Top Italian Hotels & Resorts 2024

p a l a c e The private landing opens onto a small garden on the water where some treasures of Roman art, coming from the nearby archaeological site of Altino, coexist with modern artworks, while the access on the opposite side welcomes guests with another secret garden shaded by an imposing magnolia. Palazzo Venart owes its name to the crasis between Venice and Art, a crasis that is also a perfect synthesis of a place restored to its former glory in 2016 by the visionary passion of a Taiwanese tycoon in love with Italy. The palace in the past has hosted illustrious personalities and has been a meeting place for the social and cultural life of the Venetian society. The Renaissance frescoes, the precious marble staircase and the high gold-leaf painted ceilings have returned to their former glory, but with a contemporary reinterpretation of spaces and comfort. The 17 rooms, each one with a different theme, pay homage to the thousand-year history of the city with works of art and antique furnishings in harmonious contrast with elements of contemporary style. Despite being surrounded by history and art you live the experience of an elegant present, while refined olfactory notes discreetly accompany guests in every room. The Glam Restaurant, unique with 2 Michelin stars shining in Venice, welcomes guests in an intimate and refined setting overlooking the secret garden. The flavours of tradition and the enhancement of raw materials - selected from the rare Venetian gardens and the historic fish market of Rialto - are combined with the mastery of chef Ascani, that winks at those oriental flavours that have always been an integral part of Venetian cuisine. The impeccable welcome, the discreet staff, always attentive to the needs of guests, together with the starred cuisine, make the Palazzo Venart a destination to discover and a must-see, even for the most demanding travellers.
