LONDRA PALACE | VENICE, VENETO
With its 100 windows overlooking St. Mark’s Basin, the Londra Palace for over 140 years has been a favourite gathering place for artists, people of culture, travellers and tourists who appreciate authentic places that are not bound by the spirit of time.
The Londra Palace offers 53 rooms in Biedermeier style, each one different from the others, featuring elegant upholstery, brocades and marble bathrooms. Each room is unique: views of St. Mark’s Basin and the Lagoon are on one side, and the rooftops and bell towers of Venice’s historic centre on the other.
Its restaurant, Do Leoni, is a temple to Venetian cuisine, thanks to the artistry of the chef, Loris Indri, who combines tradition with innovation. The excitement of good food is enhanced by the pleasure of dining in an elegant setting rich in atmosphere.
Cocktail time is an authentic Venetian rite. It is performed by Marino Lucchetti, Marco and Marcella in a relaxing surrounding, mixing local tradition with an international spirit. The splendid veranda facing Riva degli Schiavoni is the ‘secret’ ingredient that turns even a casual break into a special experience.
The complex is surrounded not only by the garden, but also by a beautiful imposing park installed at the same time as the restoration during the second half of the 19th century.
With an "English-style" landscaping, the park crossed by long paths, each of which marked by various types of essences - covers the whole hill up to the valley entrance where the characteristic Monumental Tower stands. Within, we find various types of century-old trees and distinctive elements like the pools and small like where a single "imbarcadero" originally flowed, starting from the courtyard in front of the villa.
All the rooms allow you to enjoy the quiet noble atmosphere that permeates the borgo. Comfort, practicality and technology combine with the fascination of the original construction.With Classic Rooms (35), Deluxe Rooms (11), Junior Suites (5) and Suites (7).
Wellness area to recover from the physical exertion. A specific area is given over to offering saunas, Turkish baths, emotional showers and a relaxation zone with herbal teas. Cleanse your skin before summer of tanning with Thalasso therapy at Borgo dei Conti Resort.
