For a tranquil time away from the
crowds, book a lunch or dinner at any of the hotels on the calm and
beautiful Giudecca island.
To
get there, hop onto one of the hotel's private boat shuttles, which
depart at regular intervals from little jetties close to the Grand Canal
around St Mark's. We took off from the Bauer for a five minute crossing
to it's sister hotel (Bauer Palladio), on the other side of the Canal
di San Marco.
the landing jetty on the other side
Bauer Palladio
Don't try the main doors, they are always closed...
but lookout for this little side entrance
Lunch and dinner are also served al fresco on the terrace...
which opens onto one of the very few gardens in Venice
Right
next to the jetty is a little café, ideally situated for having a drink
while waiting for the next boat home, and enjoying the view of the
skyline, which thanks to strict urban planning, has remained unchanged
for centuries...
