Venice is a unique city with
waterways for streets, a history rich with past intrigues, power and
pageantry. A city steeped in traditions, such as lace making,
glassblowing, prosecco, seafood, risotto, unique architecture, casinos,
water taxis, pigeons, music, art, and of course, the dashing gondoliers in
their sleek black gondolas. Venice is, indeed, magic.
We'll manage to squeeze in time for
some wonderful culinary experiences: prosecco tasting, pub tours, and
other products unique to the area. We'll take culinary tours AND have
cooking classes in a beautiful old Venetian Palace with a 9th generation
Venetian lady who happens to be an extraordinary cooking instructor.
Special visits to renowned artisans
of Venice are part of our experience: the 88 year old glassblowing
maestro, still actively blowing glass everyday. The paper maker demonstrating his ancient art, the pasticceria demonstration of traditional
donuts and sweets!
Our hotel is a
charming, family owned 3 star hotel with easy access to St Mark's but
located in a quite neighborhood, within easy walking distance to the vaporetto. Rooms are
light and airy, all with private bath.
