Venice
Romance in Venice
Made up of 118 islands, this beguiling city begs to be explored, either on foot or by boat.
A coffee in the Piazza San Marco, flanked by the beautiful Basilica di San Marco, is the perfect place to start – then go west and follow in Hemingway’s footsteps for a cocktail or two at Harry’s Bar.

Getting Around
Arriving by air you’ll touch down at either Treviso (19 miles) or Marco Polo airports (4 miles). From the former, take the #6 bus into Treviso itself (30min); from there you can pick up frequent bus and train connections into Venice. From Marco Polo, take the inexpensive waterbus leaving every hour for San Marco.

Offering unusually large rooms, a family-run atmosphere, a relaxing breakfast room and no small amount of charm, Da Bruno’s finest feature is its location between the tourist honey-pots of St. Mark's and the Rialto Bridge. |
