Holiday Apartment in Cavallino: Lagoon, Cycle Paths and History
A holiday apartment in Cavallino offers you a place where lagoon landscapes, cycle paths and history are closely connected. At its centre is Piazza Santa Maria Elisabetta, with a panoramic terrace overlooking the lagoon.

Via del Casson begins at Piazza Santa Maria Elisabetta in the centre of Cavallino. It runs along the canal of the same name and can be explored by bicycle or on foot. The canal accompanies the route from the town centre into the countryside.
A particularly distinctive section of the cycle network leads across the lagoon water: the approximately 400-metre-long cycle path connects Piazza Santa Maria Elisabetta with Via della Marinona. This road is lined with cultivated fields, reed beds and lagoon salt marshes with sea lavender. Over a short distance, built-up areas, a waterscape and an agricultural landscape alternate.
Another characteristic route lies along Via Pordelio. The elevated cycle path on Via Pordelio is called “La Via del Respiro” and extends for 7 kilometres directly over the Venetian Lagoon. It connects Cavallino with Punta Sabbioni. The 7 kilometres of Via Pordelio thus contrast with an approximately 400-metre-long passage over the lagoon water.
Water Engineering and Church Art in Cavallino
The Porte del Cavallino reflect the historic importance of the waterways. The hydraulic locks were built in 1632 to connect the Venetian Lagoon with the Piave River, now called the Sile. The lock complex regulated the water level between the Casson Canal and the Sile, thereby enabling boats to pass through.
The Chiesa di Santa Maria Elisabetta in Cavallino-Treporti also reaches far back into the past. Its history dates back to the 18th century; traces of a religious building already existed in 1591. The church houses important works of art, including an altarpiece attributed to Antonio Balestra.
For your further travel planning, you can also consider Ca' Savio. The town expands the choice of possible destinations if you would like to include other local place names in your holiday considerations alongside Cavallino.
Weekly Market and Landscape in Cavallino
The Cavallino weekly market takes place every Tuesday. Fresh produce, cheese, cold cuts, clothing and handmade items are sold there. The market offers a different focus from the cycle paths and historic buildings: it centres on everyday goods, regional shopping and handmade items.
The different routes and places establish clear focal points in Cavallino. Via del Casson represents the canal, the approximately 400-metre-long cycle path the passage over the lagoon water, and Via Pordelio the longer route above the lagoon. The locks, church and weekly market complement these routes with water engineering, church art and local everyday life. Fields, reed beds and salt marshes also shape Via della Marinona.
