"Accessible Life is a project created to help all people explore nature and public places, regardless of their mobility, with the ability to share these accessible places on Google Earth. With Accessible Life we want to be able to offer information on those places accessible in the open air which, by their nature, cannot be adequately managed through the accessibility information available in Google Maps."
Today we want to tell you about Villa Guidini, a Venetian Villa which has become the reference point for the town of Zero Branco in the Province of Treviso.
Built in the early 1700s in the classic style of the Venetian Villas, Villa Guidini has remained to this day a fine example of a country villa, with a large park in front of it.
Abandoned since the end of the Second World War, the Villa was purchased by the municipality in the 2000s and transformed into a multifunctional center for the citizens. The space of the villa hosts numerous activities of public and cultural interest, such as the public library and the auditorium, as well as being the headquarters of many non-profit associations. Spaces for public use can be requested by everyone to host events of various kinds.
Most of the area is accessible, with the exception of the upper floors of the villa itself. However, the restoration project involves the construction of an elevator, which will soon make the entire complex accessible to wheelchairs.
Given its characteristic multifunctional environment, the villa can be visited for many reasons: for a dinner at a restaurant with friends, to attend a theater show, to read a book in the library, for a picnic, or even just for a walk in the beautiful park.
It takes at least a couple of hours for a peaceful visit.
Available services:
Accessible bathroom: YES
Accessible parking: YES
A refreshment point (bar and restaurant)
At the beginning of the park there is a small pond, with some interesting sculptures inside.
If you rotate the next image, you will see the villa on the other side
And of course you can stroll through the park, under the shade of majestic trees. The original owners of the villa had wanted to have plants from different parts of the world in their park.
Are you a sports person? Tennis, archery, volleyball and football can be enjoyed in the area
But you can also just take the children to play in the playground reserved for them
