There are endless exciting things to do in Venice, and at Cipriani we’ll help you uncover the very best of the city. Speak to our concierge and embark on a journey of discovery to uncover hidden archives, private palaces, ancient craftsmanship and more.
Edipo Re
Start planning your ‘villeggiatura’ — an intrinsic Italian concept all about slow, sensuous summers.
Set sail into the Venetian lagoon aboard Edipo Re, the beautiful boat on which opera diva Maria Callas and film director Pier Paolo Pasolini fell in love.
The elegant 16m motor sailing yacht is ideal for exploring the lagoon’s lesser-known corners such as Torcello, with its seventh-century cathedral and shimmering Byzantine mosaics, and Pellestrina, a narrow sliver of land barely 200 meters wide.
After exploring, return to the deck for dinner, cocktails or canapés, or a tasting of exquisite local produce such as caparossoli clams or Venetian soft shell crab.

Serene Cycling
Savour the sweet life at a gentle pace with a slow bike ride along the sandbars of Lio Piccolo or on Sant’Erasmo island. The island is known as the green heart of Venice and provides a natural paradise for Barena Honey bees.
Visit the beehives, owned by a local family and end the tour at il Miele del Doge where you’ll sample delicious local products. Alternatively, head to a local farm for a relaxing pony ride across the island.
Then, pause for a refined picnic by a Venetian barene and admire the lagoon views.
