Built in the second half of the sixteenth century by the noble Venetian family Paruta, of Lucchese origin, it is the only remaining building of a larger complex that included a chapel, mentioned in the pastoral visits of 1747, a barchessa, attached to the northern corner of the villa, the house of the steward, the guesthouse, and the pigeon house.
The villa is a compact building in the shape of a parallelepiped, lightened on one side by a seventeenth-century portico with Doric columns, in bizarre asymmetry with the cantilevered loggia in Ionic style; it is traditionally attributed to Palladio or one of his close collaborators. Inside, it preserves interesting frescoes from the Venetian school, dating back to the sixteenth century.
