Our Veneto and Vicenza Map

Bassano del Grappa

From our home base in Piovene Rocchette, a charming town in the province of Vicenza, we embark on a journey venturing into the heart of the Veneto's lesser-known towns and villages. The icons on the map, towns like Asolo, Bassano del Grappa, Treviso, Belluno, and more, beckon you to uncover their secrets, inviting you to experience the authentic essence of this enchanting region.

Among the icons that dot the map, some of our favorite towns and villages beckon us to their cobbled streets and historic corners.

Asolo, with its medieval atmosphere and panoramic views, unfolds like a storybook town.

Bassano del Grappa, embraced by the Brenta River and renowned for its iconic Ponte degli Alpini, speaks of both history and beauty.

Treviso, characterized by its tranquil waterways and Renaissance architecture, casts an indelible spell on those who wander its narrow alleyways.

Belluno, cradled by the Dolomites, is a picturesque haven for nature lovers and history enthusiasts alike.

Amidst the larger, more renowned cities that draw travelers from around the world, these smaller towns stand as hidden treasures, patiently awaiting discovery.

It's a joy to find that while many tourists may flock to the well-known sites, the beauty and allure of these lesser-explored towns often go unnoticed by the crowds.

As we stroll through their streets, savoring the tranquility and authenticity, we can't help but feel that we've stumbled upon a well-kept secret—a piece of Italy's soul that remains unspoiled by mass tourism.

The allure of these smaller towns lies not only in their aesthetic beauty but also in the authenticity that defines them. The slower pace of life, the warm greetings exchanged by locals, and the unpretentious charm that resonates from every corner all contribute to an immersive experience that few tourists encounter.
