Day 5
After breakfast, the tour leaves for Treviso and a guided tour of the historical center and its important monuments such as the Sala del Capitolo del Seminario (the Capital Hall of the Seminary), Saint Nicolas Church and the Piazza dei Signori, on which faces the Palazzo dei Trecento.
The little island of Pescheria, surrounded as it is by two rivers, together with its frescoed palaces brings to mind many a Venetian alley.
Free time for lunch, then to Ponzano Veneto for a visit to the Benetton factory, a manufacturer at the forefront of the clothing industry.
In the late afternoon the tour continues on to Bassano del Grappa, at the sixteenth century Belvedere Hotel and Restaurant.
The Belvedere boasts a typical Veneto tradition, ever since the Serenissima Republic ordered it built so that Venetian nobles who were used to luxury would not find themselves too inconvenienced during their stays in Bassano on their frequent business trips inland.
Dinner and overnight accommodations.
