Ca Maria Adele

Venice, Italy

With its Murano chandeliers, flock wallpaper and heavy damask fabrics, the Ca Maria Adele is absolutely Venetian, but its African wood, polished concrete and laid-back, bohemian atmosphere mean it is also undeniably modern. Located right opposite the Salute, it is in the heart of Venice's most tranquil area, the art quarter, and the only other tourists you are likely to come across are lost ones.

Food and drink at Ca Maria Adele

• Hotel restaurant

  Only breakfast is served. Italian-style afternoon tea is available on the terrace, weather permitting.

• Dress code Ducal and decadent.
• Top table Find a spot on the ponyskin sofas in the cosy living room, and take your tea there. You’re almost at water level, so the fascinating view of the nearby bridge and church is unlike any you’ll see from the upper floors.
• Room service A light, limited menu of salads, snacks and tasting plates is available from 11am until 11pm.
• Hotel bar

  You can order evening drinks anywhere in the hotel. We suggest the breakfast room or the Moroccan Terrace on the second floor; in summer, you can have a tipple brought to you outside. After 9pm, there’s an honesty bar, stocked with prosecco, spirits and a selection of soft drinks.
