 Our Hotel Abbazia is a part of the mystical former Monastery of the Barefooted Carmelite Friars of Venice. The barefooted Carmelite Friars began to build their convent (later demolished during the first half of the 19th century to make room for the railway station) and their church in 1656, according to the plan by Baldassare Longhena (b. Venice 1598, d. 1682). |
 After his death the plan was carried out by Giuseppe Pozzo, a Carmelite Friars (b. Trento 1645 _ d. 1721), who also designed some of the altars and decorations. This church is the most splendid example of the baroque style in Venice. Strong contrasts of the light and shadow, the use of a variety of marbles, the glittering of gold friezes and the vigorous plastic quality of shapes and figures, both painted and sculpted and set in highly dramatic perspective, all combine to achieve a most colorful effect. |
 Everything seems to celebrate the triumph of the artist spirit over dead matter.
The hotel is ideally located within short walking distance from Venice Santa Lucia Station and from here; guests can easily reach all the main points of cultural interest in Venice. |
