Visiting Venice

First news about the site where Venice is situated, go back to Romans, when the lagoon was lived by fishermen. After Barbarians invasions, lagoon became a sheltering place from raids of people from the North of Europe.

As time passed Venice became a trading city using its waters. And with the trading, the beauty of the city began to rise; with its naval strength it became a cultural centre of the Mediterranean Sea too.. Many artists and architects came in Venice to show and propose their competencies, which you'll may admire everywhere in the city. In fact, it is enough to change street or narrow to find out ourselves in front of famous palaces, different style and times, wonderful glimpse and view.

Romantic atmosphere of the lagoon will soon make you forgive all of your worries and will give you a peaceful feeling you cannot find in any other city you'll see. With its scents and its colours Venice will fascinate and amaze you in every single moment of your stay.

Leaving from our hotel you'll be able to reach every famous site in the city, but also to discover precious corners not mentioned in your tourist guide which have not less value historically speaking. Our suggestion is to loose yourself through streets to find out the real venetian style of life you won't find elsewhere. Going in a church which is not mentioned in your guide is always a strong sensation , because - suddenly - you may find yourselves beside a Caravaggio or Tiepolo paint, by Bellini or maybe Tintoretto.

Our guest has the chance to be right beside the most famous places in Venice, such as Rialto and its Bridge; S. Marco Square, the Grand Canal and all of its wonderful buildings and palaces. But still he is quite near to what is not described in his guide. Back from your sightseeing you'll feel surely like home.

Leaving form Pensione Guerrato you'll find many typical "cicchetterie" (a classical "pub") where tasting venetian cuisine.
