Venice for Valentines

With Valentine's Day only a month away, here is an offer which will leave you in a win-win situation with both your beloved and your bank balance.Venice City Breaks always features in the top 10 for a romantic getaway and this one includes a centrally placed 4 star hotel from £199 per person bed and breakfast for 3 nights including flights from Gatwick on the morning of the 14 February.

February in Venice is one of the less busy times for this popular city break.  A Vaporetti [water bus] ride the length of the Grand Canal is a good way of getting an idea of the layoung of the city it it is unfamiliar to you.  Away from the obvious sights, stroll around the less touristy areas such as "The Ghetto", a fascinating Jewish enclave with a central square enclosed by tall houses.  The nearby church of Madonna dell'Orto is packed with Tintorettos. 

The 4 star
Malipiero Hotel is situated between St Mark's Square and the Rialto and dates back to 1484, having been a Doge's palace in its former life.  Its exuberant Venetian-style interiors include ceiling frescoes, stained glass chandeliers and luxuriant soft furnishings.  There is a restaurant and a host of modern facilities.
