With its beautiful heirloom antiques and frescoed ceilings, Palazzo Abadessa is every inch the aristocratic family palace. The magnificent salone, with its works by followers of Tintoretto, enhances this feeling. But clients are treated very much as friends at a house party. And the lovely, lush garden is a wonderful place to relax after a tough day's sightseeing.
Service
At the front desk, Darwin and Matteo are a fount of knowledge on all things Venetian, and will direct you reliably to the best local eateries. When charming owner Maria Luisa Rossi is about, the house-party vibe is all the stronger.
Rooms
The 13 rooms and suites are all elegantly kitted out, with individual colour schemes, rich fabrics and lovely antiques. When booking, be aware that the mezzanine rooms feel much more cramped than the large, lofty upstairs ones. Some rooms have glorious frescoed or stuccoed ceilings.
Food and drink
There's a pretty breakfast room where guests take this meal when the weather prevents them from having it outside at tables spread in the garden.
