location:
villa ai colli berici can be found on a hillside on the edge of vicenza, in the veneto region of northeastern italy with great views across the “valley of silence”
in a beautiful setting, you are within striking distance to all that vicenza has to offer – the heart of the town is around 25km away, a leisurely stroll in around half an hour. Even closer are local restaurants and a good supermarket. Stop off for a coffee or lunch in the pretty café-bar in the nearby 17th century villa which is open to the public, just a very short walk away, famous for its Tiepolo frescoes.
a unesco world heritage site, vicenza was a prosperous town under venetian rule and much of its fine architecture survives, mainly due to sixteenth century architect andrea palladio whose villas give the town its distinctive character Palladio’s greatest masterpieces are “La Rotonda” and Teatro Olimpico whilst Palazzo Chiericati houses the museum and art gallery. The town is also famous for its jewellery production whilst wine-lovers will be able to arrange tastings in the villa or visit vineyards in the surrounding area and Prosecco DOC wineries.
of course, the wonderful city of venice (70km) is around a 45-minute train ride away so take a boat trip on the grand canal, sip a coffee in st mark’s square or just follow the trail of tiny squares and canals until you are away from the tourists The romantic town of Verona (54km), also easily accessed by train, is associated with Romeo and Juliet and you can still visit that famous square and balcony.
nearby padua (37km) is a picturesque renaissance city of squares and bridges, home to an ancient university and has a lively studenty feel Book tickets beforehand for the popular Scrovegni Chapel and view the amazing Giotto frescoes or marvel at the world famous Basilica di Sant’Antonio da Padova. Browse in the markets around Palazzo della Ragione or picnic in the gardens near Corso del Popolo.
bassano del grappa (34km) is another great day trip, a pretty town known for its wooden 13th century ponte vecchio bridge designed by palladio It’s situated where the flat Veneto plains reach the hills leading to the Alps. Call into the elegant medieval city of Marostica (29km) on the way back from Bassano to see the 14th century Piazzo Castello with its markets, bars restaurants and shops - a lovely spot to while away an hour or two. in the middle of the square is a huge chess board where people are the chess pieces!
the village of asiago (64km) stands on its namesake plateau and is a popular holiday destination during winter and summer It’s famous for its cheese, honey and jam and is a great place for outdoor activities - the old train road for walkers or cyclists connects it to the other nearby villages and there is skiing and snowboarding during the winter.
