VENETIAN LUXURY BREAK
Flights plus two night stay in a five star luxury hotel

Founded in the 5th Century and spread over 118 small islands,

Titian, Tintoretto, Veronese and others.

architectural magnificence of Venice. Step into a Gondola and explore the waterways or step
onto terra firma and take in the view from the Rialto Bridge. Visit Saint Mark’s Basilica and
treat yourself to a hot chocolate in Caffe Florian – Venice’s oldest cafe – once frequented by
Casanova himself.
What better way to enjoy your break than by staying in The Bauers This luxury, five star hotel
in Art Deco style has a contemporary look and feel, giving guests the opportunity to experience
the life of Venetian palazzo living.
