There was a lot of road work going on. Between bikes, buses, and trucks on switchbacks, and stoplights for one-way traffic in construction zones, driving anywhere takes longer than expected.

Accommodation: Villa Trieste M, which is about a 10-minute walk down the hill from the center of Asolo. It has several guest rooms in the barchessa, originally the staff quarters and stable for the villa (now under restoration).

Osteria Senz-Oste, a self-service tasting venue was a one of many recommendations from the owner of our accommodation. Buy your wine, water and snacks from vending machines, and find a seat among the vines

About 10 km from the center of Asolo is Villa Barbaro (aka, Villa di Maser), conceived by Andrea Palladio in the 1550s and part of the UNESCO World Heritage group of Palladian villas. The inside features frescoes by Paolo Veronese. This is a private home, so only six rooms are open for touring, and there are no photos allowed inside.

Asolo’s history spans over 2,000 years. Some of it is evident at la Rocca—about 700 steps above town with views across the area and down onto the town, itself

The area is popular with cyclists because it features the same array of terrains encountered in major races. Here, some riders have paused their training to drink from and take a group photo in front of the winged lion fountain in Piazza Garibaldi
