Venice Guide: Overview, Hotels & Travel Writing

About Venice

Beyond the gondolas and gnocchi, Venice inspires romance and exasperation in equal measure. It is beyond beautiful - a tangled network of murky canals, lemony-rose stonework, arched bridges and grand palaces converted into luxury hotels. High summer brings sweltering heat and heaving masses of tourists though, and the over-inflated prices are renowned.

Our boutique and luxury hotels in Venice are something special. They range from the old-world charms of Hotel Flora to cutting-edge design in the Charming House siblings. This city always manages to surprise, and its wonderful, quirky hideaways are no different.
