Venice and the Scuola Grande di San Rocco

Visit Venice in its most enchanting season. Venice and the Scuola Grande di San Rocco is a refined daytime experience that celebrates the city’s rich artistic heritage, noble traditions, and the subtle charm of the Christmas spirit that envelops La Serenissima at this time of year.

The day begins with a warm welcome by local guides and a peaceful walk through the city’s quiet, festively adorned calli. As you wander through softly lit streets, you’ll reach the Scuola Grande di San Rocco, opened exclusively for the occasion. Within this magnificent setting, guests will encounter the extraordinary frescoes of Jacopo Tintoretto, a Renaissance masterpiece whose dramatic beauty is heightened by the contemplative ambiance of the season.

The experience continues in a private noble residence, typically closed to the public, where guests will be received for an intimate light lunch. Amid period furnishings, the scent of seasonal spices, and refined holiday touches, this exclusive setting offers a rare glimpse into the understated luxury of historic Venetian hospitality.

In the afternoon, elegant private motorboats await to carry guests along the Grand Canal, where reflections of majestic palaces and glimmering Christmas lights dance across the lagoon’s surface. Upon arrival near the Rialto Bridge, a short stroll leads to St. Mark’s Square, the vibrant heart of Venice during the festive season.

Here, guests will enjoy leisure time to explore artisan markets, capture unforgettable moments, or simply soak in the magical atmosphere of one of the world’s most iconic settings.

A final private boat transfer will return guests to the railway station, concluding a truly special day of art, beauty, and refined celebration, and leaving behind lasting memories of Venice at its most poetic.
