Following elegant renovation work, the boutique hotel Le Isole has reopened in Fondamenta del Vin, a strategic location right in the heart of Venice, just a two-minute walk from St Mark's Square and 10 minutes on foot from Rialto Bridge. The San Zaccaria boat stop close to the hotel offers convenient access to anywhere in the city, as well as to all the inhabited islands in the Venetian lagoon.
Hotel Le Isole is within easy reach of all the main attractions Venice has to offer: St Mark's Square, the Basilica, the Doge's Palace, the Bridge of Sighs, Bacino Orseolo - the city's largest gondola depot - the Correr Museum and Rialto.
Located in a sixteenth-century building that was once the Benedictine monastery of San Zaccaria, the hotel retains a number of features characteristic of Gothic-Renaissance works of the period, and is named Le Isole in honour of the owner's undying love for Venice and its fascinating history: it was to le isole, the islands in the lagoon, that the local population fled from the countryside during the Barbarian invasions in the mid-fifth century B.C., without which the powerful Serenissima Republic could never have been founded. This is a delightful hotel with a sophisticated style in which traditional art and avant-garde design form a blend of rare beauty. Le Isole offers a hospitable, inviting welcome that is homely yet professional and attentive to the needs of each individual guest.
The hotel offers a choice of deluxe, classic and standard rooms. Each room is dedicated to an island in the lagoon, with the doors featuring superb reproductions of eighteenth-century engravings by Tironi, skilfully painted by a renowned Venetian craftsmen. The attractively warm atmosphere in the 16 rooms is created by the fine trumeaux, beautiful lamps and sophisticated silk lampshades by VeneziaStudium, the bathrooms in marble and Bisazza mosaics, and the pictures featuring original, contemporary views of Venice by the artist Matteo Bertelli. All of this is combined with cutting-edge technology, LCD TV with SKY channels and Wi-Fi internet access.
The delightful, cosy, tastefully furnished breakfast room is enhanced by the original view over the spacious, country-style internal courtyard, a rare privilege in Venice, where the delicious buffet breakfast may be served on milder mornings.
Characterised by elegance and attention to detail, Hotel Le Isole offers top-class comfort and facilities, the very best that can be expected from a 3-star hotel. Reception is open to welcome guests round the clock, offering leaflets and information on the main sightseeing itineraries to explore the museums and monuments of Venice and visit the events and exhibitions taking place in the city.
The staff will also be happy to place their personal knowledge of the city at guests' disposal, suggesting attractions, itineraries, restaurants and the like that do not necessarily feature in the guidebooks.
