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 on the typical boat Burchiello, spending a memorable day cruising in the Venice region.

November is the most fascinating month to experience the Venetian lagoon...
A foggy atmosphere embraces Chioggia, Sottomarina as well as Venice and the islands of the North lagoon. The islands become more mysterious and romantic, making visitors feel to be part of another magic world..

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

I am not much of a fishermen really, and the fisherman was very patient with me :)

there are several fishermen that do that and they can take you out even at night time!
