Hotel Review

This endearing private hotel (the owner is a collector: everywhere are porcelain teapots, corkscrews, crucifixes, fans and much more) is a canny choice in winter, when the velvet-hung salone, its table heaped with cakes at tea-time, is at its most inviting; and in summer, when the shady garden comes into its own. Bedrooms are mainly traditional, some marvellously lavish. A characterful hotel that keeps up with the times with its chic Zodiac Bar and superb Met Restaurant: the only one in Venice with a Michelin star.

Venice's palazzo hotels

"while the top-end suites may feature mother-of-pearl mosaics and damask bedspreads, the staff parade around in designer black suits and the chef has won two Michelin stars for the restaurant, this is still a quirky, intriguing place to stay."
