Gothic goes pop at this palace, whose stately Veneto-Byzantine exterior disguises a colourful wild streak. Designer Gianmarco Cavagnino serves up 22 brightly striped, harem-styled suites named after Turkish princesses. Pedestal tables flank baroque beds fit for pashas, and Jacuzzis soothe frazzled darlings in the deluxe rooms.
