On Giudecca island with a free shuttle to St Mark’s, Hotel Cipriani, A Belmond Hotel, is a five-star Venetian retreat with 67 rooms and suites, a Michelin-starred restaurant and a rare seawater pool, gardens and tennis court.
Hotel Cipriani sits on the tip of Giudecca island, with wide water views towards the Doge’s Palace and San Giorgio, and a complimentary 24-hour shuttle boat to St Mark’s a few minutes away. Founded in 1956 by Giuseppe Cipriani, it offers a sense of space and greenery rare in Venice, with 67 rooms and suites, many reimagined by designer Peter Marino, and some set in the adjoining 15th-century Palazzo Vendramin. Dining runs from the Michelin-starred ORO, in collaboration with Massimo Bottura, to the relaxed Cip’s Club on the water and poolside options. The grounds hold a heated seawater pool and a red clay tennis court, both rare in central Venice, along with the Casanova spa, gardens and a vineyard. It suits couples and families who want calm, space and a private-island feel, with the city only a short shuttle ride away.
Dining spans fine to relaxed. ORO is the Michelin-starred restaurant, an artistic tasting menu led by Vania Ghedini in collaboration with Massimo Bottura. Cip’s Club is the informal pier restaurant, with Venetian dishes and views back to St Mark’s.
By the pool, Il Porticciolo and Bar Gabbiano handle light dishes, aperitivo and cocktails, with live music in the evenings, and the seasonal Il Bacaro Dior adds cicchetti on the waterfront.
