ITALY
/There are few destinations on the Earth with the enduring appeal of Italy. Rolling hills, sun-dappled vineyards, dramatic coastline and incredible food are just a few of the reasons why visitors are drawn here year after year.
THE GRITTI PALACE, VENICE, ITALY
The epitome of elegance and majesty, The Gritti Palace is an exclusive palatial jewel steeped in history, beautifully restored to be one of the most luxurious hotels on the Grand Canal of Venice. Adorned with Italian works of art, the elegantly decorated rooms are the perfect blend of Venetian style, with sophisticated modern touches, enhanced by original wooden ceilings, stunning marble floors and 18th Century furnishings. We particularly recommend The Gritti Palace for its personal service, nothing is too much trouble, and dining here is exceptional - be sure to enjoy a cocktail on the terrace looking out to the stunning Santa Maria della Salute church.
