| Description: | Hotel Ca'Gottardi Venice, Italy. The fruit of the Costantini family's labor, Venetian gondoliers for 4 generations, Hotel Ca'Gottardi occupies the main floor of an antique Venetian palace from the XV century. Your greeting to the hotel begins with a pure white stone balustrade, through which the light creates unique shadow effects. Overlooking the Rio de Noal canal, you can admire Ca'Pesaro to your right - today the home of the Modern Art Gallery which reopened its doors in November 2002 after 10 years of renovations. Inside the Ca'Gottardi's guestrooms, furnishings have been crafted by local experts in the classical Venetian 18th-century style, and evoke that noble elegance that has made Venice famous throughout Europe. Fine brocade curtains and carpets provide a warm contrast to a light-filled ambience created by the high ceilings and large windows. The city's world-famous "art of glass" is displayed in the chandeliers, and in the public gold-framed mirrors. Parquet floors composed of African woods, accented by warm tones of red and maroon, are laid with rich soft carpeting. True elegance and comfort is provided for guests: in-room amenities include satellite television, mini bar, radio, heating and individually controlled air-conditioning, modem internet connection, private safe. Bathrooms are equipped with hair dryers, showers and two have Jacuzzi showers with sauna. |
