Palazzo Papadopoli, Calle Tiepolo 1364, Sestiere San Polo, Venice, 30125, Italy
In a city so beautiful it has inspired replica designs, there are still rarified experiences to be had for the chosen few. Historic architectural details in a former palace, an exclusive jetty on the Grand Canal, and private gardens on the iconic waterway – this is a Venetian hideaway that defines romance. You can head out to explore the city (via the formal porta d’acqua entrance which opens directly onto the water) or just stay in and call it a day, but before deciding either way, indulge yourself in a mosey around the truly splendid hotel grounds.
