Hiring a motorhome in Vicenza opens the road to a quieter side of the Veneto than its neighbours: the city of Andrea Palladio, its palaces, its Teatro Olimpico and the Villa La Rotonda, all UNESCO World Heritage, then the wooded Berici Hills to the south and the Asiago Plateau to the north. Our partner company McRent offers motorhomes sleeping three to six, for couples and families alike.
Its depot is not in the city but in Alonte, on the south-western slope of the Berici Hills, about twenty kilometres from the centre: bear this in mind before booking a train or a flight.

South of the city, the Berici road skirts Lake Fimon then crosses Barbarano Vicentino and its tai rosso vineyards, before reaching Lonigo and Scamozzi's Rocca Pisana, perched on its hill. In Pojana Maggiore, a Palladian villa stands at the edge of the plain. Further east, the ramparts of Este and the fortified hill of Monselice herald the Euganean Hills and the spas of Abano, the last stop before heading back.
To the north, Schio and its old textile mills lead to the Recoaro Terme valley, then to the Pian delle Fugazze pass, at the foot of the Pasubio massif, where the Road of the 52 Tunnels, dug during the First World War, can be walked. After Arsiero, the hairpin climb of the Costo reaches the Asiago Plateau, its alpine pastures, its cheese dairies and its imposing war memorial. Return via Thiene and its brick castle.
To the south-east, Rovigo then Adria, an ancient port that gave its name to the Adriatic, lead to the Po Delta, a nature park of river branches, lagoons and rice fields where flamingos and herons can be spotted. After the beaches of Rosolina Mare, Chioggia, a fishing town whose canals are lined with colourful houses, closes the loop before the drive back through the Paduan countryside.
April and June are among the most pleasant months in Vicenza, mild and bright, ideal for walking the Berici trails or strolling under the arcades of the Basilica Palladiana. May, on the other hand, is by far the wettest month of the year, with frequent showers and storms. The roads of the Asiago Plateau clear of snow as spring goes on.
The Vicenza plain becomes hot and sultry, and afternoons are ill-suited to city sightseeing. This is the season of the Asiago Plateau, at around a thousand metres above sea level, where the alpine pastures are grazed and the summer dairies sell their cheese. In the mountains, storms often break late in the day: set off early for hikes on the Pasubio.
The grape harvest brings the hills of Gambellara and the Berici to life, and the mild weather makes it possible to visit the villas without the summer heat. Rain clearly returns, though: September is the second wettest month of the year, and October shortens the days. The Po Delta then welcomes many migratory birds.
Nights freeze in January and fog often covers the plain in the morning. The Asiago Plateau turns into a cross-country skiing area, while Vicenza can be discovered in peace, from the rooms of Palazzo Chiericati to the frescoes of Villa Valmarana ai Nani. A well-heated motorhome and parking areas open all year round are essential.
Most pleasant months: April, June to July.

The Alonte depot lies in open countryside, at the foot of the Berici Hills, far from any shops. Lonigo, the small neighbouring town a few kilometres away, has supermarkets and petrol stations to fill the fridge, the water bottles and the tank before the first stage. It is also a good starting point towards the Rocca Pisana and the vineyards of western Vicenza province.
The historic heart, from the Teatro Olimpico to Piazza dei Signori, is a limited traffic zone with camera-monitored entrances. Leave the motorhome in an outlying car park or a dedicated motorhome area, then walk in along Corso Palladio. The Monte Berico road climbs to the basilica and its viewpoint over the city, but the esplanade fills up quickly at weekends.
Villa La Rotonda and Villa Valmarana ai Nani, decorated with frescoes by the Tiepolos, are only a few minutes apart at the foot of Monte Berico, linked by a footpath. The interiors of La Rotonda open on certain days only: check the opening times before planning your day and park at the bottom of the hill.
Vicenza is served by the A4, which runs west to Verona and east to Padua and Venice, and by the A31 Valdastico, which crosses it from south to north: towards the Polesine plain on one side, towards Piovene Rocchette and the foot of the Asiago Plateau on the other. Both are toll roads; check your vehicle's toll class.
Our partner company McRent hands over its motorhomes at Guglielmi Autocaravan, Via San Feliciano in Alonte, about twenty kilometres south-west of Vicenza. The appointment time is in your confirmation. For a wider choice, Verona is 45 km away as the crow flies and Venice 60 km: also run a search on these departure cities.
The rate depends on the season, the length of hire, the motorhome category and the options chosen: a midsummer departure for the Asiago Plateau cannot be compared with an autumn rental. Run a search with your dates to get the actual prices, mandatory fees included, and book the chosen offer directly.
McRent presents its fleet by category rather than by model. The offers observed range from a vehicle with four seats and three berths, suited to a couple, to several motorhomes with six seats and six berths for families; an intermediate category has six seats but four berths. The details of each category are given in the offer.
Several of our partners' departure cities are close by: Verona 45 km away as the crow flies, Venice and Sommacampagna 60 km, then, in Emilia, Modena, Anzola dell'Emilia and Calderara di Reno, the last two near Bologna, a little over 110 km away. Enter the return city in the search to see which offers accept it.
Three to four days are enough for the Berici and Euganean Hills, four to five for the Pasubio and the Asiago Plateau or for the Po Delta. In ten days, you can combine hills, mountains and lagoons without long stages. Keep a full day for Vicenza itself, preferably before pick-up or after returning the vehicle, to get around on foot without worrying about parking.
Good and quick communication, easy to book and easy to follow all the instructions.
Cooldrive was very attentive and very responsive in all situations. We received valuable assistance in the steps to be taken. I highly recommend it.
The person answered my questions before I confirmed the booking. The van matched my order well with extras. During my trip, I had a little issue that had nothing to do with Cooldrive. I appreciated that the person took the time to call me back. No bad surprises, only good ones. Highly recommended.
A category B licence is enough for motorhomes with a total weight not exceeding 3.5 tonnes, which is the case for standard rental vehicles. With a licence issued outside the European Union, Italy generally requires an international driving permit or an official translation. The minimum age and years of driving experience required by the rental company are given in the offer's conditions.
Vicenza has no commercial flights. Verona Villafranca airport is the most convenient for Alonte, about an hour's drive away; Venice Marco Polo is a little further, and Treviso mainly handles low-cost flights. A regional train to Vicenza or Lonigo, then a taxi, will get you to the depot: let the rental company know your arrival time.
Several towns in the Berici Hills and on the Asiago Plateau have aree di sosta, areas reserved for motorhomes, often paying and equipped with a waste disposal point. On the plateau, campsites welcome motorhomes around Asiago and Gallio; in the hills, agritourism farms and wine estates also offer a pitch. Elsewhere, sleeping on board depends on each town's by-laws.
Yes: the southern shore of Lake Garda is about an hour away by motorway via Verona, and the Valsugana leads in a little over an hour and a half to the lakes of Levico and Caldonazzo, at the gateway to the Trentino Dolomites. Vicenza therefore also suits a longer trip, provided you adapt the mountain stages to the size of the vehicle.
Yes: during the cold season, generally from mid-November to mid-April, the roads of the Asiago Plateau and the Pasubio require winter tyres or snow chains on board, and snow falls there every winter. Check the motorhome's equipment at pick-up and ask whether the rental company allows these routes. On the plain, it is mainly the morning fog that calls for caution.
With a single partner depot, the most popular categories go quickly for July and August, as well as for the Italian long weekends of 25 April, 1 May and 2 June. Book several months ahead for these dates. From October to March, a few weeks are generally enough, except over the end-of-year holidays and the snow holidays on the Asiago Plateau.
Vicenza brings together very different landscapes less than two hours' drive away: Palladio's villas and palaces, the Berici and Euganean Hills, the First World War trenches and memorials on the Pasubio and the Asiago Plateau, then, to the south-east, the lagoons of the Po Delta and the canals of Chioggia. Quieter than Venice or Verona, the city can be explored without jostling, and stages remain short.
McRent offers motorhomes sleeping three to six, departing from Alonte. Verona, Venice and Sommacampagna, other departure cities of our partners, are no more than 60 km away as the crow flies, which makes one-way trips easy. April, June and July offer the most pleasant climate; autumn, wetter, stays mild for the grape harvest in the hills, and winter is for the city's museums and cross-country skiing on the plateau.
