DESTINATIONS
Rome–Venice/Mestre from €900 per car in low season. Economy sedan for up to 3 passengers, one-way.

Leave whenever suits you: your chauffeur waits at your hotel or any address you choose, takes care of the luggage and welcomes you aboard a quiet sedan.
The motorway climbs the peninsula between the Apennines and the Veneto plain, past hills, vineyards and bell towers. One vehicle, no changes: you leave from your address in Rome and stop only where the road ends — at the edge of the lagoon.
Just before arrival, Venice's skyline appears suspended over the water. On request, a stop along the way — Padua and its basilica, or a glass of prosecco overlooking the vineyards — completes the day.
Venice is a pedestrian island: cars are not allowed in the historic centre. Your chauffeur crosses the Ponte della Libertà and takes you to Piazzale Roma (or Tronchetto), the last point reachable by car. From there your hotel is minutes away: water taxi, vaporetto or a short walk through the calli.
Alternatively we can drop you in Mestre, on the mainland: convenient if your hotel is there, with the historic centre about 10 minutes away by train or tram. State your preference when booking: the fare covers both destinations.
Stops can turn a transfer into a broader itinerary. The times are suggested visiting allowances and are agreed when the quote is prepared.

By car the journey takes about 5.5 hours door to door, measured between addresses rather than between stations: you leave from the address you give us and arrive at your destination, with no changes and no trips to and from stations. The train is often quicker on the station-to-station leg alone, and suits travellers with light luggage staying near the arrival station. The car suits larger groups, big luggage or children, addresses far from the stations, and journeys where you want to stop along the way. The actual distance depends on the addresses and on the route chosen: we confirm it in the quote, together with the price.
