History
This charming Villa was built in the XIV century by the noble venetian family Contarini degli Scrigni as party house during summer and the harvest period. The Villa's position is magic, right next to the medieval walls of Este's castle, thought to impress and surround the visitor in an surreal atmosphere out of space and time.
The rooms at the first floor, decorated with frescoes, and the vast garden were used by the noble Contarinis for several centuries and are now shared by the owners as wedding and holiday location.
Frequently, artistic and cultural initiatives are organized.

Reviews
If you wish to spend a holiday in the magnificent Italian 16th century, Vigna Contarena is the place. I stayed there with friend and enjoyed the amazing atmosphere that only such an historic place can give.
This is a place that I highly recommend. It is a guesthouse of an ancient venetian villa, within a big and beautiful park. It maybe not provide the comforts of a big hotel, but it is a peaceful place where you can discover works of art and breathe history, something really unique. The owners are really kind and willing to show you the villa’s treasures and tell you its history. A big plus is its the position, that make it the perfect place to take a tour in the cities of Venice, Padova, Verona, Ferrara, Mantova.
