Location:

The immediate surroundings, for instance Este, Monselice, Montagnana and Arquà Petrarca, or the impressive abbey of Praglia, still within sight of La Montecchia, offer a cornucopia of cultural sights.

The medieval castle, the Castello del Mottolo, is at the heart of the estate, while the so-called Hunting Lodge, an elegant 16th century villa which is considered one of the highlights of the area, overlooks the estate from a hill at the foot of the Eugenean regional park.

Today the estate and its owners are wholly dedicated to the production of high-quality wine which has been increasingly winning accolades from leading wine critics all over the world.

Part of the castle and 3 apartments within the buildings of the estate have recently been completely renovated with every comfort for discerning guests, to be rented by theweek to those interested in a cultural and/or wine and food orientated holiday in an incomparable setting.

La Casa del Prete
Sleeps 4 - 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms
A couple of steps and a wrought iron gate lead into the garden which surrounds the charming two-storied building. As the name indicates, the castle priest once lived here.
The hall, a spacious, comfortable sitting room, with a sofa which can be turned into an extra bed, the kitchen (no oven), the dining room and a bathroom with tub are on the ground floor, with light pouring in through the windows from both sides of the house. A stairway leads up to the first floor where are one twin and one double bedroom, the double with en-suite bathroom (shower)

The garden is planted with olive trees and blossoming oleander bushes. A large table stands in the shade of a lime tree, whereas comfortable reclining chairs furnish another corner of the garden.

The house is equipped with a dishwasher, washing machine, and central heating. It has been tastefully adapted and fitted with those modern amenities that have become necessities, even within ancient walls.

The house was fully restored in 2001 and the light, airy, whitewashed rooms furnished with charming rural antiques belonging the family provide a sunny, friendly as well as very comfortable accomodation.
