Hello Venice

Posted on August 16, 2018January 19, 2021 by Steph

8th July 2018

Day 1 of our holiday – we will stay in Venice for 3 nights, then get a train to Naples where we pick up a hire car and drive to the Cilento Coast.  I’m going to blog about each day separately – otherwise it would be one VERY long blog!

We arrived at Treviso Airport in the evening and purchased a ticket in the Airport for the AVTO Bus to take us to Piazzale Roma in Venice – you can also purchase a ticket as soon as you exit the airport – 12 euros each, and the bus was there waiting as soon as we exited the airport.  On arriving at the Piazzale Roma we walked to our hotel – didn’t take long – but there are a lot of steps to carry your suitcases up and down (well, in my case – for my lovely husband to carry up and down!).  We are amazed by Venice already – I was literally saying “wow” every time we turned a corner – I can’t wait to explore.

Our hotel is Ca San Polo in the centre of Venice in the San Polo district – it’s lovely, very
quaint and the guy that welcomed us was lovely and really helpful, showing us places go on the map and recommended a nice restaurant nearby.  We arrived  in the evening so literally unpacked really quickly and

The restaurant was called La Patatina and it was fabulous – the food was gorgeous, service was amazing and really friendly.  We both had baked sea bass and veg then for dessert I had Tiramisu, which was absolutely delicious.  Paul had Chocolate Pudding, which he assures me was also amazing, all accompanied by a lovely bottle of white and finished off with a delicious glass of limoncello.

We had a lovely evening at this restaurant – brilliant first night in Venice, chatted to a lovely couple on the next table and Paul was happy as the guy told him of a pub not far away that would have the football on a big screen – so that’s Wednesday evening sorted – watching England play football!
