However, a new secret destination is quickly becoming the new hideout for Venice’s most discerning traveller.
Set on the most beautiful and iconic canal in the world Palazzo Venart's luxury Hotel is a secret oasis within the busy melange of Venice’s historic Santa Croce quarter. New hotels are a rarity in Venice and only a handful can claim to be luxury lodging. Palazzo Venart may be the new kid on the block but its architecture and interior design are timeless and sophisticated as the city itself. Many hotels in Venice feel detached to their surroundings some encompassing entire islands. Palazzo Venart however harmoniously blends and integrates to the urban landscape of the Santa Croce quarter. It is discreet and only a small backdoor connects you with the Venetian streets.

云水之都(Palazzo Venart Luxury Hotel)坐落于优美的大运河旁,可以说他是威尼斯喧嚣的历史圣地圣十字区中的一片秘密绿洲。在威尼斯,很少出现全新的酒店,可以被称为豪华酒店的就更屈指可数。 或许云水之都在当地还是个新生儿,但其建筑本身和室内设计却和这座城市一样,生生不息,精致非凡。威尼斯的很多酒店都让人感觉与岛上的整体氛围格格不入,云水之都却完美地与圣十字区的城市景致和谐共融。它毫不张扬,只通过一个小小的后门带你通向威尼斯的无数街巷。
酒店距离中央车站乘车仅需五分钟,您可以乘座水上巴士抵达。最先映入眼帘的是这座宫殿优美的前庭花园,这在大运河畔十分罕见。随后进入充满艺术品和文物的大堂,如同置身一场时光穿梭之旅,全程伴有酒店优质的服务和友好温和的笑容。酒店共有18间风格装潢各具特色的客房,每一间客房都兼具古典与奢华,散发着旧世界意大利设计的迷人魅力,丰富的织物和古董家具延续威尼斯高雅的历史传统。然而浴室却极具现代奢华,配有浴缸和Etro洗护套装。大部分客房都可以欣赏到迷人的景致,但最壮观的是一些套房房型,可以直观大运河的魅力。
从宫殿的主楼走出去,你会看到木兰树茂密的花园,静心的泉水声潺潺,木兰花像蔓延在空气里,绝对是你惬意休息或阅读一本好书的完美之地。酒店同样提供丰富的早餐,一定要点一份这里著名的班尼迪克蛋,还有搭配了威尼托蜂蜜的Pecorino和Parmigiano奶酪。
云水之都优越的位置让你轻松探索小城的水域。毫无疑问,探索水城的最佳方式是水上巴士。酒店提供多条游船之旅和郊游路线。乘船不仅仅让你可以探索各个岛上的风景,欣赏优美海域,更可以带你远离威尼斯拥挤的街巷。从酒店的码头可以来一场私人游船之旅,蜿蜒行进大运河,最终抵达圣马克广场。傍晚你可以前往宏伟的哥特建筑总督宫,云水之都提供订票和游览服务。你将穿过一座并不光彩的拱桥,那是囚犯接受最终命运安排前能看到的最后的威尼斯。离开总督宫千万不要错过在著名的弗洛里安花神咖啡館(Caffè Florian)享受一杯Aperol Spritz。
云水之都的晚餐体验更会让你念念不忘。酒店GLAM餐厅的主厨Enrico Bartolini已摘下米其林二星。这家隐秘却璀璨的餐厅会为你带来威尼斯最令人兴奋的饕餮体验,其Tasting menu让你获得威尼斯美食所能带来的甜蜜和愉悦。套餐包括两道需要“动手”的开胃餐,如同玩弄调色板。主厨Bartolini特别设计了这一有趣独特的晚餐时刻。高级烹饪应该是既可以品尝也可以感受得到的。黑鱼籽坐在威尼斯最具标志性的交通工具 “松脆贡多拉”里,主厨的招牌菜甜菜根烩饭既美味又好看,整个用餐体验都是味觉和视觉的双重享受。
云水之都友好,热情,隐秘的服务是酒店的一大特点。你不仅仅感到宾至如归,短短的几分钟,或一通电话,服务人员就会前来解决你的任何问题。他们可以代客人购买门票,安排游船或进行其它预定。下榻云水之都的客人更可以享受威尼斯最佳餐厅和博物馆的优待,十分方便实用。
