The landscape
The remarkable floral and arboreal biodiversity that distinguishes the territory of this small municipality in the heart of the Treviso area is testified by the presence of majestic century-old trees, among which worthy of mention are a bagolaro of 150 years, also called romiglia and located in Via Verdi, and the Ginkgo of Maser, more than 20 meters tall and located at the beginning of the road leading to Forcella Mostaccin.
Guarda e Gusta di Maser
When does Guarda e Gusta take place?
The event Guarda e Gusta takes place in June in Piazza di Madonna della Salute, the starting point of a splendid and tranquil 12 km itinerary that winds through the radiant rural landscape of Maser, between cool and liquid canals and sun-drenched fields dotted with lush olive groves and bordered by tall, shady hedges.
The cycle-pedestrian path accompanies participants on a historical-naturalistic journey discovering ancient farmhouses harmoniously integrated into the surrounding environment as well as renowned oil mills open to the public as part of guided tours to discover the unique aroma of first-choice olive oil made special by the mild climate and the healthiness of the soil.
For hiking enthusiasts wondering what to see in Maser, visiting the serene countryside of this charming municipality in the Treviso area will be an exciting experience, especially during the sunny summer days that precede the summer season.

Traditional festival of Madonna della Salute
When and where does the festival of Madonna della Salute take place?
The celebration of Madonna della Salute falls on November 21, although the festivities in the municipality of Maser also take place in the preceding days. In the 2021 edition, the traditional festival took place from November 6 to 21.
As every year, the local community and visitors from all over the region gather to observe the ancient liturgical ceremony in honor of the Holy Patron established in 1630, as well as to share moments of leisure, diversion, and carefree fun within a festival that enlivens the crisp November evenings with live music and top-quality food and wine specialties featuring the colors and flavors of autumn.
Municipality of Maser: small church of San Giorgio
The splendid panorama of the valley serves as a backdrop to the pristine and graceful small church with a dome perched on top of a belvedere located about halfway along the panoramic route “delle Due Rocche”. The ancient convent of millenary origin, reachable from Via San Vettore or from Forcella Mostaccine, is one of the most historically appreciated locations in the area thanks to its refined architecture and the romantic naturalistic setting that surrounds it.
Villa di Maser
Located at Via Cornuda, 7, the Renaissance residence is set within a two-hundred-hectare estate, of which one hundred hectares are woodland, the rest vineyard and partly olive groves.
Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996, the architectural complex harmonizes with the gentle slopes of the hill thanks to the balanced connection of the two main levels of the stately residence with the outdoor spaces: the ground floor with the garden facing the boundless Treviso plain, the piano nobile with the exedra nymphaeum set against a backdrop of sunny wooded hills.
Carriage Museum
The exclusive private collection of vintage carriages is housed inside Villa di Maser and displays true gems of centuries-old Italian craftsmanship, still in excellent condition of restoration.
The precious collection originates from a passion for the equestrian world and horse-drawn vehicles, among which a four-wheeled carriage known as the 19th-century Milanese taxi stands out for its rarity and value.
The collection is open on certain days and time slots from April to October; for more information we recommend contacting or visiting the official website of the Villa Maser Museum.
