Palazzo Contarini della Porta di Ferro

The walls are alive . They relate-to those who know how to listen- a succession of centuries in the layers of plaster on stone, wood and brick steeped in history. The walls reveal to dose who know to listen the events of History, with a capital H, which bears inscribed the names of centuries and condottieri. The dates of battles. And they relate those who take the time to listen,  the magic of Venice.

 Palazzo Contarini suggests a refined hospitality, attentive and personalized, far from the noisy Tourism in touch with the most beautiful and charming monuments of Venice.

A short walk from Piazza San Marco leads to an acient ”portic” leading to the “Corte”, rich of marble engravings oranaments; the “porta d’acqua” allowes to approach the Palazzo Contarini  from the Lagoon, directly to the reception, located in the Hall at the ground floor.
