Overview
Start your holiday in Florence. This city is magnetic, romantic and busy. Its urban fabric has hardly changed since the Renaissance, its narrow streets evoke a thousand tales, and its food and wine are so wonderful that you will return time and time again and still will not have enough. You will see glorious architecture, such as the Duomo of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore designed by Brunelleschi, and the Basilica of San Lorenzo, one of the oldest churches in the city.
In Florence your stay for 2 nights will be at the 4 Star Atlantic Palace Hotel. The hotel is located in the heart of the city, the ideal place to spend a relaxing holiday or a profitable business stay in a refined environment, rich in history and tradition, which, at the same time, offers all the comforts of a state-of-the-art facility.
Next, it’s off to the floating city of Venice. Just 2.5 hours away by train, soak in the rolling Tuscan countryside, past rows of grapes standing to attention, and pretty, medieval hillside towns and villages telling the story of Italy’s history. Water meets art in Venice, a city made up of 118 islands, with an incredible array of museums and art galleries. Colonnaded squares, domes and arches can be seen while on a sleek motorboat or during a gondola ride that will carry visitors through the city’s main waterways. Sample the fresh seafood featured on every restaurant menu, or enjoy a piece of chocolate salami with a strong coffee.
Luxury, art and relaxation await you in the bright, airy spaces of the Liassidi Palace, a 4-star boutique hotel in the historic centre of Venice, situated in a rare peaceful spot within walking distance of Piazza San Marco. Inside the restored Gothic palazzo of ‘Zorzi dalle Colonne Storte‘ on the border between the Castello and San Marco districts, you’ll experience the romantic atmosphere of a former Venetian residence, its spacious rooms adorned with magnificent oil-on-canvas reproductions of the famous masterpieces that represent the essence of art history from the last century. The irrepressible charm of Venice endures in all its glory at the Liassidi Palace Hotel, ready to entice you with a dream holiday steeped in the art and music of the city.
