Venezia and the lagoon

Venetian Villas

Explore the past on trips into the Venetian countryside to visit the beautiful summer residences of the Venetian nobility.
The countryside is dotted with aristocratic homes, masterpieces of Italian art and culture hidden amongst rolling hills, scenic parks, lakes and lush green river banks.

The Cavallino coast is the ideal place to admire the perfect balance between the natural habitat and the local architectural monuments. It is also an excellent departure point for trips around the whole Veneto region.
Excursions to the lagoon islands: Murano, Burano and Torcello. These islands are full of history, treasures, colours and flavours. There are some less well known islands that are also worth a visit.
Excursions to Monte Grappa where it is possible to go on nature walks and bike excursions. Monte Grappa is also ideal for free flight activities such as paragliding and gliding thanks to the unique climate and its vicinity to the lowlands.
Montello is a “Sunday day out” destination for visitors and tourists. It is renowned for the beauty of its wood. There are nature paths for walkers, cyclists and horse riders.

Aqualandia water fun park
Even the least courageous won’t be able to resist jumping off the bungee jumping tower at night or sliding down the largest slide in the world at the Aqualandia water fun park.

Gondola Tour in Venice
Any tourist visiting Venice just has to experience a unique ride on a gondola along the city’s wonderful canals. The site provides a detailed description of the possible itineraries and a complete history of the gondola.

Veneto is the ideal region to combine an interest for art and Nature with that for food and wine. The region’s strong culinary tradition is accompanied by that for its wine. A tour of the “osterie” does not only mean tasting good wine but it is also a trip into the happy, playful typical Venetian tradition of socialising.

The Prosecco road
The road that runs from Conegliano to Valdobbiadine is also known as the “Strada del Prosecco” or “Prosecco Road”. This area is full of rolling pastures and lots of little restaurants and inns where you can sample a large glass of the excellent prosecco wine.
