Hotel overlooks the Grand Canal and has majestic views of the Church of Santa
Maria della Salute and the island of San Giorgio and it is just next to Cà
Giustinian the historical site of the Biennale. It is a romantic backdrop for an
unforgettable holiday. View

Basilica della Salute, the tip of the Dogana, the Island of San Giorgio and the
Church of the Redentore are the scene of a dream come true.
From 1638 the building, originally belonging to the Dandolo family, hosted the
first "Ridotto Pubblico", a place to which nobility and people from all walks of
life, (adventurers, courtesans, swindlers, and travelers) would retire for
pleasure and intrigue. Giacomo Casanova considered this place the ideal backdrop
for his conquests.
The recent restoration has managed to revive, with a contemporary feel, the
atmosphere of this historic building.
