Belmond Hotel Cipriani
The Cut· research-verified, not yet visited
A garden estate on the island of Giudecca with an Olympic-sized outdoor pool, heated and filtered with seawater, and a private boat service that runs all night to San Marco. The retreat-style luxury option.
Founded in 1958 by Giuseppe Cipriani (yes, the same one who opened Harry's Bar) on three acres at the tip of Giudecca island, with a swimming pool he commissioned because "if Venice doesn't have one, mine should." The 67 rooms and suites are spread across the main building, the Palazzo Vendramin annexe and the Casanova Garden Suites, all set in formal Italian gardens with a view across the lagoon to San Marco. Cip's Club out on the water is a destination for lunch by itself. The private boat shuttle runs every twenty minutes to San Marco, day and night.
