Continuing south for about 50 km we find Padua, famous for the Basilica dedicated to St. Antonio. The city hosts the sixteenth-century botanical garden and the Scrovegni Chapel with beautiful fourteenth-century frescoes by Giotto.

Outdoor activities
In the immediate vicinity of the house there are
many paths that follow the incline of gently rolling hills. You walk through
open meadows, olive groves and cherry orchards, vineyards, chestnut forests ...
For the more experienced, there is the possibility of horseback riding.
These hills also offer, for bicycle lovers, both mountain bike trails and quiet roads for racing bikes. The Asiago plateau (30 km) extends to the north of Mason Vicentino, with well-known ski resorts in winter and pleasant, cool oases in summer. Throughout the year, the Asiago Plateau is the starting point for many excursions, many of which are true open-air museums, such as sites that were the scene of the First World War. Also towards north, at the foot of Monte Grappa (20 km), theree are quick to reach take-off bases for lovers of free flight (paragliding and hang gliding). The nearby lake Garda and Levico (80 Km) offer the opportunity to fans of windsurfing to sail on water surrounded by magnificent cliffs, while on the River Brenta (20 km), you can practice rafting and canoeing . About 90 km away, after the Valsugana, the magnificent scenery of the Dolomites opens up, since 2009 a UNESCO World Heritage site. Here, the lovers of trekking and climbing will be spoilt for choice in selecting their routes that are of all lengths and difficulties. For the curious and more unpretentious, we offer the opportunity to participate, in the months of October and November, for one or more days, in harvesting the olives. It is a unique, diverse experience, sometimes a little tiring, where guests will have the opportunity to partake in the life of the Italian countryside, in an atmosphere of friendship, peace and sharing with the local inhabitants. |
