Postcards from... Venice
A love letter from Venice to you, highlighting a few of my favorite things.
STAY |
The Venice Venice Hotel: for a restored palace and a great location. Top of my list!
The Gritti Palace: for classic luxury- also one of Yolanda Edwards's favorite hotels in the world.
Hotel Cipriani: for a summer escape, with its iconic pool and impeccable service. And it just exudessss cool.
Ca Maria Adele: for eclectic charm, featuring bold decor and prints everywhere—not for minimalists!
Aman Venice: for ultimate luxury and unparalleled opulence.
Note: French hoteliers Airelles are opening a property in 2025 on Giudecca in the former Casa delle Zitelle. Rosewood is also revamping the historic Hotel Bauer across the lagoon, set to open in 2025.

EAT |
La Tavernetta: for one of the best sommeliers in Italy (Ottavio Venditto) and unforgettable food on the Lido.
Al Covo: for farm-to-table excellence, where Diane and Cesare serve fresh produce grown on their island garden on Sant’Erasmo.
Da Ivo: for timeless coziness- think red checkered tablecloths, wooden banquettes, and walls adorned with copper pans and Damien Hirst sketches.
Cantina Sciavi: for a casual bite- cicchetti (Venetian tapas) and wine.
DRINK |
Il Mercante: for innovative cocktails inside an 1850's historical Venetian cafe.
The Library Bar (Hotel Nolinski): for something intimate and chic.
Harry’s Bar: for enduring classics and Hemingway nostalgia.
Caffè Florian: for a cappuccino at the bar in a historic café setting.
Paolin (Campo San Stefano): for a refreshing G&T and/or great gelato.
DO |
Basilica of Santi Giovanni e Paolo: for some of the best sculptures and the final resting place of Venice’s doges.
Peggy Guggenheim Museum: for modern art in a stunning 18th-century palace on the Grand Canal.
Gallerie Accademia: for Venetian art spanning the 14th to the 18th century.
Teatro La Fenice: for dramatic opera performances in a beautiful historic venue.
Mercato di Rialto: for fresh produce, seafood, and local Venetian vibes. I loveeee a good market to walk around + snack.
