We are going to Venice in late September/early October 2024 and want to take a day trip via train and taxi to/from the gardens and maze at the Villa Valzanbizio. Looks like the train will get us close with direct trips from Venice to Battaglia Station. But is it easy to call a taxi from the station to the villa and back? Is there an app for that? :) Thank you so much!! Racheal

You will almost certainly find a taxi at the Abano Terme-Montegrotto station, which is the main station for the Thermal spas in the area, but I doubt there is even a soul at Battaglia Terme.
PS: It's spelled Valsanzibio. It may seem trivial but a tourist couple, don't remember from where, a few years back ended up in the city of Carpi, in the interior of Emilia-Romagna near Modena, instead of Capri (the famous island in the gulf of Naples), where they actually intended to go, and inquired at the local tourist office why they couldn't find the harbor. I can't figure out why so many people in this forum misspell place names so often. Isn't phonetics taught in American schools?

Thank you so much for the information, and I'm sorry for the misspelled word. That was a product of posting at night (sleepy time) without checking my reference. However, you are right. We would not want to end up in the wrong town with no maze in sight. :) Thanks!
