EXCURSIONS VENETO AND BERICI HILLS
Itineraries and ideas on what to see in Veneto, among the Berici Hills
Being at the Locanda degli Ulivi, surrounded by greenery and close to many points of interest, allows you to organize many types of stay, based on your expectations.
- Itineraries among the Berici Hills
The Berici Hills include an almost endless hiking area, an authentic paradise for those who want to dedicate themselves to cycle tourism, walking, excursions and trekking and Nordic walking. There are many routes that vary in characteristics and level of difficulty, you can discover caves, hermitages, ancient abandoned farmhouses, uncontaminated nature and much more. Many paths start right from the Fimon Valley, just below us. - Bike but not only
Where there are climbs, there are also the best conditions for those who want to do sport. We are talking above all about the many who love to do cycle tourism in the Berici Hills. You will find the routes of the Giro d’Italia, mountain bike trails, relaxing city bike itineraries, cycle paths, paths and asphalted roads with very little traffic which guarantee safe cycling. But not only that, nearby there are ideal features and facilities for practicing horse riding, sport fishing, golf, rock climbing, orienteering, archery, paragliding. - Golf, where nature meets relaxation
La Locanda degli Ulivi is very close to the Golf Club Colli Berici, with which it also has advantageous agreements.
The Golf Club is a stone’s throw from the motorway, yet surrounded by lush greenery, an excellent setting for challenges on the green. The playing field is made up of 18 holes, located at an average altitude of 300 metres above the sea and nestled gently on the hills surrounding Vicenza. - Lakes
The Fimon Lake, which opens below the Locanda degli Ulivi, is the only natural lake in the province of Vicenza, suitable for sport fishing and nature excursions.
If you love nature and the lake landscape, you could also take advantage of the proximity of Lake Garda (about 75 km), perhaps thinking of stopping for a day at Gardaland. - Wine Route
Events such as Vinitaly and VinNatur certify the great winemaking tradition of the Veneto, capable of offering the world products of the highest quality, authentic symbols of the territory.
The Berici Hills Wine Route therefore represents the opportunity to combine nature, culture and food and wine , discovering the territory that surrounds us observed through the magnifying glass of the vineyard and cellar. The perfect idea for a trip out of town or a few days in the hills, tasting Tai Rosso, Cabernet, Merlot, Carmenere and Garganega perhaps accompanied by the inevitable soppressa vicentina DOP. - The Palladian Villas
Among the things to see in the Veneto, a mention could not be missed for them, the Palladian Villas that the world envies us.
In the vast territory on the border between Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia, between the provinces of Vicenza, Padua, Treviso and Rovigo, there are many Palladian villas, demonstrating how much the work of the great architect. It is estimated that there are around 60, although only 24 have been officially included in the Unesco World Heritage List. Among those we recommend are Villa Valmarana ai Nani, decorated by Tiepolo, and Villa Almerico Capra, very close to Vicenza, known as La Rotonda and model for Western architecture of the following centuries.
We should have created a site just for the things to see in Vicenza and the surrounding area, if you still have other curiosities, contact us without obligation! Upon your arrival at the Locanda degli Ulivi we also have a language library with various insights on the culture and identity of the area.
