Wanting Summer: Why Choose a Houseboat Holiday

Summer is knocking at the door, bringing with it that thrill of anticipation for the radiant days ahead. It is the time when the sky is painted an endless blue and the desire to escape becomes an irresistible lure. But this year, why not be tempted by something different, something truly extraordinary? Imagine plying the serene waters of Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia aboard a houseboat, on a journey that combines adventure, nature and culture. Discover with us the surprising advantages of a summer holiday on a houseboat, a choice that will turn your summer into an unforgettable experience.

Houseboat Holiday or Boat Holiday?

Choosing a houseboat holiday over a traditional sailing or motor boat means opting for a more relaxing and accessible sailing experience for everyone. Far removed from the technical challenges and worries that often accompany traditional sailing, houseboats offer stability, ease of manoeuvre and comfort similar to home.

Imagine waking up with sunlight filtering softly through the windows as your houseboat lulls placidly on the calm waters. Unlike sailboats or yachts, which require specialised knowledge and constant crew work, the houseboat is designed to be easy to manoeuvre, even for those with little or no sailing experience. Its large size and stability offer a feeling of safety and serenity, allowing you to enjoy the journey without the stress of waves or wind.

Houseboats are designed for maximum comfort and liveability, with spacious and well-organised interior spaces equipped with all the conveniences of a modern home, including a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable sleeping cabins and spacious bathrooms. Unlike traditional boats, where space is often limited and comforts are kept to a minimum, on a houseboat you have the freedom to move around and live in a space that truly feels like a home, with the addition of outdoor terraces for alfresco dining or simply enjoying the view.

You can spend your days reading a book in peace, sunbathing on the deck, or taking a dip in the cool waters whenever you feel like it, all with the assurance of having a comfortable and safe space to return to.

Houseboat Holiday or Holiday Village?

A houseboat holiday, unlike the standard holiday village, offers an unparalleled degree of freedom and customisation. While a holiday village may offer comfort and organised activities, you often find yourself in a crowded and inflexible environment with little room for personal exploration. With your houseboat, on the other hand, you will always have the freedom to decide your own itinerary and activities each day, far from routine and monotony. Every day is a new discovery, but with all the comforts of a modern home: the houseboat offers you the opportunity to enjoy your holiday at your own pace, without the schedules and restrictions typical of holiday villages.

What's more, aboard a houseboat, privacy is guaranteed. You will not have to share the pool or dining room with hundreds of other guests; your space is completely yours and your fellow travellers'. This allows not only a more intimate and relaxing holiday but also the possibility to create unique and personal memories with your family or friends.

A houseboat holiday therefore combines the excitement of exploration with the comfort and tranquillity of a home, offering a truly unique holiday experience, away from the masses and close to the nature and culture of the place you are visiting.

Houseboat Holiday or Beach Holiday?

A houseboat holiday is a fascinating and unique alternative to the classic beach holiday. Beaches undoubtedly have their charm, but often, especially in the middle of summer, they can also be synonymous with crowds, intense heat and sand everywhere. On the contrary, a houseboat allows you to enjoy the beauty and relaxation of the sea without giving up a day at the beach! During a houseboat holiday, in fact, you will be able to bathe in all the resorts of the Upper Adriatic, on a different beach every day, without having to fight for a place on the beach or face the hordes of tourists looking for a corner of sand.

Moreover, in the evening, when you return from your day at the beach, the houseboat becomes your private retreat, where you can relax on the terrace, enjoying the sea breeze and a breathtaking sunset. It is ideal for those seeking a holiday that combines adventure and tranquillity, allowing you to experience the sea in a more intimate and personal way.

Houseboat Holiday or Monumental City Holiday?

Explore the art cities of Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia from a unique perspective: that of water. On board your houseboat, you will experience the thrill of discovering Venice and its wonders far from the tourist hustle and bustle, in an atmosphere of peace and tranquillity. Sail without suffering the summer heat, cradled by the sea breeze during the day and cooled by the water at night, far from the queues, the crowds and mass tourism.

Not to mention the price: considering that our houseboats range from 1 to 4 double cabins, they can comfortably accommodate 2 to 8 people. If you compare the costs with those of a hotel in a renowned tourist resort for the same period and number of people, you will discover that a houseboat holiday is not only cheaper, but also offers higher quality. Imagine sharing the beauty of Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia with your family or friends in an exclusive and relaxing environment.

A houseboat holiday is a unique way to experience summer. It offers not only freedom, comfort and scenic beauty, but is also a cost-effective choice. Pack your bags and allow yourself to be lulled by the calm waters of Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia for a summer holiday you won't forget.
