Enjoy a relaxing day in the beautiful hills of the Veneto near Venice, Italy. Stroll around enchanting villages and towns, savour the delicious cuisine and famous wines of the Veneto.
This tour provides you with an intimate experience of the "Secret Italy". Travelling at a relaxed pace, along scenic back-roads, with plenty of time to enjoy each destination, it will feel as if this tour was designed just for you.
Visit enchanting Asolo, the pearl of Veneto, perched on lush-green hills. Along with its delightful gardens and palatial villas, the spectacular views of the surrounding countryside have inspired poets and writers over the centuries.
In picturesque Bassano del Grappa, enjoy a tour of the town which includes a magnificent Palladian bridge crossing the mighty Brenta river, and a chance to sample some of the local fire-water "Grappa". Bassano is also a shoppers paradise; famous for its ceramics, porcini mushrooms and other local delicacies. You'll have free time to shop while we are in Bassano.
A tour of Veneto would be incomplete without visiting a Palladian Villa. Visit the Villa Barbaro, one of Palladio's most celebrated works with fine frescoes by Veronese.
Veneto is a land of good food and wine. For lunch the driver will suggest a typical restaurant (not included in the package), where you can taste the local cuisine accompanied by local wines.
Medieval Marostica, with its imposing castle and giant chess-board permanently laid-out in the town square, is where the famous living game of chess is played every two years.
