Picture of Venice
Caption: Postcards from Venice & Burano
Caption: I have two loves in my life. My wife and Italy. Luckily she loves Italy and I much the same!
I first visited the stunning islands of Venice nearly a decade ago, and it was the first port of call on our most recent Italian trip.
We spent a magical 3 days of summer in Venice, enjoying its beauty.

Caption: When you get to Venice it’s hard to put your camera down. The gondoliers are the kings of the canals. Around every corner, it feels like you’ve met a new postcard with a new gondolier hero.
There’s something simple yet resplendent about their striped shirts, don’t you think?
Picture of Grand Canal
Caption: The Grand Canal is straight out of every perfume or luxury watch advertisement you’ve ever seen.

Caption: Early risers enjoy the best views Each day, thousands make their way to the islands. So it’s a real treat to get up early in the morning for special views like this, with so few.

Caption: Getting up high The views from, and along the canals are amazing. There are other views to be had, however. For €8, this view can be enjoyed from the top of San Marco’s Campanile.

Caption: Rain won’t ruin a trip to Venice either. It leaves these beautiful mirrors all over the islands.
Picture of Burano
Caption: Burano Burano is a 40 minute vaparetto trip from Venice.
It is best described as Venice is technicolour. All those canals, with the vibrancy of a box of crayons.

Caption: Venice really is a dream like place to visit that evokes all of those emotions you’ve seen or heard.
It is a living, breathing postcard that you can’t help feeling invigorated by.
If you need somewhere central to stay, I can’t recommend Residence Corte Grimani apartments enough.
