About Villa Bartolomea
Villa Bartolomea sits in the Veneto countryside near Verona, commanding views across the Pianura Padana with the Alps visible on clear days.
This 16th-century estate combines a principal villa with an adjoining castle, their paired architecture creating a rare dual-property canvas for ceremonies and receptions.
Stone loggias, manicured gardens, and period interiors anchor a venue that operates with practical infrastructure: air-conditioned spaces, full accessibility to event areas, and capacity for up to 150 outdoor guests.
