Flight to Venice

Nature and History on a Lagoon Scenario 

Just a stone's throw from La Serenissima we find a multitude of itineraries crossing luxuriant green nature, skirting quiet rivers, passing old towns and fabulous villas. The Venice Lagoon is an enchanting backdrop to a spectacle of nature and historic architecture 

From South to North: Brenta Villas, Tiepolo Territories, Cavallino Landscapes 

The Brenta Riviera. This riverbank area is famous for its luxurious aristocratic villas, built here from the 1500s to the 1700s. The rise of these splendid, renowned villas, symbols of Venetian wealth and prosperity throughout that period, was linked to the important role played by the River Brenta, which was a major trade route. Some of the best contemporary architects and painters were involved in the building of the villas, including Palladio and Pellegrini. One of the Riviera's beauty spots is the Valle Averto, an immense green area, protected by the WWF, in an authentic wildlife oasis. A charming annual event not to be missed is the historic “Riviera Fiorita” pageant: on the second Sunday in September, over 1,100 participants in period costume take part in a festive procession from the municipality of Stra as far as Malcontenta, winding along the river banks of these splendid scenarios of magnificent villas and gardens installed along the airy, gleaming River Brenta.
