Catch the local bus (35 mins excl Sundays) to Padua, the region's second art city. View the Cappella degli Scrovegni (Giotto frescoes), admire Donatello's Gattamelata statue or savour a cappuccino in the largest square in Italy! You may wish to treat yourself to a spa/massage at Montegrotto - great for aching muscles! *(Staying at Belvedere Resort ai Colli)*
Ascending through olive groves you reach Monte Rua hermitage, a popular lunch stop. A woodland path leads towards Rocca Pendice, an imposing volcanic stone massif. You skirt round it to enjoy breathtaking views across the chain of hills as you descend to Teolo, the only 'alpine' village here.. *(Staying at B&B Tito Livio)*
Distance in Km: 12

Supposedly the birthplace of the Roman historian Livy, Teolo is alive with history, and many of the buildings from its Serenissima heyday remain. There are lovely walks available including a circular one up Monte della Madonna with its panoramic views (walking notes provided). For a longer day out, take the bus/train to Venice and see St Mark's Square, the Doges' Palace and the Peggy Guggenheim Museum.* You stay at B&B Tito Livio (breakfast only)*
Walking through rows of lush green vines you reach the highest point of the holiday, on the flanks of Monte Venda (601m). The plain is mapped out before you, with views towards the Berici Hills near Vicenza. Then it's on through oak and chestnut forests, and down through vineyards and olive groves, back to Gabriella and Alessandro's farmhouse for a spot of well-earned wine-tasting! *(Staying at Agriturismo ll Feudo)*

All continental breakfast and 6 evening meals.
The Veneto ranks as one of the most fertile agricultural regions in
the country. You will see fields of maize and barley everywhere. It is also
a big area for fruit; expect to eat cherries, peaches, melons, plums,
pears, strawberries and apples. The cuisine varies from the coast up into
the mountains and reflects the region’s mixed cultural past. Nearer to
Austria in the mountains, you get a more Tyrolean cuisine with dishes such
as apple strudel creeping onto the menu, whereas towards the coast, you
will find a lighter cuisine with lots of fish dishes.
Three typical dishes you are likely to find throughout the region
are baccalà (air-dried salted cod soaked and cooked to a creamy
consistency in garlic, parsley and olive oil), carpaccio (now seen on menus
throughout Italy and even internationally, this is thin slices of very rare
beef sprinkled with lemon juice and garnished with parmesan cheese,
mushrooms or even white truffles according to the season and the restaurant)
and polenta (made from maize, this is served as an accompaniment to meat
or fish).

Starting in the tiny hamlet of Cortela, nestled amongst vines, you head
across poppy fields and through forests to Valnogaredo. You discover the
jumbled cobbled streets of medieval Arqua Petrarca, where the famous 14th
century Italian poet, Petrarch, made his home, before continuing through
fertile fruit orchards to Galzignano. A convenient stone's throw from the
Italian Baroque gardens of Valsanzibio, there's time to explore its
magnificent maze before a series of outstanding views leads you to
panoramically perched Teolo.
Hotels
The hotels we've selected for you are full of character and are all family
run, with warm welcomes throughout. They range from a hillside villa just
outside medieval Arqua Petrarca and Gabriella and Alessandro's rustic, yet
cosy agriturismo, to the exquisite Liberty Villa Lussana with its stunning
position overlooking the dramatic Euganean Hills.
As this is a self-guided holiday there is no group and no leader. A local
representative is on hand to assist you and will meet you at the beginning of
the week to go through the route notes and point out particular places of
interest. Your luggage is transferred and route notes and maps are provided.
Please note: the walking and luggage transfers included in this tour are
subject to a minimum of 2 people (in total) booked on the departure. A
supplement (payable in advance) to cover these transfers and sole occupancy
of a room will apply if only 1 person travelling on a departure date.
