VENICE
Doge, set in the historic Castello Orientale area of Venice, is a canal-side, four-story palazzo, with a private deck on the lagoon. Just a short walk from the bustling Piazza San Marco, this hidden, and still unexploited, area of the authentic local life of Venice, is worlds away from the touristy parts of Venice.
Dating back to the beginning of the 15th century, Doge has been completely refurbished, in a very contemporary style, by its current owners. In addition to the stunning views, Doge offers to its guests both historical treasures, in its architectural structure, as well as all modern amenities, including a private elevator. Doge presents possibilities for a culturally filled and reinvigorating retreat in one of the most sought-after Italian cities. There are three Vaporetto (public water buses) stops nearby, a very convenient way to move around Venice and its islands.

Venice – a city of myth and magic, a city of indolence and pleasure, a world half-real and half-dream. Wander through this unique city, which is not just a matter of water and canals. Venice’s enchantment is due to the way it receives the sun, mirrors the moonlight on its canals, shimmers in the lagoon while the warm scirocco wind blows through its streets, and to the way its monuments and buildings reflect light and shadow, and color. Venice seduces millions of visitors from all over the world with her picturesque carnival, colorful pageants, musical festivals, theaters, and gambling houses.
Get ready to explore this magnificent city – you need a good pair of walking shoes – to get lost in the intricate labyrinth of narrow streets and secretive alleys, crossing numerous small bridges.
