The Venice of past times still exists…

Although there are many tours available, only a very few take you to the real heart of Venice. And this heart lies not only in the streets to be followed but in opening up a whole different way to experience the city, whose true meaning lies in an equal combination of outstanding monuments and a subtle alchemy of diverse elements: light and shadow, nature and civilisation, the chaotic market cries and mysterious almost imperceptible sounds, the combination of traditional flavours and odours, antiquity and modernity…

Venice’s soul lies in the emotions which only it can evoke, emotions which transform it from the way it is usually seen, as in a solemn postcard. Those who live here understand that Venice is an experience which penetrates to the heart and which can be shared as much as possible with its visitors. It would be a great pity to miss out on this feeling during your holiday in Venice, an experience which can not be photographed but is impossible to forget. And it is the feeling which we want to share with you, to experience Venice as we do, as we feel and as we live. Welcome to the real Venice!

'O you! Whoever you

are, that journey toward this enchanted city for the first time, let me tell you how happy I count you! There lies before you for your pleasure the spectacle of such singular beauty as no picture can ever show you nor book tell you, - beauty which you shall feel perfectly but once, and regret forever'.

“Venetian Life” by William Dean Howells 1866.
