Venetian Gardens

Product Information

The first major settlement of Venice and a seat of power until the 13th century, this island's wistful, neglected air once inspired the likes of Ernest Hemingway and Harold Pinter. A canal path winds from the landing stage, past smallholdings and tiny boats used by the island's handful of inhabitants. The main sights are clustered around the overgrown main square, including the Museo di Torcello and cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, renowned for its vivid Byzantine mosaics, but also worth a look for the quirky collection of statues gathering weeds in the grounds. Climb the bell tower for views over island and lagoon. Afterwards, you could follow Hemingway and lunch in the garden at the exclusive Locanda Cipriani. Its classic Italian menu using local ingredients in dishes such as beef carpaccio and risotto of zucchini, aubergines, peppers and wild herbs. If your budget doesn't stretch to €75 a head (three courses excluding wine), try Villa '600, a restaurant with a homely interior, terrace and lawn. You can enjoy a plate of homemade pasta here for about €9. The first stop I want to recommend is the Giardini della Biennale, also known as the Napoleonic Gardens. The gardens are located in the Castello district and represent the largest green area in the historic center of Venice. As the name suggests, the area is one of the venues of the International Art Exhibition, better known as the Biennale. We thoroughly enjoyed walking the trails and crossing over the numerous bridges onto the islands in the sunshine.

Tours are available nearly every day, and available to fit most schedules. The Savorgnan gardens are located in the Cannaregio district and represent one of the most spacious green areas in the city. The public park is a clear example of the many gardens that overlooked the Rio di Cannaregio in the 1600s. Few world cities hold the romance and historical sweep of Venice. Thousands visit every year - and a mixture of crowds and climate leave it vulnerable, so much so it is often said to be in danger of sinking - but away from the usual tourist haunts around St. Mark's square are exceptional hidden treasures, some 500 gardens, many of them with fascinating stories. At 4.5km, Sant'Erasmo is as long as the city of Venice itself yet only 1km at its widest point. For centuries it has supplied the city with fresh fruit and vegetables, and today its 750 inhabitants are mostly farmers who sell produce such as carciofi violetti (purple artichokes), asparagus and crunchy cardoons directly to Venice's restaurants and markets. A holiday resort until the late 18th century, Sant'Erasmo still feels like you've escaped to the country. Venetian families moor their boats and picnic on the sandy beach, where you can rent kayaks for exploring the lagoon and the monastery on the nearby island of San Francesco del Deserto. Bicycles can be rented from Il Lato Azzurro, a small hotel near the beach that offers the only accommodation on the island. It has newly refurbished bright, comfortable rooms, and a restaurant (one of only three on the island) serving local produce. Cycle the coastal path that runs along the south of the island and you can spot the wading birds that frequent the marshy shoreline. Visiting the Cipriani Hotel’s baby brother, Locanda Cipriani, involves a longer sail to the island of Torcello, where you find yourself almost in the country. The garden is modern, vibrant with snap-dragons and bright roses; heady with scent and alive with birdsong – if you lunch there, add to this crisp white wine and delicious food and you’ll experience a multi-sense feast before returning to Venice as the setting sun gilds the lagoon.
