This 17th century Venetian palace, now a beautiful boutique hotel, is on a serene canal in the Castello district. Just steps from Rialto Bridge and five minutes to St. Mark’ s Square, it’ s an ideal location for discovering the real Venice, whether that’ s visiting the old fish market or having a cappuccino at an outdoor café to absorb the surrounding magnificence. With some of the most spacious rooms in Venice, the hotel transports guests to another time with its elegant restoration, lovely inner courtyard and sunny rooms. The restaurant, Alle Corone, serves regional specialties including pasta and pastries from its own kitchen. Ai Reali boasts a beautiful wine cellar where guests can enjoy a private dinner. It may be designated a 4-star hotel, but it definitely delivers 5-star service! northern italy ~ venice
