Longare

 

Resting gracefully at the base of the Berici Hills along the Bacchiglione River, Longare encompasses the uniquely charming villages of Costozza and Lumignano. The area is steeped in the history of soft stone quarrying and famous for its còvoli—mystical natural caves used over the centuries as rock dwellings, with the striking Villino Garzadori da Schio standing out as a prime example.

Costozza treasures elegant aristocratic estates naturally cooled by “ventidotti”, an ingenious ancient system of underground air ducts, while Lumignano is globally celebrated for the clifftop Hermitage of San Cassiano and its sheer rock walls—a premier international playground for rock climbing.
