Villas and Vineyards Cycling
|
Highlights Wonderfully flat hotel-to-hotel cycling route exploring the pretty villages, villas and castles of the Venetian countryside. Lots of historic interest and great regional cooking! A day trip to Venice is a 'must' with Padua and Vicenza also within reach.

Holiday reviews
Mr W Crough travelled to Venetia in 2007
What is the appeal of this wonderful country?
Is there a balance between cultivated and raw?
Between the wooded and the plain?
Are the distances between towns just right?
Are they the size that suggests community?
My wife and I feel that this place satisfies an innate longing that is hard to find in other places we’ve been. We love the “campanili”, cooking that doesn’t think sugar is a flavour, people that are relaxed, history piled on history, bicycling outfits that would make me blush, everyone has their wine, weather that is hard to predict, soil that looks and feels like it’s just waiting for the next rain, cycling “unter den unden”, chestnuts and remembering their aromas, people who loved to share their language, new houses attached to the antique, churches that reflect a commitment of decades of money, toil and danger, food that isn’t afraid of salt and oil, water springs that are recognised for their utility and beauty and a sense that we have been very fortunate to have been here at this time.

"We had a real Italian experience, in an area not usually seen by tourists."
Mr Bent, Surrey
"The agriturismo are excellent. Home-grown and home-cooked food at every hotel. We were staggered at how cheap the wine and coffee were. Yet all of it to a very good standard."
Mrs Smith, Belper
