you can enjoy a relaxing tasty lunch on their terrace.

Typical, a must see villa of the Venetian territory
It's expensive for the experience (10EU), The personnel is not friendly. The shop is cold and dark, it really does not make you stay.

Nice position, impressive paintings
Oct 2018 • Couples
It's a really nice view arriving from the road along the channel, reflecting in the water. Short pleasent walk after parking along the river. The lady at the shop, selling the tickets, seems completely busy at the phone, or not visible at all, difficult to get her attention. The girl at the floor you are allowed to visit was much more helpful, ready to answer questions. You borrow a plastified paper with some explanations, and you can also download a guided tour on your smartphone (but we didn't, the paper seemed enough). The visitable interior is pretty small, but impressive. Pity you are not allowed to take pictures. From the outside park you can appreciate the Palladio architecture.

So beautiful!
Jul 2018 • Couples
La Malcontenta is a little jewel from Palladio. Hidden away just appear to you at the end of a secluded garden. Very beautifully proportioned only “il piano nobile” can be visited and photos are not allowed of the inside. The garden is well proportioned as the Villa itself. Highly recommended.

A mighty villa
Sep 2017 • Couples
Unfortunately, we only saw the exterior (and I am not sure if the interior can be seen), but what we saw was quite impressive. The building is quite huge and its front is quite different from its back facade. Its front facade reminds of Venetian villas, while at the back it looks like a renaissance building.

Beautiful villa
Jul 2016 • Couples
This small gem is located on the Brenta Canal, and best viewed from it, as Palladio designed. Only the gardens and one floor ( piano nobile) are open - and only for 2 days a week - so check the website first, and when on it, how to get there (about 7 mins walk) from the bus stop from Padua or Venice. There are almost no signs!
The design is superbly balanced, but it is a small villa. No photography allowed inside. The frescoes are very good, with some good visual jokes, and excellent trompe l'oeil effects - very realistic. It is a perfect villa of its type.
So why a 4 rating? Staff. Poor ticket office, few welcomes, and little information. Inside there are printed guide sheets, if only you can find them! Once located, fine, in about 4 languages. One person inside, no welcome, no suggestion about the guide sheets, giving a long talk to 4 persons and ignoring 20. Such a contrast to so many properties in the UK!.
Gardens are so so, but we are spoiled in the UK.
So, well worth a visit, but the staff could do so much more!

Very nice villa
Oct 2015 • Couples
This villa was designed by the famous Palladio after which Thomas Jefferson style his designs. You can tour the main level and enjoy all the frescoes but the furnishings are not of the period. No photos are allowed inside. On a dark rainy day, it is hard to see the frescoes as the lighting is limited.

Must visit
Jun 2015 • Couples
Check the limited visiting hours, as this villa is well worth visiting - you see the genius of Palladio's design set in beautiful gardens. We would have liked to explore the lower floors too, but these weren't open. There is a bus stop nearby but check the frequency for the return trip.

Travelled from Padua by bus, it was well worth it.
Jun 2015 • Couples
Villa Foscari is only open to the public on Saturday and Tuesday mornings from 9.00 to 12.00. We travelled from Padua on the 53 bus leaving at 8.25 and arriving at Malcontenta at 9.20. We nearly missed the bus as we waited at the wrong bus stop. Do not go to stand 11 as the express bus to Venice leaves from there at about the same time. The 53 bus goes from beyond the numbered bays, it is a local yellow bus. You can return from Malcontenta at 11.44 or 12.44. We had a lovely morning, really enjoyed being able to go inside this canal side Palladian villa. The building, the canal and garden setting and the frecoes that were painted on completion of the building, all make a perfect morning out.
