Personalised Guided Tours - Luna Hotel Baglioni -
Venice
Introduction
The best way to get to know the many layers of Venice is by
taking a guided tour of the city, personalised to your own
interests. English-speaking guides are selected for their expertise
in a given area and are booked in advance. Tours are on foot and
last for two to three hours. Tours include Hidden Venice, with
visits to the fondamenta in the Cannareggio sestiere to include the
Jewish Ghetto, the church of the Madonna dell’Orti with paintings
by Tintoretto and Tintoretto’s house; The Querini Stampalia Museum,
former dwelling-place of the aristocratic Querini family, with
works ranging from the 14th to the 18th centuries and Carlo
Scarpa’s garden; and 19th century Venice, revisiting places and
memories of the period between 1797 and 1866 after the fall of the
‘Most Serene’ Republic.
The hotel
This popular 5-star hotel enjoys a splendid
location a few yards from the western edge of St Mark's Square and
about one hundred yards to the lagoon at the mouth of the Grand
Canal. From the landing stage at St Mark's where the waterbus from
the airport arrives, the hotel can be reached on foot in less than
five minutes. The hotel has its own landing stage for private water
taxis.
On the site of what has been a hotel since the
Middle Ages, the present building has been refurbished elegantly
both inside and outside. As you enter the hotel, the marble floors
and wall panelling as well as the galleried, air-conditioned
reception area create a feeling of calm, space and coolness. As you
move upstairs the marbled flooring gives way to plush carpets that
extend to all the bedrooms. The bedrooms vary in size but are all a
good size with larger ones being exceptionally spacious. However,
they are all consistent in their level of quality furnishing,
elegant and tasteful decoration and general comfort. The bathrooms
are equipped with hairdryer, shaving mirror, telephone and extras
such as sewing kits. Non-smoking bedrooms are available on
request.
Breakfast can be enjoyed as an American-style
buffet in the grand, 18th century breakfast room or
continental-style in your room. The hotel can provide cots for
babies. An ecological plus point for the Luna Baglioni is that it
is able to treat its own waste before it enters the canal
system.
When you enquire, we will arrange the
guided tours and the type of room you prefer.
