Venice Italy and the Veneto

Over eleven years ago my husband and and I moved back to Italy. We now have our home near Vicenza, in the Veneto region, with Venice Italy right on our doorstep.

My family is originally from the Veneto so it has special importance for me. The Veneto, as I knew and my husband has since discovered, is an Italian region that is very easy to fall in love with and very difficult to leave.

Sharing the "secrets" of our gorgeous region is my family's passion. Once discovered they are certain to capture your heart for ever. Even famous cities like Venice and Verona offer many amazing little corners and secrets that most tourists will never see.

Veneto's Scenery

Incredibly varied with the Dolomite Mountains to the north, beautiful Lake Garda to the west and the lowlands to the south.

There are even great beaches not far from Venice. We have spent lots of sunny days on all of them just to be able to share the best ones with you.

People, Towns & Villages

Veneto's people are often considered amongst the friendliest in all of Italy and when you think how friendly Italians are that really is something!

Veneto is home to some of the most beautiful and historically important cities in Italy, Venice and Verona being the best known, however hidden throughout the region are many unforgettable little towns and villages.

Some of these villages, like the quaint village of Asolo, are without a doubt some of the loveliest in all of Italy.

The Food

Last but certainly not least is the food. Delicious beyond belief and I'll share a few of my favorite Veneto recipes as well as a number of the restaurants we love to eat at.

My mom, a legend around town and affectionately known to all as "the nonna" has helped too, sharing some of her legendary recipes and giving plenty of advice.

Enjoy exploring the Veneto and do come back often.
