Cipriani, A Belmond Hotel, Venice | Italy

Giudecca Island, Venice
Five-StarIndependent

Aurelle Curator's Verdict

Cipriani is the ultimate Venetian sanctuary for those who desire old-world glamour and a 'resort' atmosphere away from the tourist crush of San Marco. It is perfect for travelers who value privacy and lush gardens, while those who prefer a modern, minimalist aesthetic or want to be steps from the main shopping districts may find its Giudecca location a step too far. The one signature experience worth flying for is sipping an original Bellini at the Gabbiano Bar as the sun sets over the lagoon.
