36 Castles for sale in Veneto

Veneto's flat plains around Venice and the Brenta Canal are home to a distinct property type: the Palladian villa, built by the Venetian nobility as summer residences and designed to be seen from the water, a different tradition from the defensive hill-town architecture found further south.

The region runs from sea-level lagoon country up to Prosecco hills around Valdobbiadene and the Dolomite foothills in the north, so location within Veneto changes the property character considerably — a villa near the plain and a stone farmhouse in the hills are both Veneto but nothing alike to own.
