Montebello

For a stay in Montebello, you can plan accommodation and sightseeing interests as separate decisions. The B&B Montebello has an independent entrance and is described as recently renovated. For cultural and cycling interests, there are different perspectives to explore: the extensive collection at the bicycle museum, a historic country villa, and routes focused on villages or landscapes. Sorting through these topics first can help you shape your stay around whether you would rather focus on architectural history, bicycle designs, or trails and viewpoints.

Bicycle Collection and Routes

The Museo Storico della Bicicletta “T. Bevilacqua” displays bicycles dating from the late 18th century and early pedal-powered bicycles. The collection also includes work, touring, children’s, and military bicycles, tricycles, and penny-farthings. The exhibits let you compare different designs and uses side by side, from work and military bicycles to touring and children’s bikes. The focus, then, is not just on one historic model, but on a variety of bicycle types. The contrast with the routes is clear: at the museum, the collection takes center stage; on the trails, villages, buildings, or landscapes provide the focus.

The “Borghi, Ville e Chiese” route starts in Busche and passes through all the hamlets of the municipality of Cesiomaggiore. It links picturesque villages, Venetian villas, and old churches and chapels. Its focus is therefore on several elements of the built and historic environment. If you include this route in your plans, you can explore villages, villas, and churches as connected themes. The specific route conditions should also be factored into your travel plans.

“Le colline tra i torrenti Veses e Caorame” offers a different perspective: the route leads from Cesiomaggiore via Via Paradiso and Via Marianne to the village of Marianne. From Marianne, it offers views of the Valbelluna and the course of the Piave. By contrast, “Borghi, Ville e Chiese” focuses on villages and historic buildings, while “Le colline tra i torrenti Veses e Caorame” combines the route to Marianne with views of the landscape. Conditions on the route along the two roads may change.

Villas and Getting There

Villa Petricelli – Bovio – De Gol, also known as “Villa Montebello,” is located in the village of Montebello in Cesiomaggiore. As a historic country villa, it is associated with the year 1630. This date provides a point of reference for its history: 1630 predates the late 18th century, from which the museum also displays bicycles. Architectural history and bicycle history therefore offer two distinct cultural themes to explore.

For travel, Dolomiti Bus route 18 connects Feltre FS, Busche, Pez, and Cesiomaggiore. The timetable is valid from September 10, 2025; travel times may change. So if you are planning a journey between the places listed, take the timetable’s validity and any possible changes to travel times into account. Busche is also the starting point for the “Borghi, Ville e Chiese” route; the bus connection and the route’s starting point are separate planning details.
