The Giusti Garden
The Garden of the Giusti Palace, situated very close to the Arena's amphitheatre, is one of the jewels of Verona's Renaissance. Its history begins during the 15th century, when it was the property of the Giustis, a family of wool merchants of Tuscan origin. Through centuries and wars, every effort has been made to preserve the garden and bring it back to its former glory, even during the World War II, when many of its precious trees were suffered serious damage.
Euganean Hills Wine Road
Padua winemaking is at its height in the Euganean Hills area. The volcanic soil is perfect for vines, and here the typical local varieties of Pinella and Serprina stand out, which are very similar to Prosecco.
The Euganean Spa centres are situated along the Wine Road, the most famous in Europe and particularly well know for their mud treatment.
The Soave Wine Road
The Soave Wine Road crosses one of the most seductive areas of the Veneto, rich with history and traditions.
The itinerary touches on six towns, the most important being Soave, which is a medieval town surrounded by a boundary wall which is still intact, and dominated by the impressive Scaligero Castle. The historic centre is full of elegant buildings, where it is well worth visiting Palazzo Scaligero, Palazzo dei Conti Cavalli, a refined Venetian construction, Palazzo di Giustizia and Palazzo del Capitano.
Valpolicella Wine Road
The "Valley of several cellars", being a strict interpretation of the name Valpolicella, extends from the Lessini Mountains up to Soave, and its calcareous soil is perfect for making exceptional quality red Valpolicella wines.
The real landmark of the Valpolicella Wine Road are the five centres of the classic DOC area, but there are numerous diversions through medieval hamlets, to see villas and vineyards that spread from the plain to the terraced hills.
The Torcolato and Breganze Wine Road
From the gentle volcanic and tuffaceous foothills to the stretches of pebbles and gravel along the banks of the Astico and Brenta Rivers, this Wine Road begins in Thiene with its lovely late-gothic Villa Da Porto Colleoni. After travelling a few kilometres across the green hills with their vineyards we reach Breganze, in the heart of the DOC Breganze area, an unusual area with noble villas and small medieval buildings, where the so-called 'columbarium' testify the noble past of the town.
The Lessini Durello Wine Road
Castles, Palladian Villas, gentle hills: the Lessini Durello Wine Road offers some very emotional moments, and not only for gourmets. Over recent years the Lessini hills with their volcanic soils, have been addressed to cultivating the typical Durello variety of vine, with a special acidity level which makes excellent spumante.
Valle Millecampi
The Millecampi Valley is a wetland area of great natural interest that covers 1,608 hectares on the border between the provinces of Padua and Venice. Excursions in this open valley offer the opportunity to immerse yourself in the lagoon landscape among winding freshwater channels called "ghèbi", brackish water pools and large "barene" (salt marshes) periodically submerged by the waters at high tide.
Seaside routes
The long littoral area of Veneto is characterised by landscaped dominated by water: from scenes of the Po River Delta to the fishing valley, reaching the Venetian Lagoon.
The itinerary leaves from the historic centre of Rovigo, a city filled with accounts of a thriving past. From Rovigo, the itinerary heads towards Adria (province of Rovigo) and the Delta of the Po River.
IN GIARDINO
On the gentle hills of the Prealps in Veneto, in the small village of Osigo di Fregona, the guesthouse “In Giardino” welcomes its guests in an intimate and private atmosphere, where the silence of nature accompanies the slow rhythm of hill life.
