Holiday apartment in Levada: Frescoes, parks and festivals

Levada can be explored through art, historic estates, festivals and paths with a history of their own. The parish church of Levada contains two white marble altars by G. Bernardi (Il Torretto). In addition, there is the historic park of Ca’ Marcello: covering 90,000 square metres, it combines an Italian-style garden with an English-style park. This provides clear guidance when choosing a holiday apartment: you can give different weight to cultural impressions, landscaped surroundings and active days, without reducing Levada to just one type of holiday.

Art and historic estates in Levada

Villa Marcello preserves a fresco cycle depicting the life of Alexander the Great by Gian Battista Crosato. Another look at Ca’ Marcello leads to the historic building itself: Ca’ Marcello was built in the first half of the 16th century. The private oratory of Ca’ Marcello dates from 1753 and is dedicated to the Transfiguration of Jesus. These three points of reference give Levada’s cultural side different dimensions – from the fresco cycle and architectural history to the religious dedication. Especially if, on a day of your holiday, nature is not the only thing that matters but art and architecture do as well, this creates a rich thematic field for planning your own trip.

Palaces and museums in the wider region

In the wider region around Levada are Villa Querini palace and Palazzo dei Trecento. The Musei Civici di Treviso and Chiave di volta snc museums are also located in this wider region. When choosing a location for a holiday apartment in Levada based on your own excursion interests, you can consider these regional destinations alongside these attractions.

Festivals, traditions and regional cuisine

Levada also showcases its traditions through two festivals. The Festa dei Santi Pietro e Paolo takes place at the end of June and commemorates the patron saints of the parish, Saints Peter and Paul. The Festa di Sant’Antonio originated around the wayside shrine of Saint Anthony and today includes a food stall organised by the local Contrada. The two festivals set different accents and broaden the cultural perspective to include local cuisine. For you, these points of reference can complement the choice between culturally oriented and food-focused days of travel.

Parkland and the Ostiglia cycling and walking route

In the wider region around Levada are Colesel Val dell'Acqua mountain and the parks Parco via Kennedy, Parco Rabin and Parco Manin. The Ostiglia cycling and walking route offers a special combination of activity and history: it runs along a route that was formerly a military railway line and is two minutes from Ca’ Marcello. The route and the parks offer different highlights from frescoes, altars or museums. When looking for a holiday apartment in Levada, you can therefore weigh up whether you would like to focus on historical culture, green spaces or a route along a former military railway line.
