My husband and I will be spending several days in Italy, and would appreciate thoughts on what we. might do. (we will have been in Europe for 6 weeks so, by this time, we'll be winding down). We are in our 60/70s, well-traveled (love Venice and Verona but not this trip). We enjoy touring around smaller towns off the beaten path (we will have a car), history, culture and easy hiking. Although we like to drive, I'm happy to avoid larger. cities and the attendant driving/parking problems.
We will be staying at a B@B 30 mins E of Venice and I've drafted a tentative itinerary - and would grateful for any comments or suggestions.
Friday. - arrive from Slovenia
Saturday. - Udine. (1 1/2 hrs from lodging)
Sunday - Maser (Villa Barbaro) and Possagnano - perhaps Asolo (1 hr from lodging)
Monday - Sesto al Reghena - Cordovado - Lignano Sabbiadoro. (45 mins from lodging) note - selected because most sites closed Mondays
Tuesday - Conegliano and Vittorio Veneto
Wednesday - Aquileia and Trieste
Other options -- Treviso, Bassano cel Grappa, Padua and Vicenza (are they manageable with a car?), Dolomites (Belluno and Agordo), Grado, Montagnana, Pordenone/Sacile/Porcia. or Spilimbergo/San Daniele/Fagagna.
If we miss any of these, will we regret it later? Should we skip any of the towns we are thinking of? Other ideas??
Thank you so very much!!
