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. 

With only twelve rooms this boutique hotel is as romantic as it gets. There is no doubt that your stay here will be luxurious, and exceptionally comfortable what with the baroque style interiors, and carefully controlled lighting to create the perfect ambience.

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.
