Ca' di Dio Botanical Experience at Ca'di Dio Hotel | VRetreats

Le intime calli e il luccichio dei canali veneziani sono l&rsquo;inconfondibile cornice in cui si incastona Ca&rsquo; di Dio. Sospesa a met&agrave; tra la Venezia classica e maestosa di Piazza San Marco e l&rsquo;anima artistica della Zona Arsenale, la dimora storica &egrave; il luogo dove vivere l&rsquo;autentico splendore veneziano.

Labirinto d&rsquo;acqua e luce, Venezia incanta con calli, palazzi e riflessi dorati sul Canal Grande. Il nostro hotel sulla laguna svela il suo volto pi&ugrave; autentico, fra design, tradizioni e sapori di mare.

VENEZIA

ca-di-dio

Un luogo dove vivere l&#39;incanto veneziano, con uno sguardo privilegiato sui segreti della citt&agrave; lagunare.

CA' DI DIO

This tour is dedicated to the preservation of the traditional Venetian&nbsp;cultura acquea&nbsp;and at its center, the voga alla veneta, the Venetian style of rowing: standing up, facing forward, native to Venice and made iconic by the gondoliers. Row like a Venetian! Get off the beaten path and onto the Venetian waterways in our beautiful bateline and try it yourself!

This experience begins with a boat transfer from the hotel to Cannaregio, the district north of Venice full of Venetian attractions and traditional bacari. Here, aboard a beautiful batelina, you will begin to become familiar with the boat and the oar, first starting to practice with the boat stationary and then venture along the canals, once you&rsquo;ve become comfortable behind a Venetian oar, why not use it to go somewhere? And what better destination than a local b&agrave;caro&hellip;or two!

Rowing Lessons in Cannaregio

Cannaregio

If there&rsquo;s anything more enjoyable the learning to row Venetian style, it&rsquo;s combine it with a &ldquo;cicchetti&rdquo; tasting with Spritz&hellip;An assortment of typical&nbsp;cicchetti&nbsp;and accompanying wines at Venice&rsquo;s traditional b&agrave;cari is the perfect intro to the tastes of Venice without committing to a whole meal. Being accompanied by a b&agrave;caro devot&egrave;e means you might venture Venetian classics like&nbsp;piovra&nbsp;octopus, fluffy white&nbsp;b&agrave;cala mantecato&nbsp;(cooked codfish whipped with olive oil) 
on polenta, a savory hot polpetta meat or tuna croquet, or a speck, robiolo e tartufo crostino&hellip;when you otherwise might pass them by.

Tasting of cicchetti and local wines

Cannaregio | Canale della Misericordia

&ldquo;Bacaro&rdquo; is the term Venetians use for bars, those bars that offer the typical Venetian aperitif with an &ldquo;ombra&rdquo; (small glass of wine) and a &ldquo;cicchetto&rdquo; (something typical to eat). Venetians love to take a bit of time after work to enjoy the &ldquo;happy hour&rdquo; near the canal, with a glass of wine or maybe a spritz.

The very first reason why you should try a Bacaro is that is a way to meet locals and have fun with them. A bacaro is a place where people meet to spend a nice couple of hours together, which is something you might want to do too, during your holiday time.
