Across the Grand Canal from Piazza San Marco is the island of La Giudecca. Here, away from the madding crowds and touristic bustle is one of Venice's most unusual and secret gems, BAUERs Palladio Hotel & SPA. And it's just a short, picturesque boat ride from the heart of the city. Bauer Palladio Hotel & SPA is an exciting, unique five-star hotel concept. This handsome building was a sixteenth-century convent designed by the greatest Renaissance architect, Andrea Palladio. Recently bought by the Bauer group, Il Palladio has been restored to its former splendour as an exclusive private hotel with a limited number of sumptuous suites and bedrooms.
Palladio has 37 rooms and 13 Suites, with a warm and welcoming decor, and a soft colour palette of pastels. Each of its spacious rooms is beautifully detailed with the finest paint decoration and tapestries, while still maintaining its original identity. There is great pleasure in living in an ancient building with both a religious and secular history in the romantic city of Venice says Bortolotto Possati. Many rooms have beautiful lagoon views or enchanting garden views, some featuring small balconies.
