Love visiting here! It’s €6 for the entrance fee and you can pay by credit card. There’s many small rooms in the house. Each room has nice demonstrations on the wall frescoes, had a nice time appreciating the frescoes. From all the stories and the histories of the house, it’s obvious that the poet is very well respected in Italy

It's wonderfull historical please of Italy and all Europe.

Arquà Petrarca is always a magic place to visit,

This winery is everything you could want from an Italian winery. The owner’s daughter, Lisa, gave us a tour and described the history and care of the grapes. She encouraged questions and was happy to share her love of the vineyards. It was 15 euros to sample many wines plus meat/cheese/biscuits. We left with quite a few bottles because they were so good and reasonably priced. My favorites were the ones made with raboso which is their almost 80 year old grape vines.

(Translated by Google) The Loggia dei Vicari, near the oratory, is easily accessible, especially because there are various car parks nearby, even if for a fee. Dating back to the 12th century, it was the seat of the local administration in the Middle Ages and during the Venetian age, where the assemblies of local heads of families took place. In 1823 the monument remained without its covering. Only in 2003 did they build a new roof with a decidedly modern look. Absolutely worth visiting if you decide to spend a day in one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. (Original) La Loggia dei Vicari, vicino all'oratorio è facilmente raggiungibile, specialmente perché nelle sue vicinanze sono presenti diversi parcheggi, anche se a pagamento. Risalente al XII secolo è stata nel Medioevo e durante l’età veneziana, la sede dell’amministrazione locale, dove si svolgevano le assemblee dei capofamiglia locali. Nel 1823 il monumento rimase senza la sua copertura. Solo nel 2003 hanno provveduto a costruire un nuovo tetto dal look decisamente moderno. Da visitare assolutamente, se decidete di passare una giornata in uno dei borghi più belli d'Italia.

(Translated by Google) The Costa's "thermal" lake can only be visited upon request to the owners who have fenced it off to avoid dangerous swimming and vandalism. Supplied only by a spring of hot water, it sees its once much larger basin progressively shrink. It once served for the collection of mud (now the prerogative of Lispida) used by nearby Abano and Montegrotto, and was the site of a Paleolithic settlement which makes it a UNESCO heritage site. However, it remains highly enjoyable, a blue liquid surrounded by reeds and shrubs, visible from the road and the paths of the hills, and mysterious, when the fog rises from its warm mirror, recalling old tales and legends that have now died. (Original) Il laghetto "termale" della Costa è visitabile solo su richiesta ai proprietari che lo hanno recintato per evitare pericolosi bagni e vandalismi. Rifornito solo da una polla di acqua calda vede progressivamente ridursi il proprio bacino una volta molto più esteso. Serviva un tempo per la raccolta dei fanghi (ora prerogativa di Lispida) utilizzati dalle vicine Abano e Montegrotto, e fu sede di un'insediamento paleolitico che lo rende patrimonio dell'Unesco. Rimane comunque godibilissimo, liquido blu contornato di canne e arbusti, visibile dalla strada e dai sentieri dei colli, e misterioso, quando la nebbia si alza dal suo tiepido specchio rievocando vecchi racconti e leggende ormai sopite.

(Translated by Google) There is certain information about the Oratory starting from 1181, even if it certainly pre-existed. A church very dear to Petrarca, since he used to go there to pray, it has a Romanesque structure with a single nave with exposed beams and a gable roof. The Oratory was modified several times over the centuries, in the fourteenth century it was enlarged and frescoed. Traces depicting some Madonnas and a foot of Saint Christopher are from that period, and in the fifteenth century the apse was added. Inside you can see the seventeenth-century wooden altar with the altarpiece by Palma il Giovane depicting the Trinity and the leather frontal, depicting the risen Christ. On the sides of the altar are the painted stone statue of St. Christopher and the painted wooden statue of St. Lucia. Inside the church there are some tombstones and a Roman holy water font. Of considerable value are also a painting by Giovanni Battista Pellizzari and a large canvas from 1670, depicting the "City of Padua in the act of paying homage to a martyr bishop". The bell tower, from the 12th century, was remodeled several times until 1928 when a restoration brought it back to the presumable original shape obtained from seventeenth-century prints. (Original) Dell’Oratorio si hanno notizie certe a partire dal 1181, anche se sicuramente preesisteva. Chiesa molto cara al Petrarca, poiché vi era solito recarsi a pregare, si presenta con una struttura di impianto romanico ad un’unica navata con travature scoperte e tetto a capanna. Più volte modificato nei secoli, nel trecento, l’Oratorio, fu ingrandito ed affrescato, dell’epoca sono le tracce raffiguranti alcune Madonne e un piede di San Cristoforo, e nel quattrocento fu poi aggiunta l’abside. All’interno è visibile l’altare ligneo seicentesco con la pala di Palma il Giovane raffigurante la Trinità e il paliotto in cuoio, raffigurante il Cristo risorto. Ai lati dell’altare sono collocati la statua di S. Cristoforo in pietra dipinta e la statua in legno dipinta, di S. Lucia. All’interno della chiesa sono conservate alcune lastre tombali ed un’acquasantiera romana. Di notevole pregio sono poi un quadro di Giovanni Battista Pellizzari e una grande tela del 1670, raffigurante la “Città di Padova nell’atto di rendere omaggio a un vescovo martire”. Il campanile, del XII secolo, fu più volte rimaneggiato sino al 1928 quando un restauro lo riporto alla presumibile forma originaria ricavata da stampe seicentesche.

PERFECT spot for a cool rest after long days of touring through the region, including Venice! Just a short train ride to Venice makes this the perfect location for vacationers in NE Italy! The village is a dream, with several restaurants, beautiful homes, a busy town square, and views of the surrounding valleys. The apartments are well-equipped and "like-new" as you enter. Mattress was so comfy and a variety of pillow choices made us so happy. The kitchen has gorgeous cooking and serving ware and the water from the tap is delicious. The apartments are centered in a small gated garden and are oh-so quiet! The days are VERY hot here in July, but the air conditioner kept us cool and calm. The owner and his wife will do all they can to make a stay here the best. He is a native of Venice, full of tips and suggestions! There are many wonderful reference books to use and free wi-fi!

Went there without any appointment and were greated very friendly and invited for a tasting. We tried 4 of their wines and the story behind it was explained in a very nice and very understandable way. After the tasting (and buying some bottles) we joined a guided tour which also very nice and not too long. Nice extra to our trip to several wineries.
