Venice: Romance on the Water
Drift into one of the world’s most enchanting cities, where sunlight dances on emerald canals and ornate palaces seem to rise magically from the water’s edge. For three unforgettable nights, your home will be a centrally located 4-star hotel, perfectly situated for wandering Venice’s labyrinth of bridges, piazzas, and pastel alleyways. Marvel at the Byzantine mosaics of St. Mark’s Basilica, step inside the Gothic splendor of the Doge’s Palace, and pause at every corner where history and beauty intertwine.
The highlight? A private gondola ride, just for two. For one golden hour, you’ll slip through hushed canals where flower-draped balconies hang overhead, then glide out into the sweeping drama of the Grand Canal. As your gondolier guides you beneath centuries-old bridges, the gentle rhythm of the oar mingles with the lapping water. Sunlight fades to twilight, facades shimmer like painted reflections in the ripples, and suddenly you realize—you are living inside a love story that Venice has told for centuries.
Verona: A City of Romance & History
From the waterways of Venice, your journey continues to the timeless charm of Verona, a city where romance lingers in every piazza and stone archway. Beloved as the setting for Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet, Verona enchants with cobbled streets, Renaissance palaces, and a golden-hued skyline that glows at sunset.
During your stay, enjoy a private 2.5-hour walking tour that brings the city’s history and legends vividly to life. Stroll hand-in-hand along narrow alleys lined with boutiques and cafés, step into bustling piazzas framed by medieval towers, and stand before Juliet’s balcony — a symbol of love known the world over. Your guide will reveal stories hidden within Verona’s walls, from the grandeur of its Roman amphitheater to the quieter charms of its tucked-away courtyards.
By evening, unwind in your 4-star hotel, perfectly located to soak in the city’s vibrant atmosphere. Whether sipping an aperitivo in Piazza delle Erbe, savoring dinner in a candlelit trattoria, or simply wandering beneath the stars, Verona invites you to live out your own love story amidst its timeless beauty.
