Two Romantic Nighs in Venice

This package is perfect for those who want to discover the hidden side of Venice, far away from the crowd of tourists, while you explore your creative potential. It’s suitable both for groups of friends, couples and lonely travellers who want to have fun spending an extraordinary holiday in Venice .

Venice is like a labyrinth and that makes your visit even more magic because you can walk with no directions and lose yourself in the beauty of its secret passages. They say that all these streets , in a way or another , will you to Saint Mark’s Square. When you eventually reach this magnificent square, you will feel inside a theatre, when the curtain rises and the show begins.

Venice is the city of water and you will be surprised how different it appears when you visit from a gondola. Everything is slow and calm, there are no cars and noises, only the sound of water that flows along the canals.  From the canal you see the city under a different light, the perspective changes and you will discover an other world, the one belonging to gondoliers. Nothing symbolizes Venice like the long, black, flat-bottomed gondolas that gently move up and down the canals

You will be impressed by Gondoliers ability when gliding the gondolas through the narrow canals without touching the walls. Their peculiar rowing style is called "Voga alla Veneta" (  Venetian Style Rowing). Using just one oar, it’s considered as an art which requires strength, grace and balance ....

Location

If you consider Venice an open-air museum rather than a city, we could maybe change your mind. Here at DreamTaste, we think of Venice not only as an emblem of beauty but also as a proper living city, with local markets, universities, banks, artisans and its young and active population. Beyond the churches and the buldings, the real piece of art you can find here is the people living everyday in such out of time environment. Immune to the frenzy of the present, Venice is still capable of giving visitors glimpses of life absolutely unique and wonderful, thanks to its charming and headstrong population.
