Our Insiders Guide to |
.
Eleven years ago my wife and I moved to Italy. We now have our home in Veneto with Venice Italy right on our doorstep.
Our site aims to show you some of the places we love; very few if any of them feature in the guidebooks. They are invariably places that once discovered capture your heart for ever, even Venice and Verona offer many amazing places that most tourists will never see.
My wife Maria’s family is from the Veneto so it has special importance for us. Veneto, as I have discovered, is an Italian region that is very easy to fall in love with and very difficult to leave.
The scenery is varied with the Dolomite Mountains to the north, beautiful Lake Garda to the west and the lowlands around Venice to the south.
It is a region that contains some of the most beautiful and historically important cities and towns in Italy, Venice and Verona being the best known, however hidden throughout the region are unforgettable little towns and villages.
