Set on the beautiful Giudecca Island, away from the hustle and bustle of central Venice, Belmond's Hotel Cipriani has all the romance and allure of Renaissance Italy. Overlooking the shimmering lagoon towards famous St. Mark’s Square, this 5-star hotel offers guests the chance to experience a discreet, more demure side of Venice.
This private-island resort sits in the middle of the Venetian Lagoon, 20 minutes by complimentary shuttle boat from St Mark’s Square. It’s perfect, therefore, if you’re looking to escape the crowds that fill Venice in high season, or as a base for exploring the many other islands that lie scattered about the lagoon.
Just a 15-minute stroll from the Rialto Bridge, in the Arsenale district where the Biennale takes place, is the stylish, hip yet historically aware Ca' di Dio. As much a house as a hotel, Ca’ di Dio appeals to a young, design-conscious, international clientele, and challenges the perception of Venice hotels all being living museums packed with paintings, frescos and chandeliers.
