Marostica

 

The Lower and the Upper Castles of Marostica host town offices and a restaurant but the lager part of the crenellated fortifications belong to the gentlemen that today permit us to spend our holiday in one of the towers of this Historic Residence, a unique, splendid and even fancy accommodation, a peculiar house out of any standard.


Città delle Ciliegie (cherry town), Marostica in Jazz, La partita degli scacchi (the chess match) are only some of the events taking place in this village near Padua and not far from Venice, where it seems be holiday the whole year along.


The house has been realized taking advantage of a part of the garden rich of vegetation and with areas with light different levels.
The peculiarity of this property is the big number of marvellous corners created in the garden near and far from the house to enjoy a dinner out with a barbecue (there are 3 in different places), or a couple of relaxing Jacuzzi, or a walk or simply a sun-bath of in relax.



A three levels ancient tower of the 14th Century, part of the fortification, has been restored by the owner - an English, French, Spanish, Russian and Roumenian speaking Architect that lives in another house inside the area of the Castles - to be available for his guest.
A bathroom with box shower, 2 stone wash basins and hygienic services covers the whole 22 sqm area of the ground floor.
On the first floor the double bedroom covers the same area with a double bed with canopy, a wardrobe, lights equipment with 8 shades of color, music and video CD system.

This room was used by the owner as a Photo-Studio in the 80's for hundreds photo services for Elle France and still calls its original style.
On the second floor a Tyrolese wood style bedroom with normal sized beds hosts two children. A fireplace and a wardrobe make comfortable this warm and large ambience.


In an building adjacent to the Tower a large glass window abut to the medieval wall, encloses the livingroom.
This area is very large measuring 40 sqm and contains a modern open space kitchenette with fridge, oven and all necessary facilities, a dining area, a sitting area, a TV set and a double sofabed. In this large space is a half bath with shower and toilet only.

Outside a woods of bamboo, palm and olive trees, furnished with sunbeds, is the theatre from which to contemplate a stage that is unique: a rank garden, 5 towers, 2 castles and the crenellated fortifications.

In the park a glass-house has two Jacuzzi, one for hot and the other for cold water, to permit hydrotherapy for a couple. In the garden while bathing, watching without being seen, thanks to the type of glass.
A very nice and large greenhouse among the trees is furnished with table and chairs for a dinner in case of rainfall, to maintain the pleasure of the environment.
In the whole, the property and the whole hill lighted by 22 metal halide lamps projector seems to be a set for photos.


A walk on the 300 steps throughout the park on the hill is an effort paid back by a nice solarium and the deck with table and chairs.

Marostica is an historical little town famous for the story of the Chess Game which dates back to 1454 at the time of the Venetian Republic.

It happened that two noblemen felt in love with the beautiful Lionora, daughter of the Lord of the Marostica's castle. As was the custom in that time, they challenged each other to a cruel duel to win the hand of Lionora.


The Lord forbade the duel and decided that the winner of a chess game would have taken Lionora as wife while the loser would in any case join his family, marrying Oldrada, the younger sister.
The game took place on the square in front of the Lower Castle with armed living persons carrying the noble ensigns of Whites and Blacks, in the presence of the Lord, his noble daughter, the Lords of near counties, the noble court and the entire population, honoured by an performance of armed men, fool-soldiers and knights, with fireworks and dances and sounds.


Then tribulation for the victory, fireworks and music according to the Lord's orders.

This event is repeated today just like the first time, in a framework of sumptuous costumes, multi-colour banners, martial parades, exquisite elegance.
The orders are still given to characters and cast today in the "Serenissima Republic of Venezia" dialect. The show, with over 550 characters, last about 2 hours.
