With its gondolas, canals, amazing restaurants, and unforgettable romantic ambiance, Venice is definitely a city for one's bucket list. Waterfront palazzos, palaces, and churches make drifting down the Grand Canal feel like cruising through a painting. To really experience Venice you must go to the opera or to a classical music performance, nibble fresh pasta and pastries, and linger in the exhibit halls of an art gallery. Label lovers will drool over the high-end shopping in Piazza San Marco.

Giudecca is an island in the Venetian Lagoon, in northern Italy. It is part of the sestiere of Dorsoduro and is a locality of the comune of Venice.
Less than five minutes on a vaporetto and you can flee the maddening crowds of San Marco and find yourself on a little oasis of calm - with, arguably, the best ground level views in the whole city. Granted, there's not a lot of life on the island of Giudecca, but if you're pondering where to stay, heavily entertain the idea of being here. Not only is it peaceful, but you can sit at one of a number of cafes and restaurants eating a meal a few euros cheaper than on the 'main islands' and be perched about a foot (literally) from the lapping waters of the Giudecca canal (which means you too can gasp at the ridiculous size of the cruise ships as they make their slow progress too and from the terminal further up the canal). Your view? Across the canal to the main square...truly beautiful at night on a warm late summer's evening. In addition to a number of vaporetto stops, perhaps most crucially there's a supermarket which sells bottles of prosecco for 4 euros and limoncello for even less. Almost, on its own, worthy of making the trip.

An amazing tour of this palace. The Countess was so warm and friendly. She was very down to earth and a humble lady. I highly recommend this tour.
