‘Oltre Il Giardino’An intimate, art-filled, family-run hotel in off-beat San Polo, with spacious bedrooms and a secret garden
If you’ve ever wondered what it's like to live in Venice – in a family home, in comfort and in style – then here is your answer. Oltre Il Giardino (‘beyond the garden’) is the bucolic residence of Franco-Venetian Alessandra Arduini Zambelli and her charming son Lorenzo. They converted their three-storey villa, which once belonged to Mahler’s widow, into an intimate city retreat, now one of Venice’s really special secrets. Its 6 bedrooms are spacious and unfussy, its drawing rooms are filled with Edwardian art and family heirlooms, and there’s an easy grace about the place which make you feel immediately at home.
The garden in question lies at the front (or the back, if you arrived by canal boat), its lavender-covered walls shielding you from street noise and summer crowds. Breakfasting here is a real privilege. In the evenings, you can sink into deep sofas inside with a drink from the complimentary bar. Sheer style, and with none of the coldness of some design hotels. read more and book at i-escape
