If downtown Venice is destined to remain in your hearts, you won't forget the magic of the Grand Canal and Rialto Bridge, seen from the high rooftops of a romantic antique palazzo.
The top floor of the Palazzo Bembo, elegant hotel in Venetian Gothic style, provides an enchanting period residence atmosphere enhanced by its fine original furnishings, charming nineteenth century watercolors and precious Murano glass. As a small and exclusive hotel, you can enjoy your breakfast in the magnificent hall overlooking the Grand Canal, contemplating the passing gondolas in total intimacy.
In addition to being face to face with the Rialto Bridge and its infamous market, you're just a few steps away from Ca’ Farsetti, the twelfth century Venetian-Byzantine palazzo now home to the town hall. You're close to the Goldoni theater where a rich season of shows by the theater's Venetian playwright namesake, William Shakespeare and Eduardo de Filippo are on the program.
St. Mark's Square is just 5-minutes away by foot. Walking there you can enjoy other splendid side trips to places like the Mercerie, crowded route full of shops that joins Rialto with St. Mark's Square. Here you'll find the best of the best, from the fantastic boutique windows to the most beautiful handcrafted Murano glass and the most spectacular architecture of the Doge Palace and impressive bell tower.

The Brembo nobles - a family of saints, theologians and military heroes including Duke Giovanni Brembo who vanquished the Usocchi pirates - has this sumptuous palazzo built at the end of the fourteenth century after fleeing from Bologna during the barbarian invasions. It is an elegant example of Venetian-Gothic style highly influenced by the Moorish architecture the Venetian tradesmen absorbed during their travels in the Middle East. Giuliano dei Medici, brother of Lorenzo the Magnificent, stayed here in 1510 when he came to Venice to heal.
Palazzo Bembo was built at the end of the fourteenth century by the noble Brembo family on the Riva del Carbon on the Grand Canal where they unloaded the carbon they imported and sold.
Palazzo Bembo combines the charm of an ancient home, intimate and elegant, with a cordial staff to relive the glories of the past.
Time stands still at Palazzo Bembo and the beauty of magical Venice continues to reflect in the waters of the Grand Canal.
Luxurious upholstery, elegant furnishings, antique furniture and original Murano glass transform each room into a small sophisticated and aristocratic room.
