Choose a holiday apartment according to your interests

When choosing accommodation, you can weigh up time devoted to culture, active trails and nature observation. Churches and art, the Rigoni Stern Trail and the Valle Zaccona Nature Trail, cycling routes, horseback riding excursions and the Selgea Oasis represent clearly distinguishable travel interests. These themes help you decide how you want to spend your days before renting a holiday apartment or holiday house.

Churches, art and historical layers

The Chiesa parrocchiale di S. Bartolomeo apostolo contains a painting by Giacomo da Ponte on the main altar. It depicts the Virgin Mary with Saint Lucy and Saint Mary Magdalene. The parish church was owned by the Augustinian monks until 1180 and was rebuilt between 1851 and 1859 in the Neoclassical style. The house of ceramic artist Alessio Tasca contains ceramic sculptures by the artist.

The Chiesa di San Giorgio Martire was probably built around 1250 and was first mentioned in an important document in 1297. Construction of the new church began in 1770; the stone, tower-shaped bell tower was rebuilt between 1821 and 1828. The original church of the Oratorio Immacolata e Santi Felice e Fortunato was built around 1480 on the site of a smaller church dating from 1150 that was later destroyed.

Trails through hills, forests and vineyards

The Rigoni Stern Trail on the Vicenza–Asiago route passes through Fara Vicentino. The Valle Zaccona Nature Trail leads through forests, meadows, farmland and vineyards to historic local contrade. Itinerary 2.01 runs through the hills of Fara Vicentino, Breganze and Lugo di Vicenza and along the Astico River and the Chiavone Bianco stream.

Visitor experiences at Transit Farm include cycling routes. Horseback riding excursions can start from the equestrian facility in the hamlet of Val Zaccona. Arriba Ranch offers safe, guided routes designed for different levels and needs. This allows active days to be planned in different ways, without hiking, cycling or horseback riding having to play the same role.

Nature along the Chiavone and Astico

The site where the fossil palms of Lonedo were found is located along the Chiavone stream. The Selgea Oasis is a natural area near the Astico River, situated on the site of a former gravel quarry. It lies on the border with the municipality of Zugliano; the municipality of Zugliano is its owner. Ducks and other birds can be observed there. There are also picnic areas and the possibility of sitting by the lakeshore.

Torcolato and the wine route

Torcolato is a passito wine that has been known in Fara Vicentino for centuries. A wine route leads from Breganze through Torreselle between the valleys of the Astico and Chiavone. Together with the churches, trails and natural sites, this theme offers another concrete perspective for planning your trip and searching for a holiday apartment.
