Violino d'Oro

A 32-room boutique hotel in three linked 18th-century buildings on the Rio San Moise, a few minutes' walk from Piazza San Marco, opened in 2023 by the Venetian Vidal family. Interiors combine Venetian craft (Murano glass, Rubelli fabrics, Bevilacqua velvets) with contemporary furnishings, and there is a small canal-side restaurant and the Il Piccolo bar.

Part of the Outbound Stays collection, Violino d'Oro is one of the places we think is genuinely worth the journey in Italy — chosen for its character, its design and the experience of staying there.
