Palazzo Contarini della Porta di Ferro
In a network of canals, in a district that, by some curious twist of fate, has until now been spared from hasty and noisy tourism, an ancient bizantine portal opens and, as if by magic, you are catapulted into the 1400s, at the very height of the Serenissima Republic of Venice.
Exclusive Suite Apartments in an ancient 14th-century building, rich in stories and legends, Palazzo Contarini offers a refined concept of attentive and personalised hospitality, ensuring a stay away from the typical tourist routines and in contact with the most precious historical testimonies of the lagoon. Just a few steps from Piazza San Marco, an ancient portico opens onto the courtyard, adorned with marble carvings and Byzantine friezes. The ‘water door’ allows direct access into the palace from the lagoon. The property features a floral garden with statues and fountains, rooms and apartments with views of the San Francesco Canal, the garden, the courtyard, or Venetian roofs. Palazzo Contarini Della Porta Di Ferro is enriched with antique tapestries, Murano glass chandeliers and marble details, creating a luxurious atmosphere. Guests can relax in the green courtyard surrounded by brick walls.
