5 Hotels and Resorts in Venice

Known as “the floating city”, Venice is probably one of the most unique cities in the world primarily because of its canals, bridges, gondolas, and exciting festivities, such as the Carnival.

The most popular attraction to visit in Venice and what distinguishes Venice from other cities in the world, are the canals and bridges that surround the city. Although they are impressive, also visit St. Mark's Square, the main plaza of the city with incredible buildings like the Doge's Palace or the Byzantine-style St. Mark's Basilica.

Don’t forget to explore the incredible Torre dell'Orologio, one of the most beautiful monuments in the city, which features a 15th century clock and a statue of the Virgin Mary.

You can’t leave Venice without riding either the water bus or the traghetto typical boat. They are not only a great way to get to your destination, but also allow you to admire the impressive landmarks and incredible bridges while doing so.

If you’re lucky, you might experience in the St. Mark’s Square the unique phenomenon, Acqua Alta. This happens when the sea levels rise flooding the square for a couple of hours.

The temperature in Venice is pleasant the whole year making it possible to visit he city any time of the year. In the summer time you can get hot temperatures of around 25ºC, whilst in winter you get temperatures averaging of around 10ºC.

Italian food is mostly known for its pasta and pizzas but in cities like Venice, you can find a very interesting seafood choice like the famous Baccalà alla vicentina (Cod fish made in the Vicenza style).

When visiting the city, look for traditional restaurants where you will find the best Seppie con il nero (squid in its ink) and Bigoli in anchovy sauce (a type of pasta with seafood in anchovy sauce).

In the Bacaris, the typical Venetian bars, you will get a cicchetti which is a small plate of food with each drink you order.

In our hotels in Venice, we have restaurants perfect for you to try the finest Venetian-style food.

You will have to travel to Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE) when visiting the city. Another option is to land at the nearby Treviso Airport (TSF). From there, you will need to take either a bus, a water bus or a water taxi into the city centre.

The easiest way to get around the city is to walk from your accommodation in Venice to your destination enjoying the unique view of the canals.

For longer trips, you can take the Traghetti, a famous large gondola which is a must-see tourist attraction, but also a great choice of transportation. The vaporetti water buses and water taxis are the fastest and best options.
