Villas and Vineyards Cycling

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

*  Cherry orchards, vineyards, picturesque little villages

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

*  Steeped in history: mediaeval castles, Palladian villas, Roman roads

*  Venice, Rome, Padua and Vicenza

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 welcome at Valfrido and Angelina’s farm hotel near Vicenza.

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.  Palladio was the most famous Renaissance architect and many of his villas, including Villa Rotonda and Villa Valmarana ai Nani, can be visted while discovering the Venetian countryside.
