Venice, Italy; one of the most ancient, exotic, and wonderful
places in the world to visit. Venice was home to many
civilizations over the past few centuries and is now home to the
Italians that are very proud of their beautiful country. It is
said that in the American winter months Venice is filled with
American "heat-seekers" that have eluded the frigid North
American months. While this peak season might be a little hot and
a little more expensive, it is definitely a unique winter
vacation. Think about it, while you are sitting down at a nice,
European cafe overlooking the Mediterranean sea, your friends and
family back home are throwing on layer after layer of clothing to
try to keep the chills away! What a glorious breakfast that would
be!
One of the most reputable "palaces" (resorts) would be the Hotel
Danieli. This palace is surprisingly affordable and it's
restaurant (which is world renown) overlooks the sea which is
seen for miles five stories below the balcony. The building was
first built in the 14th century and has been a hotel since 1822.
But don't worry! It has been renovated many times and is now a
very modern get-away for those European travelers.
But if you do happen to want a little more accommodating
accommodations you might consider either the Gritti Palace or the
Westin Europa and Regina. Both of these resorts are world renown,
they have been the setting for many movie scenes and a home away
from home for many stars such as Sean Connery, Fred Astaire, and
Catherine Deneuve! If you do happen to be staying at either of
these two "palaces" then be sure to check out the Caffes Florian
and the Quadri for the most memorable Italian meals of your life!
Its worth it.
