Nine suites make up the refuge that is Capella Lodge. Beach-shack vibes, chic interiors and unfathomably, incredible views make this the paradise that it is. Treat yourself to a stay in the Makambo Loft, where a heated plunge pool overlooks Mount Gower and Lidgbird. 

We get it, you may just want to call in to the Lineadombra for the views, though the food is also equally sensational. Idle over a slow lunch, vino in hand, looking out onto the lapping Venetian lagoon; with the Giudecca in plain sight this is really the Italian dream. 

Order an Aperol Spritz on the terrace and enjoy front-row views of the Grand Canal and the beautiful domed Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute. Once the sun has gone down, move inside and wonder at the opulent interiors. 

A trip to Venice is not truly complete without a visit to the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, located in the former home of heiress and art collector Peggy Guggenheim at the Palazzo Venier dei Leoni. A museum devoted to modern art, the well curated collection showcases works by up to 200 artists, including her ex-husband Max Ernst and of many rumoured lovers. Read the book about Peggy before your visit, it is sure to entertain!
