Venice is an unfathomable experience. This glorious city, built on an archipelago of more than 100 islands, traversed by 200 canals, spanned by 400 bridges, continues to rise above the waters of the lagoon and the flowing tide of visitors. With over 20 hotels, from the traditional favourites to smaller family-run discoveries, no one offers a wider choice than us. Our unique Kirker Guide Notes will lead you to some excellent restaurants off the beaten track.
