"Set on the tip of Giudecca and just a 10‑minute shuttle ride from St. Mark’s, this beloved refuge feels a world apart: arrive to Il Porticciolo’s terrace where retro umbrellas flap in the lagoon breeze and plates of crab ravioli and excellent wood‑fired pizzas fly by. The scale is the magic—sprawling gardens, multiple outdoor bars and dining areas, a tennis court, and the city’s largest pool complete with cabanas—spread across a network of properties from the 15th‑century Palazzo Vendramin (with views to St. Mark’s) to a sleek main building facing the lagoon. A sensitive refresh by Peter Marino breathes new life into the interiors without losing the Dolce Vita glamour that has lured celebrities for decades, especially during the film festival. Classic for a reason, it’s the rare Venetian resort that truly lets you exhale." - Liam Hess

"Set within lush gardens at the tip of Giudecca Island, this iconic retreat feels like a secluded escape, with an Olympic-sized swimming pool and a private boat service whisking guests to St. Mark's Square. The exclusive island setting, which also hosts the MICHELIN-starred Oro Restaurant, particularly appeals to privacy-seeking VIPs who want resort-style amenities combined with easy access to Venice’s historic center." - The MICHELIN Guide

"Although Giudecca island is part of the Dorsoduro sestiere in administrative terms, it’s natural to think of it as a separate entity in itself. Long an industrial and working-class suburb, Giudecca is a peaceful oasis from which visitors can observe the hordes of tourists swarming around St Mark’s Square and the Doge’s Palace with a certain aristocratic distance." - The MICHELIN Guide

"A renowned luxury hotel in Venice, providing exceptional service and accommodations, part of the Belmond collection."
