Bargain Bragadin in Venice

Advantages: Well located and an excellent price
Disadvantages: Very hard to find and lack of facilities

We've been enjoying taking advantage of some very cheap budget flights recently and my girlfriend found us a couple of cheap seats to Venice (okay, Treviso, but it's only a bus ride away!) Having never been to Venice and having no idea of where to stay I needed to find a cheap hotel and found this place on Hotels.com/Expedia for around £45 a night. That's a cheap price as far as I'm concerned so I went ahead and booked, using a voucher for the booking site brought the cost down to £40 a night, a price I was certainly happy with. Hotel Background The hotel was opened in late 2008 and is located in the area of Castello. The building is a former palace, dating from 1362, but you won't find a lot of ancient features. They like to point out that Casanova has stayed at the palace in the past. The name 'Bragadin' is from the man who ...

Review of Ca' Bragadin Carabba Hotel, Venice

Venice the city of Sighs!

Advantages: Absolutely breath taking views around every corner.
Disadvantages: Very expensive packed during the day with day trippers.

erm probably due to the spiritual variety we actually got on the wrong train ending up in the middle of nowhere with little chance of getting home the right side of midnight. We actually got home at 2AM and had to be up for 4AM to check in for the first flight of the day to Venice. Panic galore trying to organise a taxi to take us to the airport we finally found a company that would pick us up at 05:15 which left ample time to get to the airport as its only a 15 minute drive away and having checked in and got the boarding card the day before we just had to go through security with no queues thankfully. After what was a fantastic flight to Venice with ample supplies of Champagne we arrived at Marco Polo international airport. Following which we had to get ourselves into Venice. From Venice airport there are a number of options to ...

Review of Venice (Italy)

Venus in Venice.

Advantages: Lively, interesting and different.
Disadvantages: A bit expensive

There is so much written about Venice so I thought I would write about the practical things which I thought about or affected me rather than an in depth history of any place or building I visited. If you are interested in visiting Venice I am sure you will have your favourite attractions. The guide books say there are about 400 bridges; they are not as tiring on the legs as you might imagine. There was a lack of children walking and in pushchairs and I had to resist the urge to help the workmen dragging, single handed, large boxes and allsorts on barrows up and down the stairs; that is part of their everyday life. In England it would be hard to imagine how people go about their daily life without cars, in Venice everything is moved by boat, the postal services, parcels, logs for building in fact all kinds of building materials ...
