The Villa can be reached on foot, by bike or by car.
By car
If you prefer the journey by car, it is advisable to follow the navigator’s directions to the Luxardo-Maraschino distillery of Torreglia; then continue the road by making three short hairpin bends and you will arrive at the cemetery of Torreglia Alta.
At this point, it is recommended to park your car in front of the cemetery in Torreglia Alta and continue on foot to the Church of San Sabino (a 2-minute walk, 100 meters), where you can enjoy a stunning panoramic view.
Continuing along the road, after approximately 50 meters, take the first dirt path on the left, and following the stone wall, you will reach the gate of the Villa.

On foot
As for the paths to do entirely on foot there are two:
- the first one (about 20 minutes) allows access to the Villa via Mondonego that starts exactly from the center of Torreglia, in front of the parish church Sacro Cuore;
- the second one is more challenging though shorter (15 minutes) and starts exactly from the beginning of via Carromatto which is located next to the Antica Trattoria Ballotta in Torreglia.
By bike
The bike route is similar to the route by car and on foot. We recommend the trails only to experienced people with mountain bikes or e-bikes.
