Anche la sua destinazione la distingue nel panorama delle ville venete del secondo Cinquecento: si tratta di una residenza suburbana, raffinato punto di incontro per gli aristocratici vicentini, luogo destinato allo svago ed agli "ozi letterari".
Palladio opta per la pianta centrale, corona l'edificio con la cupola, ripete per quattro volte il pronao classico, realizzando una villa-tempio destinata a celebrare il prestigio del committente e a ricordare le importanti cariche da questi ricoperte presso i Pontefici romani.
La Sala ovest, inoltre, era detta "Sala della Religione" proprio per il soggetto degli affreschi nel soffitto, mentre la sala ad oriente è addirittura dominata dall'Allegoria apologetica di Paolo Almerico, incoronato dalla Fama e circondato dalla Fedeltà, dall'Affabilità, dalla Persuasione e da Europa (simbolo della ragione orientata verso le cose divine).
