Airelles Palladio occupies a 16th-century address on La Giudecca, the island that drew Venetian aristocracy and artists for centuries. The property comprises 17 rooms, 28 suites, and a private three-bedroom villa spread across three historic buildings: the Palladio, Villa Frollo, and the Conventino. Nearly one hectare of gardens surround the complex, a scale almost impossible to find this close to the center of Venice.
La Giudecca sits directly across the Giudecca Canal from the Dorsoduro and San Marco sestieri. The island is quiet by Venetian standards, with a local character the more trafficked areas of the city have largely lost, yet it is minutes from St. Mark’s Square by water taxi or hotel boat.
The view from the canal-facing rooms and terraces across to St. Mark’s Basilica and the Doge’s Palace is the defining reason to stay here. No other Venice hotel holds this sightline. Four chefs operate simultaneously on the property, the spa runs to 1,700 square metres across three floors, and the private villa adds a fourth pool for guests who want complete separation from the main house.
