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. Veneto, as I have discovered, is an Italian region that is very easy to fall in love with and very difficult to leave. Our site, which my husband, my son and I have built together, aims to share some of the places we love. In case you're wondering that's us in the photo.

They are invariably places that once discovered capture the heart for ever, even Venice and Verona offer many amazing little corners and secrets that most tourists will never see.

The scenery is 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 and we have spent lots of sunny days discovering the best ones to share with you.

The people of the Veneto 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.

Let me not forget the food, it is delicious beyond belief and I share a few of my favorite Veneto recipes as well as a number of the restaurants we love to eat at. My mom, affectionately known as nonna, has helped too by sharing some of her legendary recipes and giving plenty of advice.

Enjoy exploring the Veneto and do come back often.
