One of our greatest pleasures is finding somewhere that does things differently. Oltre Il Giardino "On the far side of the garden" is surely it:
• A garden with olive trees, magnolia and pomegranate. Venice may be stunning but sometimes a glass of wine in a beautiful garden in a beautiful corner of paradise is unsurpassable. Likewise breakfast outdoors in the summertime is an almost spiritual start to the day.
• Beautifully turned out, Oltre Il Giardino is very stylish but doesn’t take itself too seriously, think comfort, lovely soft beds, plenty of rugs adding a homely feel and an overall air of cool, calm sophistication. • Six bedrooms means you’re not just another guest. Welcome to personality, charm and attention to detail. • Shun sterility. You’ve got a great location in one of the more authentic areas of Venice; enjoy your two-minute stroll to the grand canal, a cappuccino on the Zattere looking out across to the island of Giudecca and Palladio’s Redentore, a “spritz” - the quintessential Venetian aperitivo in Campo Santa Margherita.
• Of course a haunt of the classics is essential; the Rialto Bridge is just five minutes away, St. Mark’s Square is just 10 minutes more.
• The beautiful rooms, refreshingly large for Italy, are elegant and stylish preferring softer tones and low-key elegance. Woods, tile-work and warm colours keep things simple but inviting. You should really be out and about enjoying yourself but rest assured that high-speed internet is at hand if you can’t escape work. All of the rooms look out onto trees and greenery providing a little oasis in the city of canals and passageways.
