From the property, the Ormesini and Misericordia canals allow quiet observation of the city’s daily rhythms, while the neighbourhood’s streets invite exploration and immersion in Venice’s authentic character.

The Junior Garden View Suite feels airy and expansive, with views of the inner garden lending a quiet sense of seclusion. Terrazzo or parquet floors and natural accents deepen the connection to the surrounding greenery.
