Palazzetto
Orfeo
An exclusive whole-property hire. Four suites. A private altana. The Venice the Venetians kept for themselves.
A private palazzo for those who seek something beyond
Behind a discreet 16th-century façade on the quiet canal of Giudecca, the Palazzetto Orfeo opens only to those who reserve it entirely.
Four floors of uncompromising character — a private water gate, a rooftop altana, a courtyard touched by centuries. Not a hotel. A home, loaned for a moment.
Four floors of uncompromising character
Each room has been kept as it was found — or restored with fidelity to its period. Frescoed ceilings, terrazzo floors, Murano glass. No polish. No pretence.
Four suites, four personalities
Each room is a singular work — no two alike, each one a curation of Venetian art and antique furniture.
Venice at your feet, the lagoon without end
High above the rooftops of Giudecca, the altana — Venice’s traditional timber roof terrace — offers one of the most breathtaking private panoramas in the city. The Salute, San Giorgio Maggiore, the Grand Canal, the open lagoon stretching towards the Adriatic.
As the sun descends behind the domes, the city turns gold. The champagne is already chilled.
