La Bella Vita - Barging in Italy

La Bella Vita (the beautiful life), a luxury 20-passenger hotel barge, offers a very special cruise along some of Italy’s most charming waterways between Venice and the Renaissance city of Mantua. She has been refitted to very exacting standards and will begin chartering in April 2011.
