Luxury hotel with lagoon views, Michelin-starred dining, and Olympic pool
"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
"A hotel in Venice with a Star restaurant named Oro Restaurant." - 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."
"The intimacy of other area hotels is countered by the spaciousness of Belmond Hotel Cipriani, where every room has garden or water views. Those who prefer to sleep somewhere that’s at least four centuries old can head to its annex, set inside a 15th-century palace on Giudecca Island. From its prime position on the eastern tip of the island, it exudes an air of dolce vita–style glamour. Whether you pull up directly at the private dock, or hop on the hotel launch at Piazza San Marco for the journey across the lagoon, the super-attentive service, manicured greenery, and air of sophistication combine into a pampered world all its own. The list of facilities and services is staggering: central Venice’s only pool—and an Olympic-sized one, at that—a sumptuous spa, children’s activities, cooking classes, tailored tours and boat trips, gorgeous gardens, art classes, tennis courts, and more." - Sarah James, Anne Hanley
