The art of slowing down

In Valdobbiadene, in the heart of the Prosecco Hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Villa Barberina is a place where time slows down. A residence set within the landscape, designed to welcome those seeking silence, light and a rhythm different from everyday life.

An 18th-century Venetian residence, the villa belonged for about a century to the Piva-Viansson family of textile entrepreneurs, before being purchased in 2004 by the Franco family, producers of Prosecco and owners of the Nino Franco Spumanti winery. A continuity of vision and care that has preserved the identity of the place over time.

Surrounded by a park of century-old trees, Villa Barberina preserves the balance typical of Venetian country residences: a central building, two lateral wings and the dovecote towers that shape the space with natural harmony. Here architecture enters into dialogue with nature without overpowering it.

The interiors, restored with respect for the original style, now host five suites. Bright spaces, period furnishings and silence accompany the experience, inviting guests to live each moment with greater attention and a slower pace.

Outside, the two-level swimming pool overlooks the park, the surrounding vineyards and the Prealps. Not simply an amenity, but a place for quiet and contemplation, where nature becomes an integral part of the experience.

Those who choose Villa Barberina are not simply looking for a stay, but for a time to inhabit.
