Veneto has the largest concentration of Renaissance villas in Italy. Find out more about these vacation homes where "la dolce vita" was enjoyed at its fullest. Dances, concerts, intellectual gatherings and parties were hosted daily during the summertime. You will discover architectural wonders with splendid artifacts.
We visit a number of small towns like Bassano del Grappa, Asolo, Castelfranco Veneto, and more, where you can get a real feeling for the way Italians live. You'll visit beautiful historical centers where you can stroll at your leisure, walk along medieval walls or visit artisans' shops where they make pottery or grappa.
Veneto is also the region where you can visit cities with incredible cultural and artistic monuments. From the Roman Arena in Verona to the Teatro Olimpico in Vicenza (one of the first covered theatres in Europe); from Giotto's masterpiece Scrovegni Chapel in Padua to the canals of Treviso. Do we need to say more?
Enjoy a typical dish of the region, toast with some local wine. Appreciate and understand why food is so much part of the Italian social and cultural life.
