Step 1
Water - Venice is surrounded by water, introducing a water feature into your space is foundational to creating the perfect soothing environment.
-
Step 2
Music - Classical music is another must have in Venice, piping Andrea Bocelli's Con te Partiro or Romanza through your retreat will transport you to another time and space. (Please click Romanza and Con te Partiro in resources to listen to the songs)
-
Step 3
Fragrance - Venice is known for its tantalizing scents wafting through the air. Add to the ambiance by bringing flowers, herbs, or essential oils such as the calming fragrant aroma of Lavender and Chamomile into your retreat
-
Step 4
Lighting - Venice is known for romanticism, what is more romantic than dim lights or candle lights.
-
Step 5
Art - if you have the wall space either indoors or outdoors, painting or hanging a mural on the wall will anchor your Venetian vacation.
-
Step 6
Relax - sip a cup of iced coffee and let summertime wash over you, as you indulge in your Venetian vacation ... at home!
