When you think of Italy, the first places that come to mind are more famous destinations, such as Rome — often considered the best place to kick off an Italian vacation. Perhaps a romantic vacation to Venice, revered for its canals and gondola rides, appeals to you. If you're a fan of Italian wine, you might be tempted to head on a road trip through Italy's Tuscan countryside.
However, what if you want to visit a place which lets you escape the Venice bustle like Mestre does, and helps you to enjoy a beautiful crowd-free vacation in Italy? If you enjoy clean, crystal-clear lakes, stunning scenery, endless outdoor activities, delectable cuisine, and a splash or two of wine or beer, then the off-the-beaten-path area of Valsugana (Sugana Valley) — just over an hour and a half from Venice's Marco Polo Airport — might just fit the bill.
