Riviera del Brenta
A unique combination of history, culture, art and landscapes.
With the calm current of the river flowing from bend to bend, the Brenta is perfect for a boat ride or to approach from the banks to enjoy the same views on the surface of the water that amazed Goldoni and Casanova, Byron, Goethe and D’Annunzio.
This river offers a unique route, to be followed from Padua to Venice or vice versa with the historic “Burchiello”.
A different experience than usual to visit the Veneto from an alternative perspective: slow and panoramic river navigation.
In the background dozens and dozens of luxurious villas, designed and frescoed by the masters of Italian art, commissioned and lived by the Venetian nobility as second homes, country homes in which to celebrate sumptuous dinners, parties that lasted until dawn or the rite of processions on the water.
Many of these villas can be visited, for example the majestic Villa Pisani in Stra, Villa Foscari La Malcontenta and Villa Widman.
