Great location for this smart traditionally furnished hotel

The entrance to the Hotel Continental, a short
walk from the centre of Treviso

Situated about halfway between the railway station and the centre of Treviso, the smart Hotel Continental is in an ideal position for visitors who want to travel around the Veneto region during their stay.

This traditionally furnished, four star hotel in Via Roma is also just a short walk from Piazza dei Signori in the centre of Treviso, where there are plenty of shops, bars and restaurants.

The Hotel Continental first opened its doors in 1959, having been given glamorous early 20th century décor to wow its guests.

There are still marble floors, dark wood panelling, chandeliers and antique furniture, but the hotel now also provides 21st century facilities.

The hotel reception is open 24 hours a day to provide assistance to guests whenever it is required.

Room service is available from eight o’clock in the morning till ten o’clock at night. A sweet and savoury breakfast buffet is served in the breakfast room on the ground floor from seven o’clock until 11 o’clock each morning.

Despite the traditional décor that reflects a more stylish, bygone era, all rooms have the modern comforts of air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, a minibar and satellite tv.

The Continental can be found on the corner of Via Roma and
Via Girolamo Da Treviso, a few steps from the railway station

Editor’s note: “I felt I had been transported back to a more glamorous era but but was still made to feel relaxed and comfortable while staying at this friendly hotel. The staff were always pleasant and helpful, the breakfast was excellent and the room and bathroom had everything you could wish for.”

Treviso's attractive city centre

What to see near the Hotel Continental

Just a short walk away from the Hotel Continental you are in the centre of the city and Via Calmaggiore, the main street, where there are some smart shops. At one end is Piazza dei Signori with its Palazzo dei Trecento, which was originally built in the 13th century and at the other end is Treviso’s Duomo.

Stroll along the willow-fringed canals with waterwheels behind Via Calmaggiore until you reach the Pescheria (fish market), which is on a very small island in the middle of Treviso’s River Sile. 

Restaurant recommendation

For traditional Treviso cooking or good pizza, try Zeus Pizzeria Ristorante da Laura at Via Avogari 14 in the centre of Treviso, just minutes away from Via Calmaggiore. The staff are friendly and it stays open till late in the evening. 

Risotto con funghi - mushroom risotto - is a popular
dish in Treviso restaurants

Treviso is close to the so-called strada del prosecco, the road between Valdobbiadene and Conegliano, which is lined with wineries producing Prosecco DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata), the stamp of quality given to the best Italian wines.

Why stay at the Hotel Victoria? 

The Hotel Victoria is close to the Ponte Vecchio, also known as Ponte degli Alpini, designed by the architect Andrea Palladio in 1568 that spans the River Brenta and takes you into the historic heart of Bassano del Grappa.

Bassano's ancient wooden bridge was designed by
Andrea Palladio in the 16th century

What to see and do

Bassano del Grappa has become famous for producing the alcoholic drink, Grappa, which is drunk by Italians as a digestivo or liqueur. The drink derives its name from the graspa, or remnants, of the grapes that are left over after wine making, while the town is named after Monte Grappa, a mountain of the Venetian Prealps.

There are bars and shops where you can taste the different varieties of Grappa, or buy some as a souvenir to take home, including several on either side of the Ponte Vecchio.

The Museo degli Alpini, at the end of the bridge nearest the historic centre of the town, was founded with just a few items in 1948 after the first post-war national assembly of the Alpini, the Italian Army's elite mountain troops, but it has grown over the years, as objects from both world wars have been donated.

The 141ft Torre Civica is hard to miss

Once you have crossed the bridge you will soon catch sight of the enormous 43m (141ft) Torre Civica, which was once a look-out tower for the 12th century inner walls, but now serves as a clock tower.

In Piazza Garibaldi, one of the biggest squares, is the 14th century Church of San Francesco , which has a tranquil cloister housing the Museo Civica, the town’s museum. The museum has the biggest collection of works by local artist Jacopo dal Ponte, who was also known as Jacopo Bassano.

In the next square, Piazza Libertà, there is a 17th century sculpture of San Bassiano, the town’s patron saint, and a market is held there every Thursday.

In the highest part of the city you can visit the remains of the 12th century Castello Ezzelino. Within its walls is the Duomo - the Cathedral of Santa Maria in Colle - which dates back to the 11th century.

Nearby, the beautiful, peaceful Viale dei Martiri has lovely mountain views and provides a poignant memorial to 31 young partisans who were executed there by the Germans in September 1944. Many of them were hung from the trees that line the road and today each tree bears the name of the soldier who was murdered there and many display a photograph of the young victim.

White asparagus is a speciality of the area

Restaurant recommendation

To sample local specialities visit Antico Ristorante Cardellino, just a short walk from Palladio’s covered wooden bridge over the River Brenta. Located in Via Bellavitis, this traditional restaurant, which first opened in 1861, offers local dishes inspired by the ingredients in season. Among the specialities are il roastbeef all’inglese, baccalà alla vicentina and dishes featuring the locally-grown white asparagus. The restaurant is closed on Thursdays.
