Altavilla Vicentina
Nestled at the foot of the Berici Hills, Altavilla Vicentina unfolds around the Roccaforte Hill, home to the romantic ruins of an ancient castle and the enchanting Chiesetta della Rocca, a historic local parish. The town guards an old-world heart shaped by quaint shrines, historic fountains, and centuries-old chapels—such as San Biagio and Salve Regina in the hillside hamlet of Valmarana—many of which can be reached via scenic nature trails. Right in the town center, the lush green spaces of “Il Brolo” Park and “Il Laghetto” offer a peaceful retreat, perfect for wildlife spotting. The area is also graced by the magnificent Villa Valmarana-Morosini, a grand Venetian villa that now proudly serves as the headquarters of the CUOA Foundation.
