Villa a schiera in Breda di Piave

The town sits on the low-lying Venetian plain and the Piave river runs close to the municipality and its floodplain; the area is crossed by irrigation channels and levees. There are no mountain ranges or named lakes inside the 15 km radius and no national or regional parks in that radius. Nearest ski lifts are in the Dolomites and only reachable by a drive of around one to two hours. The nearest town of size is Treviso (provincial capital) roughly a dozen kilometres away, with a mainline rail station and the nearby Treviso airport (Treviso-Sant'Angelo / Antonio Canova) serving low-cost carriers. The local economy is agricultural and horticultural; the province around Treviso is known for products such as radicchio and general market gardening. The Piave river corridor is historically notable for World War I battles along the river.
