Venice and Its Collections
Step into a world of beauty and festive refinement with this experience. During the most enchanting time of the year, Venice reveals a charm of rare intensity: twinkling festive lights shimmer across the canals, the air is laced with the warm aroma of spices and tradition, and the hushed stillness of the lagoon evokes an atmosphere of quiet reverie.
It is an exclusive daytime experience, a journey through hidden treasures, art, and music, immersed in the poetic magic of the city during the holiday season.
The day begins at Venezia Santa Lucia railway station, where guests are warmly welcomed by local guides before boarding private motorboats bound for a historic noble residence: the captivating Palazzo Erizzo Ligabue. Typically closed to the public, this elegant setting opens its doors to reveal a precious private art collection, an exquisite reflection of Venice’s deep cultural heritage.
Within the refined halls of the palazzo, guests will enjoy a seasonal buffet luncheon inspired by traditional Venetian flavors, thoughtfully curated to celebrate the culinary spirit of the holidays.
Following lunch, a graceful boat transfer leads to the heart of the historic center for a guided stroll through Venice’s most iconic landmarks: from the grandeur of St. Mark’s Square and the Rialto Bridge to the legendary Teatro La Fenice. Along the way, evocative stories and hidden details reveal the soul of La Serenissima during one of its most atmospheric seasons.
The highlight of the day is an intimate classical concert at the Museum of Music in Campo San Maurizio. Surrounded by rare period instruments, guests will be captivated by a trio of musicians performing works by great Venetian composers, an experience as profound as it is moving.
After the concert, guests will have time to wander through the city’s festively adorned calli, browse artisanal Christmas markets, or simply absorb the singular ambiance of a Venetian winter.
The experience concludes with a private boat transfer back to the railway station, leaving each guest with the memory of a day steeped in elegance, discovery, and the quiet splendor of a Venetian holiday.
