Villa da Prato

Villa da Prato is a 16th-century pre-Palladian Venetian villa in Caldiero, just 15 km from Verona and within easy reach of Lessinia, Vicenza, Lake Garda and Valpolicella. Hidden behind a wooden gate, the estate is a 7-hectare walled property encompassing organic vineyards, century-old trees, and a natural spring surrounded by boxwood — a secret, intimate world that feels miles from anywhere, yet is moments from the motorway. Couples choose Villa da Prato for its rare combination of privacy and effortless accessibility. Civil and symbolic ceremonies can be held outdoors — in the garden, beneath the trees, or by the spring — with a rustic plan B should the weather turn. The heart of the reception is the beautifully restored barchessa: a single 220 sqm hall seating up to 160 guests at round tables or 90 at an imperial table. Fitted with a modular glass-wall system and climate control, it guarantees comfort in every season. Behind the barchessa, an open-air dining area can be dressed with a spectacular canopy of twinkling lights. As the sun sets, the garden before the loggia comes alive with string lights and architectural lighting, creating a truly enchanted atmosphere. Villa da Prato is a venue-only location, wheelchair accessible and pet-friendly, with on-site parking: couples are free to bring their own vendors or choose from trusted local partners. An intimate, nature-wrapped haven where history, vineyards and romance come together, just a heartbeat from Verona.
