A tavern, come wine shop, the Cantina Schiavi is the perfect place to go to buy a bottle of wine, or to enjoy a glass by the canals. There are no seats, so be prepared to enjoy your wine and accompanying tapas standing, embracing the historical Venetian style! Also note, this tavern closes in the winter seasons. 

Proudly serving the freshest ingredients, this intimate enoteca not only prizes itself on its wonderful culinary delights but, also in its cultivated collection of wine. With a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere it is clear that the food is made with passion and love. We recommend going for a light lunch and sitting on one of the few tables overlooking the canal. This is Venice at its finest. 

Overlooking the Grand Canal is this contemporary art museum exhibiting the provocative art collection of French billionaire, François Pinault. Though it is the striking interior architecture by Tadoa Ando that steals the show. Check out their website for any ongoing exhibitions.

Designed by Philippe Starck, Palazzina Grassi is a fabulous boutique hotel with striking interior design and stunning views of the Grand Hotel. Noted as the 'most glamorous' place to party, stay, and relax this hotel is luxurious in every way possible.
