Vallevecchia

For those who are not yet familiar with it, Vallevecchia is an area of extraordinary natural and environmental value, one of the largest coastal dune systems in the Veneto region and the last stretch of undeveloped coastline on the northern Adriatic. The island covers approximately 900 hectares, more than half of which are used for experimental and low environmental impact production. Approximately 150 hectares consist of sandy beaches, lowland woods, coastal pine forests and newly formed wetlands.

Vallevecchia is one of the few places where it is still possible to observe the flora and fauna typical of sandy coastlines, and is a reference point for birdwatchers and anyone looking for a holiday that is different from those offered by the nearby seaside resorts. Whether by bicycle, on horseback or on foot, the island is simply amazing, a corner of paradise that the European Union has recognised as a Special Protection Area and Site of Community Importance. Here, the sounds of nature reign supreme, along with the many animal and plant species that inhabit the pine forest, wetlands and sandy shores.
