Castelcies is situated in the heart of the hills of the Grappa foothills, an area in Veneto that combines the tranquility of natural landscapes with the allure of a millennia-old history. This small village, with origins believed to date back to the Bronze Age, still retains an authentic and peaceful atmosphere, marked by the rhythm of nature and human activity.
Just a short walk from the Corte di Cesio, visitors can explore the medieval church of San Martino, dating back to the 11th century, and the ruins of the ancient Maltraversi castle, nestled among the trails winding through forests and clearings. The view expands to broad and captivating horizons: to the north stands the Grappa massif, now recognized as a MAB-UNESCO heritage site, featuring memory trails and peaks ideal for hiking; to the south, the gentle Asolane hills lead into the Venetian plain; and to the east, one can see the Prosecco Hills, also a UNESCO World Heritage site, renowned for their vineyard landscapes and celebrated wineries.
The surrounding area is rich in cultural, historical, and gastronomic offerings. Just a few kilometers away are Asolo, described by Carducci as "the city of a hundred horizons," known for its elegant historic center and literary ambiance, and Possagno, the birthplace of Antonio Canova, where visitors can tour the Gypsum Museum and the temple he designed. Castelfranco Veneto, Feltre, and Cittadella provide more opportunities for exploration among ancient walls, museums, and theaters.
This region is also ideal for outdoor enthusiasts: trekking, Nordic walking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and paragliding. The numerous marked trails allow for a slow and deep exploration of the landscape, appreciating its variety of colors, sounds, and scents. Additionally, there are plenty of events celebrating local traditions, folk festivals, markets, and thematic gatherings related to local cuisine and products.
Spending a few days in Castelcies means taking the time to slow down, immersing oneself in an authentic environment, and breathing in a harmony composed of nature, history, and genuine relationships.
