Once the seat of the French embassy, this stunning 16^th century building has been converted in a luxury hotel and exclusive wedding venue. Located in Cannaregio, near the centre but set apart from the more crowded bays, this unique venue is perfect for intimate weddings. The immaculate 16^th century façade hides a vast private garden, an oasis of tranquillity and a true rarity for Venice. With its sinuous paths, ancient trees, fountains, caves, false ruins and a beautiful gazebo, the lush hotel gardens are the perfect setting for an unforgettable outdoor ceremony and reception. The gorgeous banquet hall is still immersed in an aura of luxury and prestige. The elegant interiors are finely decorated with precious brocades, marble carvings, frescoes, fine Venetian stuccoes, and Murano glass chandeliers. Here, contemporary comfort marries with the opulence of the epoch.
