Recently unveiled by Collezione Em<\/em>,<\/a> the exquisite hotel collection from the Maestrelli family, this five-star boutique property represents a new era in luxury hospitality: intimate, conscious, and deeply emotional. It not only pays homage to Italy\u2019s rich artistic tradition but reimagines it with a contemporary sensitivity where design, sustainability and Venetian soul are seamlessly interwoven.<\/p>\n

Every detail of the project reflects a deep respect for cultural heritage and a passion for excellence \u2013 hallmarks of this hotelier family with over three decades of experience. More than a place to stay, this retreat is an aesthetic, sensory and human experience \u2013 recognised as part of The Leading Hotels of the World<\/em>, a distinction that places it among the world\u2019s most exclusive destinations.<\/p>\n

They have reinterpreted Venetian hospitality through a lens that is contemporary, sophisticated and deeply human.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

An intimate palazzo steeped in art and history<\/h6>\n

The hotel is housed within three meticulously restored 17th-century buildings. Inside, luxury is expressed through silence, texture, and the natural light that fills every space. Nothing is left to chance: from the materials to the subtle scent in the corridors, each element contributes to a truly unique atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Sara and Elena Maestrelli<\/em>, heirs to the family\u2019s savoir-faire, have succeeded in reimagining Venetian hospitality with a perspective that is both sophisticated and profoundly human. Here, every corner tells a story. Fabrics by Rubelli<\/em>, lamps by Venini<\/em>, artisanal Venetian terrazzo floors, and a curated selection of Italian art and design pieces coexist in perfect harmony.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Across its 32 rooms and suites, guests encounter a well-balanced blend of elegance and comfort. Furniture with clean lines and Italian soul sits alongside Oriental pieces, Venetian antiques and contemporary touches, reflecting a global, refined aesthetic.<\/p>\n

Canal views, high ceilings and a soft, harmonious colour palette reinforce the feeling of calm and understated sophistication.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Luxury born of authenticity<\/h6>\n

“It\u2019s an artisanal Italian project designed like a home”<\/em>, says Sara Maestrelli<\/em>. And that\u2019s exactly how it feels \u2013 like a refined home, full of soul. From the glassware to the headboards, everything has been crafted between Venice and Tuscany, avoiding mass production in favour of noble materials and expert hands.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Velvets, brocades and damasks from Rubelli<\/em> elegantly dress the rooms, while Carrara<\/em> marble inlays in the artisanal flooring tell a story of craftsmanship that withstands the test of time. Hand-blown Murano<\/em> glass lamps add both character and warmth. Every object has a story. Every texture evokes emotion.<\/p>\n

At this Venetian boutique hotel, sustainability is not a marketing label but a deeply rooted philosophy. The use of local materials, support for artisan economies, and a mindful approach to resource management reflect a genuine commitment to the environment \u2013 and to the future of luxury travel.<\/p>\n

At Violino d\u2019Oro, sustainability is not a label \u2013 it\u2019s a cross-cutting philosophy.<\/h2>\n
Hospitality that leaves a lasting impression<\/h6>\n

Beyond its architectural beauty, what truly sets Violino d\u2019Oro<\/em> apart is the warmth of its hospitality. The team strikes a perfect balance between professionalism and approachability, offering a service that is warm, attentive and entirely personalised. From the check-in experience to every tailored local suggestion, guests feel genuinely listened to and cared for.<\/p>\n

The beds invite deep rest; the Ortigia<\/em> amenities add a sensory touch that extends the experience; and the communal areas \u2013 adorned with artworks and Venetian glass \u2013 encourage lingering. Here, luxury is not flaunted, but lived with natural ease.<\/p>\n

The entire team \u2013 trained to the highest standards of hospitality \u2013 understands the importance of anticipating every need. Whether it\u2019s arranging a special reservation, organising a private dinner, or adapting breakfast hours, the service flows with the guest\u2019s own rhythm.<\/p>\n

Breakfasts that celebrate the art of living<\/h6>\n

Each morning begins with an unforgettable breakfast in a sun-drenched dining room. Fresh produce, artisanal pastries, seasonal fruit, freshly pressed juices and made-to-order coffee set the scene for a slow and pleasurable start to the day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The offering is complemented by rustic breads, local cheeses, organic cereals, and both vegetarian and vegan options \u2013 all reflecting the hotel\u2019s wholesome, health-conscious philosophy.<\/p>\n

The serene ambiance \u2013 with elegant tables, soft lighting and gentle music \u2013 invites guests to savour breakfast as an act of wellbeing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The gastronomic jewel: Il Piccolo<\/h6>\n

The crown of the hotel\u2019s culinary offering is Il Piccolo<\/em>, the intimate in-house restaurant recognised by the Michelin Guide<\/em>. With just nine tables, it presents a contemporary, plant-forward menu rooted in local and seasonal ingredients.<\/p>\n

From reimagined cicchetti<\/em> to chickpea mini-burgers or artichokes with vegan black garlic mayo, every dish pays tribute to the surrounding land. Signature cocktails, crafted by head bartender Francesco<\/em>, complete the experience with creativity and flavour.<\/p>\n

Il Piccolo is the intimate in-house restaurant recognised by the Michelin Guide.<\/h2>\n

Il Piccolo<\/em> becomes an intimate stage where haute cuisine is expressed without pretension, allowing diners to fully appreciate every ingredient, every texture, every story.<\/p>\n

The menu, which evolves with the seasons, combines innovative cooking techniques with a deep respect for tradition.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Experiences that connect with the soul of Venice<\/h6>\n

This exceptional property understands luxury as an emotional, enriching experience \u2014 one that is deeply connected to its surroundings.<\/p>\n

As such, it offers not just an unforgettable stay, but unique experiences that allow guests to discover Venice from an intimate, local and authentic perspective.<\/p>\n

From Venetian cooking classes, yoga by the canals and mixology workshops, to private visits to the ateliers of legendary artisans such as Rubelli <\/em>or Micheluzzi<\/em> \u2014 where tradition and design coexist in perfect harmony.<\/p>\n

Cultural tours are also organised to unveil the city\u2019s lesser-known treasures, with privileged access to operas or palaces usually closed to the general public \u2014 offering a rare and exclusive insight into the soul of Venice.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Guests can also book bespoke experiences such as sunrise photography walks, guided strolls through the Dorsoduro district, private sunset cruises on the lagoon, or food tours through Venice\u2019s best bacari<\/em> (traditional wine bars).<\/p>\n

Every activity is tailor-made, designed to suit each guest\u2019s pace and personal interests. The aim is always the same: to offer a real, profound, and sensitive connection to the City of Canals<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Burano and Murano: beyond the Grand Canal<\/h6>\n

During our stay, we also explored two unmissable islands: Murano <\/em>and Burano<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

These excursions are organised by the hotel team with great care and sensitivity, expanding the Venetian experience beyond the historic centre.<\/p>\n

In Murano<\/em>, the soul of glass reveals itself at every turn. Though world-famous for its glassmaking tradition, what makes visiting truly captivating is the chance to experience it from within: stepping into a working fornace<\/em>, feeling the heat of the furnaces, and shaping molten glass with your own hands under the guidance of a master artisan.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a direct connection to centuries of living heritage \u2013 a craft passed down through generations. In addition to workshop visits, Murano<\/em> also offers charming galleries and shops where one-of-a-kind, signed and numbered pieces can be purchased \u2013 true works of art that keep Venetian craftsmanship alive.<\/p>\n

Burano<\/em>, by contrast, is an explosion of colour and visual poetry. Its brightly painted fa\u00e7ades reflected in the canals create a palette straight out of a dream. But beyond the visual charm, Burano<\/em> is the cradle of the most refined handmade lace.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The lace makers still work by hand as they did centuries ago \u2013 using the finest threads and infinite patience.<\/p>\n

Walking through its quiet streets feels like stepping into a living history lesson, where art and everyday life are gracefully intertwined. Its serene, almost timeless atmosphere makes it the perfect place to disconnect \u2013 to sit by a canal with an espresso and let beauty do the rest.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One more reason to return<\/h6>\n

In a city overflowing with history and beauty, this restored palazzo<\/em> offers something new: a different way of inhabiting Venice. A space where art, design, craftsmanship and Italian hospitality intertwine to create an experience that is authentic, sophisticated, and deeply emotional.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In a city overflowing with history and beauty, this restored palazzo offers something new: a different way of inhabiting Venice.<\/h2>\n

Violino d\u2019Oro<\/em> is not just another option \u2014 it is a statement of intent. A haven that celebrates beauty in all its forms: in craftsmanship, architecture, silence, personalised service, art, light, and unhurried time. It is the kind of place that lingers in your memory \u2014 that becomes part of the emotional imprint of a journey.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

At a time when true luxury means feeling at home away from home, Violino d\u2019Oro<\/em> offers precisely that: an intimate, exceptional, and unrepeatable sanctuary that invites you not only to return to Venice, but to experience it in an entirely new way \u2014 more consciously, more deeply, more personally.<\/p>\n
