The history of the town comes from the far and mysterious past of a civilization born and bread by the Sea.
​The tradition is that when the barbarians invaded the North of Italy, the inhabitants escaped on the islands of the lagoon of Venice, creating the Republic of the Serenissima. The islands of Chioggia and Sottomarina were the 11th and 12th islands of the Confederation of the 12 islands of the lagoon.

La storia della città è legata a quella di Venezia dai suoi esordi, quando gli abitanti delle isole aderirono alla Repubblica della Serenissima.

​Chioggia e Sottomarina divennero così l'XI e la XII isola della
Confederazione  delle 12 isole della laguna. 


During the 15th century Venice fortified the lagoon with forts to defend her islands.

Sottomarina's fort is called St. Felice and in summer it is possible to explore it!

Every first Saturday of the month the city organizes excursion to discover its walls and chambers..


Durante il XV secolo Venezia fortifica la laguna con roccaforti per difendere le sue isole.

Il forte
​S. Felice di Sottomarina è a tutt'oggi visitabile!

Durante l'estate la città organizza organizza escursioni per scoprire le bellezze nascoste della fortezza!

​In the June Medieval festival every year the city of Chioggia re-lives the War of Chioggia, when Genova and Venice fought for the dominion of the Sea (1379/80). 
Picture

Although the town remained largely autonomous, it was always thereafter subordinate to Venice, whose influence is visible in the art and architecture of the city. 
Picture
Beautiful memory of the great past of the city, other than its churches and canals, is the Clock Tower of St. Andrea, the oldest in the World

​It was built in the same year of Salisbury clock, 1386, and from its top you can enjoy a unique view of the bridges and the palaces of the lagoon.

Few travel experiences hold the inspiring mystique as exploring the underwater reefs.

Not only are reefs colorful and beautiful, but they’re also rather diverse ecosystems.

​Although there are stunning reefs growing all over the world, just out of Venice, in front of Chioggia island there is a unique Adriatic reef.
 


 The TEGNUE of the Adriatic Sea are a unique reef formed 7000 years ago right in front of Chioggia and Sottomarina. 

A various and colorful number of sea creatures live right under the sea, and they are easily visible and reachable to divers in a safe and protected environment

These underwater structures make the Mediterranean islands of Venice even more enticing to explore.


Piero Mescalchin and his association have taken care of this treasure, a piece of Caribbean in the heart of the Mediterrenean sea


Diving clubs organize trips to discover the Venetian Underworld, the reef and the relict of sunken ships...

​ they are easy to contact, and if you need help do not hesitate to ask me

​
If you like to discover Italy moving on water there is a route that will take you to the secret landscapes of the Venice region.. 

Picture
In the region of Venice, facing the Riviera of the Brenta there are the renown Venetian Villas, beautiful 15th-18th century palaces built as summer residences by the local aristocracy.



In past artists, architects, poets have come to appreciate the Villas and were charmed by them. Famous aristocratic houses such as Chiswick House and mansions like the White House were inspired by the Venetian Villas.


Spring is the ideal season to visit these romantic palaces, rest in their blooming parks, loose yourself in the labyrinths and be amazed by the frescoed rooms.

Some of the Venetian Villas face the Brenta river between Venice and Padua.
​
​By navigating on the waters it is possible to reach the palaces

The smell of roasted chestnuts,
the sweet taste of the Chioggia famous pumpkin,
the shadows of the alleys of the city,
the sparkles of the wine glass on the lagoon,
the glimmer of the sun on the November sea

After the thrills, I love a bit of relax with the fisherman of Chioggia..

I spent an amazing day with a fisherman and his boat.
​He showed me the secret spots of the lagoon, brought me to fish
 mackerel, sea bream and much more..

The city offers rather unique and genuine ways to experience the sealife.

You can go fishing on fishermen's boats in the lagoon and in the sea!

A very nice and kind fisherman picked me up at home and hosted me on his boat for the whole day, he showed me the secret corners of the lagoon, and took me to fish sgombri (mackerel), orate (sea bream), and Palamita (Atlantic bonito- large mackarel-)

I am not much of a fishermen really, and the fisherman was very patient with me :)
 it was an amazing experience to try the real Venetian sealife..
.
​
there are several fishermen that do that and they can take you out even at night time!

What I plan to do next is to try the famous Kayak in the lagoon: a rather healthy and original way to be embraced by the Venetian waters and
to enjoy a new prospective on the islands of Chioggia and Sottomarina!

2018 is waiting for us with joy and surprises..

2/1/2018

We are making plans for 2018 and we are going over the beautiful time we have spent with our guests since the beginning of our adventure three years ago..

Neither of us had any idea of what was going to happen and the amazing and fun experience we were going to share with the travellers, the stories we were going to hear, the unexpected events we were going to face!

We decided to open our home to the world, and the world has showed us its most beautiful sides.. one of them were Marc and his family and their passion for music…

Wishing you all a happy 2018 we want to share with you this beautiful moment of our year, to warm your heart with memories from the summer!

Iniziando a progettare il 2018, abbiamo guardato al tempo trascorso dall'inizio della nostra avventura 3 anni fa..


Nessuna di noi aveva idea di cosa sarebbe successo, le bellissime avventure che avremmo condiviso con i nostri ospiti, le storie che avremmo sentito, gli eventi improbabili che avremmo affrontato!


Abbiamo deciso di aprire la nostra casa al mondo e il mondo ci ha mostrato il suo lato migliore.. uno di questi era Marc, la sua famiglia e la loro passione per la musica..


Augurando a tutti un felice 2018 vogliamo condividere uno dei momenti più belli dell'anno passato, per riscaldare i vostri cuori con i ricordi dell'estate!
