At the foot of the Italian Alps is the small town of Maser, known for its magnificent villas. Asolo, the marvelous walled town where Robert Browing once lived, is 10 km (6 mi.) away; Bassano del Grappa (after which the drink grappa is named), with its charming shops and narrow streets, its entertaining street performers, and its famous covered wooden bridge is roughly 18 km (12 mi.) away. The medieval town of Treviso with its balconied houses along a willow bordered canal is 30 km (18 mi.) away. Venice is another 20 km beyond Treviso. Padua (Padova), famous for a renaissance central district (centro), where you will discover Giotto's Cappella, St. Antonio's Basillica, and the third oldest university in Europe, is about 50 km (32 mi.) away.

The Veneto is remarkable for its beauty, cuisine, art, Palladian villas and historical cities. Some of the most delightful and exciting sights in Italy are within easy reach from this comfortable and beautiful villa. In addition, there are the mountains and lakes to explore. The villa owners have arranged for a reduced fee for their guests at the local golf club, and are happy to arrange visits to local wineries with advance notice. Return home from sightseeing to sit under your pergola and enjoy the quiet and peace in an extensive garden with your own swimming pool.
