Villorba, the villages along the Pontebbana north of Treviso

Villorba begins where Treviso ends, on the road to Conegliano, and the boundary is barely visible. The Pontebbana trunk road crosses the municipality from end to end and has shaped it: warehouses, car dealers, shops and offices along the road, housing and fields on either side. Villorba has no single centre but is made up of villages, such as Lancenigo, Fontane, Catena and Carità, each with its own church and schools.

For buyers, position relative to the Pontebbana makes the difference. Near the road you have services and connections, but also heavy traffic and noise; moving into the villages, detached and semi-detached houses and small blocks of flats sit in quiet streets, with the Treviso countryside close at hand. Lancenigo has a stop on the Venice to Udine railway, useful for getting to Treviso and Conegliano.

In 2023 there were 17,571 residents, down 1.7% on 2011, or 312 fewer: an almost static population. Villorba is slightly older than the province of Treviso, with an estimated average age of 47.6 against 46.0 and over-65s at 25.8% against 23.8%. Foreign residents account for 8.8%. Declared incomes are just above the provincial average.

The foothill belt of the Treviso area, between the Montello and the Cansiglio, is one of the seismic areas of the Veneto. Under the zones set by Italy's Civil Protection Department, the province has 4 municipalities in zone 1, 72 in zone 2 like Villorba and 18 in zone 3. Here expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.164 g. For a house from the building boom years, ask for the structural design and check whether the loft or attic was converted later on.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report finds the plot from the address. On a plain crossed by ditches, drains and small streams, flood hazard depends on the exact spot and is read for the address.
