Holiday apartment in Rive Poleo: Discover trails, parks and churches

Rive Poleo: Discover trails, parks and churches

The Passeggiata di Poleo begins at Parco Robinson in the Poleo district and later leads along a small uphill path into a quiet, wooded setting. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment in Rive Poleo can therefore base their choice of location on walking trails, culture and experiences in nature.

Church art and historic religious sites

A special cultural destination is the Chiesa di San Giorgio in Poleo, designed by Antonio Caregaro Negrin. The church contains two paintings of the Madonna and Child by an unknown artist, attributed to the 15th century; this date is marked with a question mark. There is also an altarpiece of Saint George by Giovanni Minchio from 1738, a stone statue of the Madonna and a mosaic of the Eternal Father on the gable.

Poleo di Schio is also home to the Chiesa di San Martino, at the foot of the hill overlooking the village of Aste. It is considered probably the oldest church in Alto Vicentino. Together with the Chiesa di San Giorgio, it forms a cultural focus that can easily be combined with a walk.

A walk with a park, woodland and Stations of the Cross

Parco Robinson in the Poleo district is a large, equipped green space with play areas, picnic spots and creative play zones. This makes it suitable for a stay where a relaxing break in nature can be enjoyed alongside time spent playing together.

The Passeggiata di Poleo meets the Stations of the Cross at its eleventh station. A possible detour leads to the Chiesetta di San Martino in the village of San Martino, which dates back to the 10th century. In this way, the route combines an experience of nature with religious buildings, without requiring the two themes to be planned separately.

The character of the route changes: the Passeggiata di Poleo leaves the asphalt and follows a small uphill path into a quiet, wooded setting. When planning your day, this change is just as relevant as access to the Via Crucis in Poleo, which is reached via a steep climb along a stream.

The Stations of the Cross continues uphill to the end of the religious route on the hilltop. Anyone choosing a holiday apartment in Rive Poleo can therefore distinguish between a shorter stay in the park, a walk with a woodland section and a steeper route with cultural stops.

Cultural impressions in Poleo

The Fuoribosco festival also added a cultural accent in Poleo. It included “L'Eco della Terra”, featuring rural stories from the early 20th century and music played on natural instruments at Azienda In Costa Al Sole in Poleo. A signpost on the Passeggiata di Poleo also points towards Via Rive Poleo.

When choosing your accommodation, what matters most is therefore which daily rhythm suits you: games and picnics at Parco Robinson, church art and historic religious sites, or paths with woodland, a stream, an uphill section and the Stations of the Cross. These different focuses help you assess Rive Poleo according to your personal holiday ideas.
