The hotel is perched on the heights of Monte Mario, boasting 15 acres of grounds and spectacular views of the city below. Guests are whisked to the city center by the hotel's free shuttle bus, which leaves every hour. The hotel's stellar services, however, will tempt you into spending the day luxuriating at the Grand Spa Club (one of the best spas in Italy), lounging in the manicured gardens or admiring the hotel's collection of over 1000 antique tapestries, paintings, and sculptures – including three famous Tiepolo's. The hotel is also the place where you'll find La Pergola, Rome's only three Michelin star restaurant.

End Your Excursion in Venice, Italy 

Venice is as magical as imagined and a weekend isn’t nearly enough. Still, two days are enough to give you a lifetime of memories.Taking the train to Venice from Rome is a fun ride that takes approximately 3 hours and 45 minutes. It’s a comfortable ride and the view from the window is worth the scenic journey through the heart of Italy.

Venice-Italy_Oceania-Cruises

Venice is also known as the floating city, made up of 118 small islands with more than 400 bridges over its canals.Surprisingly, while most people think wood to be much less durable than metal and stone, foundations built by wooden stakes were used in the early buildings in Venice. When wood is submerged in water, it is not subjected to the decay caused by microorganisms like fungi and bacteria. Over time, the saltwater petrifies the wood into a hardened structure more like a stone. Venice features architecture dating back to the middle of the first millennium A.D. In 10th century B.C., the name Venice was given from the ancient Veneti people who inhabited the region. In 1866, it became part of the kingdom of Italy.

Montecito Village Travel has roughly 500  travel agents worldwide, and they wisely and highly recommend the delightful luxurious Ca’ Sagredo Hotel. The name means house of the Sagredo noble family, which lived in this grand luxury hotel in the 18th century. Chiara Depellegrin, the reservations manager, gives a delightful tour of the hotel. Original frescos by Pietro Longhi on the walls, and ceilings are among many treasures inside the hotel, which is considered a national museum.

Outside of the main suite, entrances are exhibits and descriptions of the artworks are on the walls. The common areas are magnificent with artwork symbolizing historical events. A circa 1720 Biblioteca, the Sagredos’ private library, was converted into a guest bedroom, complete with bookshelves intact. Legend has it that Galileo Galilei wrote inside this library.

On a voyage with Oceania Cruises, each day offers the exciting opportunity to experience the history, culture, art and cuisine of a wondrous new destination.
