Verona to Venice With the Kids Age 12+, Italy ~ Butterfield and Robinson

Activity Level: E
Start / Finish: Verona / Venice

All the World’s a Stage…

That Shakespeare fella sure was on to something. A favourite of star-cross’d lovers for centuries, we’ve happily discovered that the Veneto is just as adored by kids as it is by grown-ups. Why most folk rush from Florence to Venice without stopping in at this magnificent swath of Northern Italy, we’ll never understand. Their loss is our gain; With plenty of time together and apart—the kids canoe, climb trees and make pumpkin-stuffed cappellacci, you sample the region’s top vintages, explore fair Ferrara and float down Venice’s famed canals by gondola—don’t be surprised if you’ve all fallen in love with this place by week’s end.

		Villa del Quar, Pedemonte Set amid the famous Valpolicella vineyards, this five-star Relais & Châteaux property has been converted from a Renaissance villa into an exquisitely-appointed hotel. The tranquil, sprawling grounds—featuring vineyards, meadows, a huge swimming pool and a private park—are surrounded by old stone walls. The hotel’s gourmet restaurant features a talented young chef who prepares Mediterranean classics that can be enjoyed either indoors or on the outside terrace.
		Hotel Duchessa Isabella, Ferrara This 16thC residence is located in the heart of Renaissance Ferrara. While not to the standard of the trip’s other two hotels, it is the best hotel in the region, and provides a comfortable home base in this superb city.
		Hotel Cipriani, Venice The Hotel Cipriani is a legendary hotel in Venice. Perched on its own island, a mere five minutes from Piazza San Marco, it is one of Venice’s most famous landmarks. From its exquisite gardens and magnificent pool, to its beautifully appointed rooms, it lives up to its reputation as a world class property that has hosted glitterati past and resent. You may never want to leave!
