Novecento

Top choice in Venice


Run by the Romanelli family for more than 50 years, this hotel is a home away from home. Nine individually designed rooms are inspired by designer Mario Fortuny and come finished with Turkish kilim pillows, velvet draperies and carved bedsteads. You can mingle with creative fellow travellers around the honesty bar, while the garden is a lovely spot in which to linger over breakfast.
