Altavilla Vicentina is a town and comune in the province of Vicenza, Veneto, northern Italy. It is located southwest of Vicenza.
The town originates from a castle (Rocca) built in the Middle Ages over a hill at the feet of the Colli Berici, and now in ruins.
In the communal territory is the Villa Morosini, one of the most beautiful Venetian villas. It was built in 1724 by architect Moroni for count Benedetto Valmarana.
