Treviso Province Guide: Prosecco Hills, Historic Towns & Slow Travel in Veneto

“

“While the world fights for space in nearby Venice, I choose Treviso every time. It offers the perfect balance of history, refined drinking culture and outstanding gastronomy—without the crowds. For Gigia, it’s a paradise of quiet, shaded canals and medieval ‘intermediate spaces’. It also serves as the perfect gateway: within an hour, you can be sipping Prosecco in the hills, wandering the beautiful village of Cison di Valmarino, or breathing the crisp air of the Dolomites.”

— Jasmine L. Quan, as quoted in The Daily Express (March 2026)
