  • The fascinating and little-known island of San Servolo, sits in the Venetian lagoon. Reached by vaporetto (half-hourly/hourly water bus) from San Zaccaria, it is the perfect place for a peaceful escape. Four of the island’s five hectars are beautiful gardens and it houses ancient 7th/8th century Benedictine settlements and the current buildings of the Province of Venice – perfect for an afternoon spent exploring. The island is home to the Venice International University and only academics, students or those visiting for a conference may stay overnight, but it is still a delightful getaway day trip.
