THE PLACE
Venice, seen from another shore.
Hotel Cipriani stands on Giudecca Island in the Venetian lagoon. Gardens and a heated outdoor swimming pool suggest another relationship with the city, with a boat shuttle connecting to St Mark’s Square.
The choice is geographical as much as it is about a hotel: returning to an island after sightseeing, with transfers becoming part of the rhythm of the trip.
WHY THIS ADDRESS
Why consider this address?
We would consider Cipriani for a trip alternating city exploration with time at the hotel. Its setting makes planning the first and last transfer as relevant as the days in between.
