Housed within a renovated 16th-century convent built by famous Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio, this boutique property on the island of Giudecca is about 10 minutes from St. Mark’s by solar-powered launch. The hotel comprises 50 rooms and suites featuring original tapestries, period furniture and wrought-iron headboards. Some come with whirlpool tubs and separate showers. Memorable views of St. Mark’s and Doge’s Palace, however, are confined to a few rooms such as the seven doubles on the second floor and Junior Suite #127. A restaurant overlooks a private garden, and a spacious and beautifully decorated spa contains a relaxation area with lagoon views, eight treatment rooms, a gym and a Turkish hammam. The property is closed November to March.
The hotel offers fascinating walking tours of four restored gardens, located behind the 16th-century Zitelle complex on Giudecca.
Lowest Rate: Double Room, $380; Editor’s Choice: Junior Suite Lagoon View, $780.
