Then, on the gondola ride, let the gondolier accompany you through the calm lulling waters, while admiring the city from a different perspective. Through this tour you’ll perceive the magical part that lies in some unusual areas of Venice!

What To Expect

Scala Contarini del Bovolo

Towards the end of the 15th century, Palazzo Contarini in Venice was enriched with a "bizarre and graceful" spiral staircase (in Venetian "bovolo", hence the name).
It is a precious secret gem of this romantic city;a unique architectural treasure that combines the essence of Renaissance, Gothic and Byzantine styles.

Ponte di Rialto

The Rialto Bridge is the oldest of the four bridges spanning the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy. Connecting the sestieri (districts) of San Marco and San Polo, it has been rebuilt several times since its first construction as a pontoon bridge in 1173, and is now a significant tourist attraction in the city.

The dome of the Basilica della Salute has characterized the scenario of St Mark's basin in Venice for more than three hundred years, an authoritative testimony of the high spirituality that marked the 17th century in Venice.
It was wanted by the Serenissima as a prayer and as thanksgiving to the Virgin Mother of God to preserve the city of Venice from the terrible plague of the 17th century.
