Rooms
Rooms are classified in 4 different types:
- The Nobles: these elegant, refined rooms hark back to the sumptuous, refined style of the houses of the Venetian nobility
- The Doges: rooms where one can still breathe the rich austerity of the times when the doges were at the height of power in Venice.
- The Merchants: precious fabrics, elegant accessories and sumptuous furnishings express all the magnificence, eclecticism and wealth of the trade with the Orient.
- The Navigators: these cool, sober, sensible rooms were inspired by the sea-farers who set sail in search of themselves and, having faced every challenge, eagerly returned to the comforts and security of home.
For couples wanting to be very close to Venice for shopping, sightseeing and eating yet enjoy some privacy and exclusivity this is the perfect location. The minute you step off the boat you will be transported into a world of beauty and romance.
