Venice moves entirely on foot and by water – there are no cars, no taxis, and no shortcuts. A private water taxi is the most elegant way to arrive and to move between appointments, evening dining, and the islands of the lagoon.

We work with trusted water taxi operators and can arrange dedicated transport for the duration of your stay.

Dorsoduro is the most liveable of the sestieri – the Campo Santa Margherita, the Zattere promenade, and the Punta della Dogana reward an unhurried morning away from the San Marco crowds. Cannaregio, in the north of the city, retains the most authentic neighbourhood character – its fondamente, the Jewish Ghetto, and the church of the Madonna dell’Orto are largely free of mass tourism. San Polo’s Rialto market, best visited before nine in the morning, is the most vivid expression of daily Venetian life remaining in the city.
The Basilica di San Marco and the Doge’s Palace between them contain some of the most extraordinary Byzantine and Gothic art in the world – both reward a private early access visit before the queues form. The Accademia galleries house the definitive collection of Venetian painting, and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection on the Grand Canal is among the finest modern art museums in Europe. A private gondola through the smaller inner canals at dusk remains the most romantic hour available anywhere in Italy.
