Holiday accommodation in Altavilla Vicentina with history as part of the experience

In Tavernelle, the Romea Strata is part of a centuries-old network of routes that connected Northern Europe, the Po Valley, Rome and the ports of the Adriatic. At the same time, the Romea Strata is a rediscovered cultural and spiritual hiking trail. It therefore represents a travel perspective that brings movement, history and spiritual themes together. When planning a stay in a holiday apartment or holiday house, this historical dimension can be a focus alongside nature and architecture.

Architecture and traces of the Bronze Age

Villa Valmarana Morosini was built from 1724 onwards based on a design by the architect Francesco Muttoni. Its central building, side wings and semicircular Barchessa give the villa a clearly structured architectural form. A different era is represented at La Rocca e il Brolo, where archaeological research has uncovered traces of settlements dating from the Bronze Age. Together, these sites span a historical arc from early settlement traces to the architecture of the 18th century.

From a former quarry to green destinations
