Wake Up To Breakfast In Venice.

Venice is one of Italy's top travel cities and a beautiful, romantic destination with many attractions. Its small, traffic-free streets along the winding canals make for great walking. You'll find many magnificent churches and palaces, lively squares, and interesting shops. Since it's near the sea, Venice has moderate weather although there can be rain nearly year-round. Summers are humid and winters can be foggy and wet. To avoid the large crowds, spring and fall are the best seasons to visit. Venice experiences flooding or aqua alta about 60 days a year, October through early January.Venetian glass, especially from the island of Murano, is a specialty. Carnival masks make great gifts or souvenirs. Venice is also known for its marbled paper and you might find some good lace here, too. You will also see many nice watercolors of Venetian scenes.

Gatto Nero(Black Cat)

Seafood is a big part of Venetian cuisine as are polenta and rice. Seppia, cuttlefish, is popular and risotto nero is a rice dish colored with its ink. Try zuppa di pesce fish soup here, too. Radicchio trevisano, red chicory, comes from nearby Treviso. Cicchetti, little appetizers, are found in the bars in Venice and are often eaten before lunch

Hotel Danieli Venice

 There cannot be a better location in all of Venice, just a few steps from the Piazzi San Marco. We stayed in a luxury room in their newest building, the Excelsior. The rooms were handsomely decorated but on the small side. The air conditioning was excellent and my room was very quiet. The bed was heavenly, the most comfortable one I have had in a hotel in a long time. The rooftop restaurant has one of the greatest views in the world, but the price for eating breakfast here is very steep.(it wasn't included in my room rate).Staff were friendly and helpful, particularly the concierges. I will definitely stay here again. I have also stayed at the Gritti. If you are looking for a Grand Canal view you may be better off there as it will be quieter than at the Danieli. The street in front of the Danieli is bustling all day.
