Is that Palladian palace worth the visit? Or do you recommend the focus should be on the other Palladian designed homes like Villa Emo or the Rotonda?

Anyone been to Villa Pisani? Any comments pro or con?

I don’t know Villa Pisani, but if you’re interested in Palladio, I can highly recommend Roberta Parlato as a guide in that region. We were in Vicenza in September 2019 and hired her for the day, visiting Villa Emo and Villa Barbaro. Both were fantastic, and I appreciated having a guide (she is an art historian), making the history come alive.

We were able to visit the Villa Rotunda, which is a short distance outside of Vicenza, on our own. And if you do go to Vicenza, don’t miss the Teatro Olimpico.
