FORESTERIA CONTI: IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF SHAKESPEARE Foresteria Conti has recently been restored and renovated. It is located in the heart of Padova (Padua), next to the antique Casa Conti and San Luca Church. Bartolomeo Cristofori, known as the inventor of the piano, was baptized in this church. The same church is also mentioned in William Shakeaspeare The Taming of the Shrew: Bianca and Lucentio’s wedding takes place here. The big living room overlooks the garden from one side, and from the other it includes a bell tower dating back to the 14th century. The furnishings of the house take inspiration from art, travel and tango. Your hosts will be pleased to let you visit the old Casa Conti, where you can see valuable works of art. A unique experience for our guests. You can also join Argentinian tango events and public or private tango lessons. The apartment consists of a hall, a double bed bedroom with ensuite bathroom, a double bedroom (with double bed ot twin beds), a second bathroom, a big living with a sofa bed for two people, and a fully equipped kitchen. Perfect air conditioning is provided by low ecological impact thermal insulation.
Hi! We are Giorgio and Alberto Muraro. We are brothers. Giorgio was a Geography teacher in high schools for 39 years. He loves travelling and photography. He has been to 85 countries around the world, in six different continents. He dances tango as an eternal learner. Alberto teaches Physical Education in high school. He has been teaching Argentinian tango for more than 20 years and he is the artistic director of Padova Tango Festival. “Cochabamba 444” tango school is located next to the same garden you can admire from the windows of Foresteria Conti. Giorgio and Alberto’s parents bought Casa Conti in 1961. Casa Conti is an important 17th century building, which displays works of art from the 17th to the 20th centuries. Foresteria Conti is an attached building. It was restored in 2019, following the most adavanced energy saving methods.
The house is inside the medieval city walls, Padua’s oldest one. All historical or artistic landmarks are at a walking distance: the pedestrian area along Roma St, the three famous squares with Palazzo delle Ragione, Caffè Pedrocchi, the old University, St. Anthony’s Basilica, Prato della Valle and Cappella degli Scrovegni. If you arrive in Padova by train or coach, you can reach us by taxi or by tram. The tram is convenient and runs very often. Get off at Tito Livio stop ( going towards Capolinea Sud) From Venezia Marco Polo and Treviso A. Canova airports you can reach Padova Terminal by comfortable coaches, which arrive near the train station. If you arrive by car you have to keep in mind that Foresteria Conti is located in a limited traffic zone. You can park you car outside, near Ponte Barbarigo acces gate (100 m from Foresteria Conti), or in Garage Roma (agreed price). You can also park in the free parking site Piazza Rabin, next to Prato della Valle (1euro per hour, 12 euros half-day, free parking for Padova Card holders. From there, it takes 15 minutes on foot to Foresteria Conti. Contact us, we can help you.
