DISCOVER POLESINE, LAND OF BIG HORIZONS!
The province of Rovigo, also called Polesine, is enclosed between the two great rivers that cross it: the Adige and the majestic Po with its delta.
This territory extends with the Veneto Regional Natural Park of the Po Delta which offers numerous ideas for naturalistic slow tourism itineraries, where it is possible to take boat trips, canoe trips, on foot, on horseback and along cycle paths. Inside there are several protected areas that can be visited, such as Panarella, a 25-hectare river oasis with educational trails managed by the WWF.
The Best Western Hotel Cristallo*** actively participates in the promotion of these lands through local initiatives designed to improve and increase the tourist development of the area.
An important contribution to this project is given by cycle tourism, an activity that is becoming increasingly popular especially in fascinating and quiet areas such as those of Polesine.
The Best Western Hotel Cristallo*** offers cyclists staying the following services:
• internal garage, to park bikes in shelter
• possibility of agreeing special menus with the Chef to meet every dietary need
• possibility of taking advantage of a packed lunch upon request and upon agreement, for those who want to go on a trip and eat in the open air
Just 20 km away are the Euganean Hills and the walled cities of Arquà Petrarca, Este, Montagnana and Monselice, for nature visits and food and wine tours. In the Euganean Hills Regional Park it is possible to choose different ways of visiting, such as walking, cycling and thematic itineraries that allow you to immerse yourself in nature and get to know the place.
For sea lovers, the coast can be reached by car, from which you can admire romantic and evocative places such as Sacca di Scardovari, the pontoon bridge in Santa Giulia or the Punta Maistra lighthouse. The hamlet of Porto Levante is also a characteristic destination both to visit and to use as a starting point for boat excursions towards the lagoon. Also worthy are the beaches along the Po Delta, perfect for relaxation and silence, such as Rosolina Mare Beach and Boccasette Beach.
