Escape the madding crowds when you vacation in the seriously impressive Palazzo Luna, located in the quiet Castello Orientale district of historic Venice, on Italy’s northeast coast. This former fifteenth century Doge’s palazzo has six spacious double bedrooms, and can comfortably accommodate up to fourteen guests in some style, ideal for a large family gathering, or friends’ get together.

The palazzo has been recently restored to its former glory, cleverly combining classic historic treasures with modern amenities. The property comes with complimentary air conditioning, central heating, and Wi-Fi throughout, and its own internal elevator, gym, and a jacuzzi bath. The palazzo has been exquisitely interior designed, with cool contemporary pieces, natural wood, and billowing crisp white fabrics. Alfresco living space is provided by a decked rooftop terrace and a small garden. Words alone cannot do this palazzo justice, staying is believing!
