Orient Express Venezia

Palazzo Donà Giovannelli, now part of the Orient Express legacy, is a true masterpiece of restoration, where every detail has been curated with exceptional care and intention. The historic rooms are simply breathtaking, featuring exquisite finishes and authentic period character—nothing is left to chance. From Murano glass to delicate lace, from refined silverware to a carefully selected range of outstanding local products, the property beautifully celebrates the richness of Venetian heritage. Experiencing the palace during the Easter period elevated everything even further, with thoughtful seasonal touches such as traditional colomba and chocolate eggs, adding a warm and festive dimension to the stay. Breakfast was outstanding—an indulgent journey through local excellence, featuring delicacies such as San Daniele ham, herb-roasted ham, Wagyu bresaola, and Asiago cheese, all complemented by an excellent Lavazza coffee. This is not just a hotel, but a place to return to time and again—at different moments of the day, under ever-changing light—simply to admire the magnificent frescoes and immerse yourself in the timeless beauty of the palace. A truly unforgettable experience.
