Surroundings and territory
A place to start, a place to stay
Those who come to Barone d’Asolo often do so to see Asolo. Then they realize that the area and its surroundings have much more to offer. Ancient villas, visionary architecture, unspoiled villages, hills scented with wine, and paths seemingly designed for slow exploration.
What’s more, thanks to Asolo’s proximity to Monte Grappa, you can also enjoy outdoor sports, including paragliding, trekking, and cycling. That’s why staying a few extra days isn’t just a choice, it’s a gift.
Asolo: city of a hundred horizons
Asolo is poetry in the form of a village. Eleonora Duse called it home. Robert Browning wrote verses about it. Queen Cornaro chose it for her city retreat. Freya Stark set out from here on legendary journeys. Among alleys, covered galleries, and castles, beauty is everywhere.
Bassano del Grappa: the bridge, the museums, the flavors
Famous for the Ponte degli Alpini, Bassano is lively, elegant, and welcoming. Its museums tell ancient stories, the squares teem with life, and in the restaurants you can taste grappa and asparagus that share the history of the territory.
Possagno: Canova and the Light of Marble
The birthplace of the great Antonio Canova is also home to his plaster cast gallery. A silent and powerful place, where plaster casts become eternal. The Temple, which dominates the valley, is a monument and symbol.
Altivole: Carlo Scarpa's Brion Tomb
A visionary work, immersed in quiet. The Brion Tomb is a moving example of architecture. It is no coincidence that it was chosen as a location for the Dune film.
The walled cities: Castles and splendor
Marostica, Cittadella, Castelfranco Veneto: fortified villages, historic squares, museums, artistic itineraries. Little gems that are just a few minutes away by car.
Venice, Padua, Vicenza: capitals of art just a train ride away
From Bassano or Castelfranco, you can reach Venice, Vicenza, and Padua in an hour by train. Spend a day immersed in art, before returning to the peace of home, at the Barone d'Asolo.
Monte Grappa: paths and silence
A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Monte Grappa is the kingdom of nature and pure air. Perfect for trekking, hiking, and paragliding.
Cycling: among vineyards and horizons
The area is crisscrossed by cycle paths such as the Valsugana Cycle Route and the Veneto Ring. Cycling here is a pleasure, among hills, vineyards, and ancient villages.
Sport and freedom
The sky above Grappa hosts hang gliders and paragliders. An intense experience for those who love sports that blend with the landscape.
