Villas in Italy in Veneto

Italy has so many fantastic stretches of coastline that the beaches of Veneto are often overlooked. All along the region’s coastline, from the Po Delta National Park in the west to Bibione in the east, there are delightful beaches to enjoy. Italian villas in the region have easy access to family friendly seaside resorts, such as Caorle, to the west of Venice, which has a 300m-wide sandy beach which leaves plenty of room for family fun. Veneto may lack the secluded coves of Sardinia, but it makes up for this with easily accessible beachside activities and reasonable prices. Escape Venice accommodation in the height of summer and head to the beach for a gelato and a paddle.

The city of Venice is one of the most famous tourist destinations in Italy and the world. A much loved honeymoon destination, this city has everything from picturesque canals, to wonderful art galleries and delicious seafood – fresh from the lagoon. NOVASOL has a number of apartments in Venice which are ideal for holidaymakers that want to be right in the centre of the action. However, the city is also easy to get to by train from Italian villas across the Veneto region. Choose a day of your holiday to get up early and visit Venice on a day trip, taking in the sights before returning to the comfort of your holiday rental in the evening.

History enthusiasts will love exploring the historical sites and cultural centres of Veneto while self-catering. There is so much to see here, whether visiting mainland historic centres such as Padua or the Venetian cathedrals and palaces in the lagoon. From Italian villas in the region, discover the history of Padua, which includes the city’s prominent university which was at the very forefront of Renaissance and Enlightenment ideas. Padua also contains the Ragione Palace, which is filled with impressive frescos and sits on a delightful square with cafes and a market. In Venice, there are countless things to see, with highlights including Saint Mark’s Basilica and the Doge’s Palace.

Veneto has some incredible local dishes and culinary specialities to try on Italian villas holidays. This area of Italy is known for its sparkling white wines, particularly prosecco which is made here from local grapes and shipped out all over the world. These crisp wines are best enjoyed with seafood dishes such as fried squid and prawns, featuring on specials menus in family-run restaurants on the coast and in the countryside. When renting Venice accommodation, make sure you try the city’s famous Sarde in soar – fried sardines with caramelised onions, eaten as an appetizer or at any time of the day.
