Founded in 1936 this is a cosy wine bar with an extensive wine list. Order a glass of wine, or two, along with some yummy "ombre e cicchetti" and settle in for the afternoon, or for the evening. 

A truly sumptuous intimate hotel with old-world charm & impeccable service. Situated in the former Palazzo Papadopoli perched at the edge of a canal, the rooftop bar is one of the prettiest to view a sunset in the city. 

Dating back from 1792, La Fenice is an opera house rich in history and tradition. Take in the splendid architecture, and grand interior based on Aldo Rossi's designs. 

It will be hard to enter into this boutique and not want to suddenly fill your home with Chiarastella Cattana's textiles, be warned! The studio, based within a 17th century Venetian home, is tranquil, calm, and filled with experimental weavings of different threads, colour samples, and test pieces.
