Welcome to Venice Kayak offered by Friends Travel LLP 90048

October 25, 2009

Welcome to Venice Kayak

Venice is the most spectacular city in the world, unique in every conceivable way. There is no other place like it, with similar atmosphere, history, tradition, food and splendor.

Venice is the daughter of the lagoon like Venus of the sea. In Venice boats mean more than cars, canals more than roads, and the only way one can say to have experienced the real Venice, is to have meandered the canals of the city and the lagoon by boat, and what better way to do that than by kayak.

Venice Kayak offers kayaking day trips in the city and in the lagoon. We’ll paddle with gondolas in Canal Grande and roam the smaller canals, stopping in little squares for lunch. We’ll organise evening paddles through the city after a dinner in the lagoon. We’ll paddle to Murano to see the glassworks, and further around the lagoon to Burano and Torcello. We’ll visit a traditional gondola shipyard and we might even do a voga alla veneta tryout, rowing like a gondolier.

Venice Kayak can cater for groups of 2-5 participants for day trips on short notice, and up to 12 participants on longer notice.  We can help organise complete kayaking holidays in Venice for groups up to 12 persons for a week or more. We’ll pick the group up in the airport, organise kayak friendly camping or hotel, provide kayaking gear and guides, and help you plan you time on land as well.

Venice Kayak is based on the Lido, 30 minutes paddle from St. Mark’s, 1km from the beach and with everything the Lido can offer within walking distance.

CA’ SAGREDO HOTEL- Venice, Italy with Friends Travel LLP 90048 L.A. CA.

July 17, 2009

In a city as splendid and divinely romantic as Venice, staying in just a hotel doesn’t seem right. Taking up temporary residence in a PALACE, well…that sounds more appropriate and we must confess the Ca’ Sagredo Hotel’s seductive spirit has won us over. This former regal residence is a 15th century Palazzo set on the Grand Canal, resplendent with works ofa art from the most famous Venetian painters of centuries past, carefully restored to it’s natural noble state which somehow mixes effortlessly with the bold modern touches of luxury. Each of the 42 magnificent rooms maintain the feel of ancient Venetian splendor and offer possibly the most striking views of the shimmering water below, yet all feature their own unique feel. Venice is all about over-indulgence- the art, the culture, the food, and the passion for life and this stunning property truly embodies this spirit. To wind down the day in Venice, losing yourself in the most amazing sunsets whilst sipping a Bellini pretty much ranks up there as one of the most beautiful feelings in life, and there’s no better spot for this than the Ca’ Sagredo.

ANTICO CASALE DI SCANSANO- Casale Italy

“Keep going, down the road, straight down the road and there you’ll find our little Casale”, said the front desk manager through the phone after we called from the car. Take one wrong turn in this part of Tuscany and you could be lost for hours (point proved) but wow is it worth it when you arrive. Set in a beautifully restored farmhouse, and surrounded by impeccably manicured gardens, this piece of heaven is just steps from the charming center of town and offers a fully equipped European spa, equestrian center, Italian cooking classes, and the most charming accommodations. The full breakfast (included by the way) was laden with the most wonderful fresh breads, cheeses and fruit, and dinner was absolutely gorgeous, with treats like homemade fettuccini, wild boar, and incredible desserts. It certainly feels like Mom is in the kitchen working her magic, and absolutely feels like home. Special spa and wine/culinary packages available now. Note to self- rent GPS along with your rental car to avoid unnecessary directions-related spats with your traveling companions!

Imagine Italy with Friends Travel LLP 90048 JESS Kalinowsky

Featured Destinations

Imagine Italy

Back in the day, Italy reigned supreme in travel value, especially as a destination to see some of the most important historic sites in the Western World, eat great food, enjoy great wines, and bask in beautiful scenery. And, if you haven’t noticed lately, those value days are coming back again!

Where else can you see the Forum one day and visit Pompeii the next, all while enjoying La Dolce Vita? And we’re not talking about the movie here, but literally ‘the sweet life,’ stripped of irony and wordplay. It doesn’t get much better than Italy, as those who’ve visited it time and again can attest.

Just imagine yourself at a cafe on a piazza, watching people and enjoying some regional delicacies. Or wandering the streets after perusing the weekly market in a small village in Tuscany or Umbria, only to find a restaurant with no signage, no menu and some of the best food you’ve had in your life. Or having breakfast with a person that’s dear to you on a patio overlooking the Mediterranean and a full day of nothing to do ahead of you. That’s Italy.

Year after year, Italy’s withstood the test of time as the most popular destination in Europe and 2009 is no different. Add on the facts of the dollar’s strength, the hoteliers’ hunger, the price drop in air fares, the Italians warmth, and you’ve got a recipe ripe with travel value.

As you can probably tell, we here at the Independent Traveler have a hankering for an Italian vacation. So let’s all pack our bags and get another vacation to Italy started!

Rome, Florence and Venice
10 days/9 nights from $2,115 per person

The art masterpieces and historical heritage of Italy’s three greatest cities await, featuring some of our favorite hotels, sightseeing tours and great meals.

Current Europe Hotel Specials
Our info is constantly being updated and we offer the best hotel deals in Europe for instant savings when booking an vacation with Friends Travel Recommended Vacation Packages (RVP).
