In love with Venice

Venice is a place of amazing historical beauty. It’s not just a big museum, if you know where to look, there is a vibrant and decadent world to be found.

From breakfast at the finest bakeries to an island escape for lunch, the typical Venetian aperitivo and a nice dinner on surrounding Islands, Sandra shares her perfect day in the city of canals.

Watch the video below.

 

A captivating escape

Discover the breathtaking natural beauty, the Venetian habits and unique views of these magical islands. Visiting the Squero gives you an insight on the gondola making and her visit to Valle San Leonardo lets you sneak into a typical Venetian family house, a pittoresque address of inspiration to many painters and writers.

This is my perfect Venice. Enjoy discovering yours!
