The Villa Zeno in Donegal di Cessalto in the province of Treviso , Veneto was designed by Andrea Palladio for Marco Zeno. The exact date is not documented. Trevisan thinks around 1554 is likely. In Bellieni / Cappellaro, a later date (around 1565) is mentioned. Renovations were carried out in the 17th and 18th centuries. The original design was thoroughly modified. In particular, the original thermal bath window has disappeared.

The building was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1996, along with other Palladian villas . Today it is in dire need of renovation.
