Holiday apartment in Brogliano: nature, trails and culture in the Valle dell’Agno

Brogliano lies between the valley floor and gently sloping hills in a green, nature-rich setting. Here, the landscape of the Valle dell’Agno combines with historic religious buildings, traces of early settlement and an extensive network of trails. Those looking for a holiday apartment in Brogliano will find a place where peaceful landscape impressions and varied discoveries can be combined.

Between the valley floor, hills and long trails

The Anello Ecoturistico Piccole Dolomiti connects ten municipalities in the Agno and Chiampo valleys and is more than 120 km long. In Brogliano, the trail runs between Cornedo and Trissino. To reach this section, the access information directs travelers from Vicenza railway station onward by regional SVT Società Vicentina Trasporti services on the Vicenza–Recoaro Terme or Vicenza–Crespadoro lines. The different lengths and sections provide useful guidance when you want to divide your days between longer activities and shorter excursions.

Churches and history in Brogliano

The present-day Pieve di San Martino dates from the 12th century and is essentially Romanesque in design. It continues to serve as a cemetery chapel. In the historic center stands the 15th-century Church of Santa Maria Assunta; it is closed for worship. The section of the Anello Ecoturistico Piccole Dolomiti between Cornedo Vicentino, Brogliano, Trissino and Nogarole Vicentino is also connected with the Pieve di San Martino, Colle Bastie and Villa Trissino Marzotto.

The history along the banks of the Agno also reaches far back: a settlement of Roman or pre-Roman origin once stood there. The remains of an original parish church came to light in this area. Later, the gravestone of the decemvir and aedile Lucio Meio Cessesio and his wife was discovered there. Another historical connection is sericulture, which was practiced in Brogliano in past centuries. A small silk mill operated there until the beginning of the 20th century. San Lorenzo di Quargnenta can be traced back as a parish church to the 14th century.

Walk to Monte Bregonza

The ascent of Monte Bregonza is a short walk; the historic center of Brogliano is recommended as the starting point. The forest path leading there is marked with a brown sign for the Anello Ecoturistico Piccole Dolomiti. At the top, the walk offers views over the green Valle dell’Agno. This allows you to add a manageable trail section and a landscape view to your stay, depending on your daily plans, without overlooking the town’s cultural focus.

A place for different kinds of holiday days

On Sunday, 10 May 2026, the Pro Loco di Brogliano invited residents and visitors to the new edition of the “Caminada tra sentieri e boschi de Brojan”. This event offered an opportunity to explore the municipality between lush valleys and volcanic hills. These specific landscape features can help you choose a holiday apartment in Brogliano: you can weigh up whether walks, historic sites or longer sections of the Anello should be the focus of your trip. The combination of valley floor, hills, churches and trails makes Brogliano a versatile base for an individually planned journey.
