VILLAS AND VINEYARDS CYCLING

HOME > ACTIVITY HOLIDAYS > HOLIDAYS IN ITALY > HOLIDAYS IN VENETIA >

Flat, easy cycling off the tourist trail – a great choice for first timers!

Cherry orchards, vineyards, picturesque villages

Characterful, friendly hotels, great Venetian home cooking – dozens of wines to try!

Mediaeval castles, Palladian villas, Roman roads

Venice, Verona, Padua and Vicenza all within “rest day” reach

Our undiscovered corner of Venetia, just 30 mins (but a world away) from bustling Venice is, we think, the perfect setting for a gentle cycling holiday. The countryside is almost entirely untouched by tourism. The cycling is gentle, and takes you through ancient vineyards, cherry orchards and along hidden canal paths. En route you eat well, and stay with some of the friendliest people we’ve ever met – there’s a specially warm welcomes at Valfrido and Angelina’s farm hotel near Vicenza, and at the Ottolitri family’s hotel just outside Galzignano.

This region is bursting with patrician villas, castles and great art cities spanning the 400 years when the area was ruled by the Venetian Republic, and you’ll find Italy’s finest country villas here. But the real magic of the region is in the scores of traditional little villages that frequently come alive for local festivals throughout the summer - be sure to join in!
