Veneto, depite having the beautiful city of Venice at it's heart, is an underappreciated region of Italy. The sweeping Veneto plain is bordered by the Dolomite mountains on one side and the Adriatic sea on the other. The cities of this region are overflowing with treasures of art and achitecture, while the countryside is filled with charming towns and villages and world renowned wineries. Italy's top ski resort of Cortina d'Ampezzo lies in the north of Veneto and to the southwest, the tranquil waters of Lake Garda. What more could you ask for?
