Venice,personally.

From the ancient market of Rialto to Piazza San Marco: a concise, thoughtful introduction that gives you the confidence to continue discovering Venice on your own.

From the spaces of everyday life to the ceremonial heart of the Republic: six hours to understand how Venice became an idea before it became an image.

After the doors close, read the basilica through architecture, mosaic, ritual, light and the idea of Venice it was created to make visible.

A palace without fortifications, a government built upon ritual and representation: read the visual language of Venetian power after closing time.

A day across the lagoon to encounter Murano’s glass, Burano’s lace and colour, and the quieter landscapes where the story of Venice began.

Begin with Venice at your feet from St Mark’s Campanile, then leave the expected route to discover remarkable churches, intimate campi and architectural surprises.

Nine unhurried hours to cross the lagoon as Venetians do: glass and mosaics, island paths and local flavours, with time for the unexpected and, when conditions allow, a swim at the bacàn.

One private hour aboard a classic Venetian wooden motorboat, with prosecco served as palaces, bridges and quieter canals reveal the city from the perspective for which it was built.
