Val Liona

 

Val Liona sits in the pristine heart of the Berici Hills, unfolding along the valley of a gentle stream once powered by a bustling network of vintage watermills. A true paradise for hikers, the area boasts five scenic nature trails dotted with historic fountains and quaint casotti (ancient stone shelters).

The valley guards architectural masterpieces like the medieval hamlet of Campolongo and the elegant 17th-century villas, Dolfin and Priuli, both attributed to the genius of Vincenzo Scamozzi. The region is also celebrated for the extraction of its signature, warm-hued Vicenza Stone from the Pederiva and Spiazzo quarries, a heritage beautifully celebrated at the local Museum of Rural Civilization.
