Energise your stay with a super-healthy breakfast followed by a two-hour lesson in how to row like a Venetian gondolier. The experience begins in our secret garden restaurant. Choose from fresh juices and smoothies, detox bites and protein-rich dishes to boost your energy for the day. Next you will embark on a 'batea da fresco', a typical local craft, for your hands-on lesson in traditional Venetian rowing technique – standing up, facing forward and pushing the single oar anchored on a ‘forcola’ or rowlock. In this unique and wonderful experience, your instructor will guide you through Venice’s secret canals, away from the crowded routes, catching little-known views and places that have shaped the history of the city.
