18th-century palace on the Grand Canal, private garden and contemporary art collection: collector's Venice.
Palazzo Venart Luxury Hotel
From
1,375.25 €
“1 000 m² garden overlooking the Grand Canal, rarissime in the Venetian historic centre.”
The Palazzo Venart Luxury Hotel occupies an 18th-century palace in Santa Croce, between the Rialto and Santa Lucia station. There are just nine suites, restored period frescoes, Venetian furniture and contemporary artworks hung in the lounges. The private 1 000 m² garden descends to the Grand Canal, with shaded terrace and views of the palaces opposite. The gastronomic table GLAM Enrico Bartolini (one Michelin star) serves contemporary Italian cuisine in a vaulted ground-floor room. Service is attentive without being stuffy, the team knows names and anticipates requests. From 1 375 € per night, it is one of Venice's priciest addresses, but the Booking score of 9,7/10 from 162 reviews reflects flawless execution. We recommend it for a stay seeking the intimacy of a private house rather than the buzz of a grand palace ✨
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend the Palazzo Venart to forty-something couples and older seeking the intimacy of a confidential address rather than the buzz of a grand hotel. It is a house for contemporary art lovers, intimate gourmet dinners, long stays where one settles into routines. Travellers wanting to be at the heart of San Marco will prefer a more central address, here we are ten minutes' walk from the Rialto, in a quiet residential neighbourhood.
The building
Architecture and interiors
The Palazzo Venart dates from the 18th century, ochre façade on the Grand Canal, classic Venetian architecture with mullioned windows and wrought-iron balconies. Interiors restored in 2014: period frescoes on the ceilings, Venetian terrazzo floors, antique furniture from local dealers mingled with contemporary pieces. Nine suites spread over three floors, generous volumes with 4-metre ceilings, Carrara marble bathrooms. The garden occupies the full depth of the plot, rare privilege in intra-muros Venice.
