The waters of Veneto, Italy are an incredible mix, from the bustling glitz of Venice where the action doesn’t stop, to the laid-back isles and seaside canals in San Erasmo, which provide a tranquil setting for some quiet times. Rivers thread inland to intriguing cities and historic towns for you to explore at your own pace. From food to fashion, Italy is a country of indulgence, luxury and beauty just waiting to be explored with Le Boat.
Discover Treviso, an old medieval town where you will appreciate the opportunity to take your time and indulge in some of the culinary delights of this area. Follow the winding streets to secluded restaurants where you can taste the local specialties based on the radicciho, the red salad. Only in this corner of the northern Veneto is this variety of radicciho cultivated – not the tightly furled red globes most commonly found, but curly crimson and white bundles of rapier-slender leaves. After wandering this little walled city, with medieval gates, narrow, cobbled streets of arcaded rose-red brick and stone that twist and turn like dried-out water courses – which is what some of them originally were, releax with a glass of the local wine, prosecco, which in recent years has been granted DOCG status, preventing the name from being used for wines made outside the protected area.
Follow in the footsteps of Hollywood royalty and be allured by the same glitz and glamour that caused George Clooney to tie the knot with a stop in Venice. Famous for its festivals, architecture, history and canals, “The Floating City” is a maze of winding streets and tiny bridges or “ponte” just waiting to be discovered. Although it is one of the most recognizable travel destinations in Europe it is also one of the most endangered, with the city estimated to be 80mm lower in 20 years if the current rate of ‘sinking’ continues.
