Room for Surprises
We love a plan, but we adore a spontaneous moment even more. Whether it's an impromptu al fresco meal or a moon-lit musical performance, our advice is to expect the unexpected.
At every turn, you encounter a masterpiece of a street.
I love planning trips in the Veneto because, at every turn, you encounter a masterpiece of a street, savour a royal feast with every meal, and find each moment as an artist's canvas waiting to be explored. It's a delight to share this with fellow travellers.
