Venice, Italy
Discover the floating city of Venice at three distinct Inspirato accommodations. Aman Venice is an opulent boutique hotel overlooking the Grand Canal where you’ll find museum-quality treasures at every turn. Step back in time to Old World Venice at the Baglioni Hotel Luna right in the heart of Venice near to Mark’s square.
La Bella Venezia
The floating city of Venice was a force to be reckoned with during the Renaissance. Its prime maritime location off the Adriatic Sea has summoned travelers to its mystical shores for centuries. Antonio Vivaldi was born here and the city's influence on modern operatic music is unrivaled. Find yourself here to travel back in time to the artistic nonchalance and enchantment of sprezzatura. Condé Nast Johansens voted Ca'Sagredo Hotel "One of the Best Italian Hotels." The palace dates back to the 15th century and has been declared a National Monument. Its frescoed ballrooms and waterside terraces along the Grand Canal will imprint in your memory forever.

Forecasting Your Venice Vacation
Venice has a truly moderate climate, making it good to visit any time of the year. Temperatures are rarely extreme and seasons are distinct: Summers are warm and humid, while winters are cooler and see the most rain. The city's northern location makes snow a possibility, but its perch on the coast usually keeps snow at bay.
