Venice Carnival, Verona & Grappa!

Venice carnival celebrations, with its masked ball, sit alongside those on Rio de Janeiro as being the most spectacular in the world, a true bucket list experience.

The Venice carnival attracts visitors from all over the world to experience the ornate costumes and unique atmosphere which takes over the city on the Lagoon. From St Mark’s Square and the stunning architecture to the labyrinth of mysterious passageways await in the alluring city built on a lagoon. Explore the Grand Canal, reflecting the glories of Venetian architecture lining its banks, the Gothic Doge’s Palace and the Basilicas of San Marco and Santa Maria della Salute. Venture further into the back streets and discover churches and museums lined with priceless marble and antique treasure aplenty, and, of course, take a ride in one of the world-famous gondolas.

We are based in Bassano del Grappa and enjoy time here at leisure. The old centre is pretty and compact, enjoy learning about and sampling the location’s namesake fiery spirit at Grapperia Nardini distillery, which is just a 10 minute stroll from the hotel and located on the famous Ponte Vecchio, a 13th century wooden bridge stretching over the River Brenta.
