Once the site of the ancient monastery of the Camaldolesi order, the San Clemente Palace occupies its own richly historical 17-acre island. Gamely restoring the original building, the hotel’ s present owners have fashioned an interior more extravagant than any Camaldolesi monk could have ever visualised! Intonations of red and white colour elucidate the immense panels of decadent gold fabrics upholstering the resplendent hallways of the hotel. The regal effect created is intensified by beautiful Venetian glass chandeliers and marble paving.

The guest rooms are as opulent as the rest of the hotel, characterised by reproduction antiques and heavy silks together with bathrooms that are a mass of marble and chrome. A fine selection of Italian fare is assured by the hotel’ s restaurants offering formal and more relaxed dining. Kick-off your evening by an aperitif in the chic Gli Specchi commanding magnificent views over the lagoon and let yourself be swept away by the magic of Venice.

For guests seeking some respite from the Venetian crowds, go no further than the hotel’ s own indoor spa for a plethora of pampering.
