A gossamer mantle of borrowed aristocracy envelops you as you step through the doors of Hotel Ca’Sagredo, making your step a little lighter and your head a little higher. Marble cherubs gaze down at you as you ascend the grand marble staircase, surrounded by mesmerising 18th century frescoes.
As well as the heritage atmosphere, you will find all the comforts you look for in a five-star hotel, whilst the view from your room could have been painted by Canaletto. On your way to dinner, make sure to explore the gallery/museum where you will be completely enchanted. In one of the connecting rooms, you will see that paintings completely cover the walls and antique furniture sits invitingly. All these things glow gloriously under the chandeliers and reflected light from the canal outside, meanwhile, a grand piano waits patiently in the corner. In the Sala Della Musica, numerous frescoes attributed to Gaspare Diziani grace the walls and ceiling. Apollo appears in his sun chariot among the other Olympian gods. Before even paying a visit to the main galleries in Venice, you will feel as though you are beholding the finest of art that Venice has to offer.
In the evening, in the pure white linen and gold-columned surrounding of the L’Alcova Restaurant, you will discover that the hotel’s culture does not stop at Renaissance buildings and precious artworks. The food is a work of art to rival the galleries, in fact, it is like dining in heaven. You will practically swoon over the dessert menu, especially the home-made tiramisu ‘Sagredo’ style.
When you venture out to see the sights of Venice, the aristocratic air from the Hotel Ca’Sagredo accompanies you every step of the way!
