Just in case you need a little inspiration, here are some of our favourite things to see and do to have an extra-special Veneto experience:

Treviso

Treviso

The monumental set-up of the city centre, with the Romanesque Cathedral, the Palazzo dei Trecento, the Civil Tower, the Communal Palazzo (now Prefecture), the Loggia dei Cavalieri and the churches of the mendicant orders later frescoed by Tommaso da Modena, still reflect today Treviso’s history. 23 km.

Conegliano

Conegliano

The wine-growing town of Conegliano, noted also as the birthplace of the painter Giovanni Battista Cima (c 1459-1518), has many attractive 16C-18C houses, especially in the central Via XX Settembre. The Cathedral (14C-15C) contains a fine altarpiece by Cima; the adjacent guildhall (‘Scuola dei Battuti’) is covered with 16C frescoes. In the main piazza is the Neo-classical theatre. Above rises the castle, with a museum in one tower. 5 km.

Asolo

Asolo

Called ‘City of a Hundred Horizons’ and ‘Pearl of the Veneto’, Asolo is a charming little town with numerous private villas surrounded by luxuriant gardens and picturesque old streets with miniature arcades and a number of fountains. A bus ascends to the centre of the little town from the main road (bus stop) and car park. Eminent visitors: Robert Browning, actress Eleonora Duse, dame Freya Stark (traveller and writer), writers Giosuè Carducci, Henry James and Ernest Hemingway. 26 km.

Vittorio Veneto

Vittorio Veneto

Vittorio Veneto was the site of the final victory of the Italians over the Austrians in October 1918. It was created in 1866 by merging the lower district of Ceneda with the old walled town of Serravalle. Ceneda has a museum relating to the battle. In the fine main piazza of Serravalle is the Loggia di Serravalle (1462), the old town hall. The Museo del Cenedese, here, contains local archaeological finds, paintings, frescoes. The 14C Cathedral, rebuilt in 1776, contains a fine altarpiece by Titian (1547). Above Vittorio Veneto in the Bosco del Cansiglio, a high-lying plateau with forests of beech and fir (1120m) to the east. 22 km.

Castelfranco Veneto

Castelfranco Veneto

The town was founded by the comune of Treviso in 1199 to defend its western frontier, and a rectangular fortification with five towers and brick walls and doorways encircled by a moat (the castello proper), still encloses its centre. Exploring the town: the Cathedral, with Giorgione’s famous altarpiece of the Madonna and Child with Sts Francis and Liberale (c 1505). Adjoining the piazza, on the east, is the 15C Casa di Giorgione, where Giorgione lived and worked.
