WHY VENICE
Canals at dawn, the lagoon by afternoon, and a spa to retreat to.
Venice is made for staying in the right place: somewhere quiet enough to hear water at night, with a spa or garden to escape the crowds. We choose palazzo hotels in Dorsoduro, Cannaregio and on the lagoon islands, and tell you when to walk and when to take a boat.

Venice, answered.
When is the best time to visit Venice?
Venice is a year-round city break. Spring and autumn give the best balance of decent weather and smaller crowds, while summer is liveliest and winter quietest.
How do I get to Venice?
Venice is reachable by road and rail, or a short flight from the UK. Retreat48 picks the sensible airport or route and times the real door-to-door journey for you.
What is Venice best for?
Venice is best for culture, romance and city break. Canals at dawn, the lagoon by afternoon, and a spa to retreat to.
