Ca’ Pisani is a design hotel in the tranquil Dorsoduro district, occupying a restored Renaissance palazzo near the Accademia galleries and the Zattere waterfront. Unusually for Venice, its interiors celebrate 1930s and 40s Art Deco style, with original furnishings and bold period detail. A rooftop terrace and a wine-and-cheese bar add to the appeal, and the peaceful setting offers a stylish base within easy reach of the Guggenheim and the Grand Canal.
