Rosà: History, Nature and Cycling Routes for Your Holiday Apartment

Rosà between history, nature and activity

Rosà combines historic architecture with landscaped parks, a regional speciality, cycling routes, natural areas and accessible swimming facilities. Those who choose a holiday apartment in Rosà as their base can plan their days around different interests: the villa and park, nature and local history, cycling routes or time by the water each offer their own distinctive focus. The appeal lies not in a single attraction, but in the combination of these specific places and themes.

Villa Dolfin Boldù and its parkland

Villa Dolfin Boldù is a 17th-century building. Its construction began in 1650 on behalf of the noble Dolfin family. Rosà is therefore home to a historic building whose origins are closely connected with the history of the Dolfin family.

The park adjoining Villa Dolfin Boldù is a neoclassical park. Alberto Parolini designed it, and Francesco Bagnara completed it. The park covers 33,500 m² and includes a pond as well as numerous centuries-old trees. The architecture, landscaped garden, body of water and mature trees combine to shape the character of this place.

Natural areas and local districts

The Parco rurale sovracomunale Civiltà delle Rogge is also known as Parco delle Rogge and is a protected area of local interest. It was established by resolutions of the municipalities of Rosà, Bassano del Grappa and Cartigliano. The natural area covers approximately 250 hectares across the territories of these three municipalities.

In the Sant’Anna district, Parco della mezzadria is located west of the “Zanella” primary school. This park is accessible to visitors with disabilities.

Cycling routes for active days

The Rosà area has an interconnected network of more than 50 kilometres of cycling routes. This network requires ongoing maintenance and renewal. For orientation while cycling, individual completed routes with more precise descriptions of their courses are also available.

Between 2016 and 2017, a safe combined cycle and pedestrian path was completed along the first section of Via Molino, from the junction with the SP59 towards the centre of Travettore. Another route from Ca’ Minotto was renovated in 2019 with a contribution of €100,000 from the Italian Ministry of the Interior. It connects Rosà with Rossano and is approximately 1,100 metres long.

Asparagus tradition and swimming facilities

White Bassano D.O.P. asparagus is also part of Rosà’s special annual calendar: the exhibition and competition took place for the 40th time in 2026 and were held on Sunday, 26 April, at Parco delle Rose in Rosà. The Centro Nuoto “Piscina delle Rose” – Centro Sportivo “Sole delle Alpi” includes an outdoor swimming pool with two pools covering 788 m². The Centro Nuoto is accessible to people with disabilities. In Rosà, a regional culinary tradition therefore meets a specific offering for days by the water.

Accessible churches in Rosà

The Chiesa Parrocchiale di Cusinati, the Duomo di Sant’Antonio Abate and the Chiesa Parrocchiale di San Pietro are accessible to wheelchair users.
