OLTRE Venice, Piano: Feel La Serenissima

Private gondola ride at sunset with violinist – OLTRE Venice, Piano by Istramore

In Venice, time doesn’t pass—it floats. OLTRE Venice, Piano is a private, one-day escape designed not for those who want to tick boxes, but for those who crave elegance without excess.

A City Revealed Slowly

Your day begins aboard a private water taxi, gliding silently across the lagoon as dawn casts soft hues over the city. Palazzi reflect like brushstrokes in rippling water. Gondoliers move with quiet precision. But soon, you slip away from the crowds and into Venice’s hidden heart.

Here, artisans work in tucked-away ateliers—glass masters shaping molten fire into delicate forms, bookbinders stitching leather spines as they have for centuries. These are not shops. They are sanctuaries of skill and soul.

Lunch Above the Lagoon

At midday, a table awaits on a private terrace. Below, gondolas drift past like silent poems. Above, Prosecco sparkles in crystal glasses. Here, simplicity is luxury—hand-rolled pasta, freshly caught sea bass, sunlight and conversation that stretch like the canals themselves.

Serenade al Tramonto
As the sun sinks, a gondola carries you through golden canals. A violinist plays softly—music that mingles with water and sky.

Keys to a Palazzo
Step inside a historic palazzo, where frescoes whisper of Doges and duchesses. End with an aperitivo in the courtyard, the past lingering like perfume.

Mask of Memories
In a local atelier, craft your own Venetian mask—a keepsake carrying the spirit of La Serenissima home with you.

As Night Falls

Your private water transfer returns as Venice’s lights flicker like lanterns. The lagoon reflects stars. Silence deepens. This is not Venice in a rush—it is Venice for those who feel.
