Luxury Venice Italy hotel, five stars

Hotel Palladio, Venice

This 5-star Venice hotel is situated on the southernmost island of Giudecca, where wealthy aristocrats of the early Renaissance Venice built their villas, and where today guests can enjoy the same high standards of style and comfort.

The secluded Palladio Hotel & Spa is perfect for anyone who fancies a relaxing break away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Originally built as a convent in 1500 by Andrea Palladio but now transformed into a modern luxury hotel, it has 37 elegant guest rooms and 13 spacious suites hung with beautiful tapestries and decorated in relaxing pastel colours. The rooms have their own Italian marble bathrooms and a full range of amenities including individually controlled air conditioning, satellite TV, minibar, direct-dial telephone and hairdryer.

This Venice accommodation has a pleasant garden bar, serving breakfast and snacks and drinks throughout the day. But for a truly memorable dining experience, guests are invited to take a five-minute boat trip across the lagoon to the award-winning restaurant, De Pisis at Bauer, where they can enjoy gourmet food on a beautiful terrace overlooking the Grand Canal.

At the Spa, guests will be able to enjoy a wide selection of complementary therapies and beauty treatments including massage and facials ... so you can return home looking and feeling on top of the world. But if you don't want to miss any of Venice's famous tourist attractions - such as a gondola ride or a visit to St Mark's Square - staff at this hotel in Venice (Venezia) will also help you book tickets and sightseeing trips.
