“Hotel Dona Palace strikes me as a quietly luxurious escape steps from St. Mark's Square, where a meticulously restored palace reveals hidden gardens and canal-side serenity. I imagine returning from the city's bustle to find Elia mixing cocktails in the lounge, before settling into rooms that blend historical charm with modern comforts. It's the kind of place where private water taxi access and thoughtful details create a uniquely Venetian experience.”
