"You arrive to San Clemente the way you wish to—but don't always—arrive everywhere in Venice: by boat. The hotel is on its own island, and the site of the old buildings (a former hospital-turned-hotel) as you approach feels glamorous. Bonus: The private island feels immediately calm compared to the crush of central Venice where you catch the boat. This is a true resort: You could spend five days here and never leave. There are six restaurants and bars altogether, from poolside lunch spots to terraces serving afternoon spritzes (an absolute must, regardless of price tag). Food is decent Italian—you won't eat badly at all. For families it's perfect because the kids can actually run around." - CNT Editors
