Once a private residence known as Palazzo Bacchini delle Palme, Palazzo Venart preserves centuries of Venetian history in the heart of Santa Croce. Away from the classic tourist routes and ten minutes from the Rialto Bridge, the restored palazzo opens onto a garden with a private pier on the Grand Canal. Its seventeen rooms and suites pair fine furnishings and references to eighteenth-century Venice with modern comforts. At Glam, traditional flavours of the Lagoon are reinterpreted with a contemporary approach, in an intimate setting with a glazed dining room and a courtyard shaded by an old magnolia tree.
Features & Amenities
The Covellea perspective
Palazzo Venart offers a distinctly residential version of Venice: a restored palazzo in Santa Croce, away from the classic tourist routes yet ten minutes from the Rialto Bridge. Once known as Palazzo Bacchini delle Palme, it places Venetian history at the centre of the stay, with ornate interiors and a garden opening onto the Grand Canal. Its seventeen individual rooms and suites keep the scale intimate, while the private pier gives the property a direct connection to the water.
The garden is more than an attractive setting. It occupies the space where the canal-facing part of the palace stood before a fire in 1845. The restoration completed in 2016 brought the residence back from years of neglect; today, its furnishings and decorative details reinterpret the splendour of eighteenth-century Venice. References to travellers, poets, artworks and local traditions give the rooms their individual identities, rather than a uniform hotel aesthetic.
Choose your room around the Venice you want to see. Classic rooms with terraces look across Santa Croce’s rooftops, bell towers and lanes; a terrace should not be mistaken for a Grand Canal view. For that outlook, consider the Grand Canal Suite, with handcrafted boiseries, a living area, a separate bedroom and an onyx-lined bathroom. The top-floor Deluxe Suite category offers around 50 square metres, with views described as garden, rooftops or canal: check the specific room before reserving through the official website.
Make time for Glam as well as the city outside. Its contemporary interpretation of Lagoon flavours emphasises seasonal ingredients, served in a glazed dining room and a courtyard shaded by an old magnolia. Pair exploring Santa Croce with time in the garden: the palazzo’s appeal lies as much in these smaller settings as in its grand interiors.
