The house, which once belonged to Alma Mahler, the composer's widow who lived there in the 1920's, lies next to a small canal just a stone's throw from the Church of the Frari, has now been turned into an exclusive but homey retreat.
This enchanting place in the hearth of Venice offers something unique guests will feel that they have really found a home away from home.
Oltre il Giardino is a one-of-a-kind country house in the centre of Venice. Its delightful garden with olive trees, magnolia and pomegranate, is an oasis of peace and quiet providing the possibility to relax amidst its green embrace. During the warmer seasons, breakfast is served in the garden.
Friendly and helpful staff is at your complete disposal for any type of reservation or suggestion, whether it is a restaurant, a theatre, an art exhibition or a site to visit.
