Venice’s Historic Regatta takes place on 7 September this year. The city comes to a standstill save for its canals, crammed with 13th century boats and its banks, bursting with spectators. There are four separate competitions, the most exciting of which is that of the double-oared gondolas.
One possibility to enjoy the action and to stay in luxury is the Hotel Monaco & Grand Canal, one of the city’s most sought-after hotels, situated on the banks of the Grand Canal. A former 17th century Palazzo, it has a classic, composed elegance, and a restaurant that’s very popular with the Venetians.
A three-night stay is from £790 pp (two sharing) including BA flights from London to Venice and accommodation with breakfast. Private water taxi transfers can be arranged at a supplement. Call Sunvil on 020 8758 4747visit www.sunvil.co.uk.
