Euganean Hills Itinerary

Moving away from the centre of Padua the concrete buildings quickly give way to the luminous greenery of the countryside, where gracious villas and houses alternate with newer edifices. Here, far from the

frenetic city rhythms, we enter another world, a world dedicated to vine-growing and the preservation of ancient traditions. The unique character and pleasure of the Euganean basin consists in a mixture of ingredients: wine, food, spas, nature, history, art and spirituality.


The road of the 13 DoC wines (which includes the homegrown Serprino and Pinello) takes in all these attractions, and fills the palate with their marvels.

Art and the sun

1 day itineraries

Culture and relaxation: a summer tour which alternates between historical cities and the sun, beaches, nature and thermal spas which Bibione offers. Generally we recommend a visit to the cities during mid-season to profit from the warm climate, though we are aware that not everyone can take an appropriate number of days holiday during the spring or autumn: hence this solution which permits two holidays in one, alternating cultural stimulation with reinvigoration, a beach holiday with cultural tourism. An ideal package for all the family.
