Profile

 Villa Delle Palme is one of the most attractive and unusual buildings on the island of Lido, in the heart of Venice’s lagoon. Built in 1906 by the engineer Donghi, it maintains its original eclectic appearance that has been enhanced by recent refurbishment work. Its Liberty style blends with a number of Renaissance features to produce an extreme elegance with Modernist undertones. The first owners since the beginning kept on planting lot of palms in the six hundred square meter garden until they surrounded the hotel and this is the reason why the estate took this name. |
 It was originally designed as a private residence, but was later cleverly converted to welcome guests in the early 1950s. Today its original structure remains unchanged and is characterised by a spacious Lobby and an impressive staircase linking the building’s three storeys and culminating in a series of panoramic terraces overlooking the lagoon of Venice. In fact, looking from the upper balcony (it is the second highest tower in the Lido) you can admire a magnificent scenery on S.Mark's Square and the rest of the area. This posting place has been used by many professional photographers because of its original position. |
 The hall boasts a peaceful and privileged location, just a few steps from the main terminal that links Lido with Piazza San Marco (12 minutes) and a few minutes’ walk from the island’s Gran Viale Centro, the shady promenade that leads to the beaches. Easy access is also available to the lagoon’s famous islands of Burano, Murano and Torcello, as well as the venues for international conferences and cultural events held in Venice such as the two yearly Art and Architecture Exhibition in the Giardini (7 minutes) and the Venice Film Festival held on Lido. |
