The house
RadissonFrescoed Renaissance palazzo
The noble residence retains its aristocratic scale, running from double-height frescoed halls down to a quiet garden courtyard.
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Sixteenth-century patrician residence preserved with mythological frescoes and Alessandro Vittoria stuccos.
Notable
Custom contemporary lighting and jewel-toned velvet balance original terrazzo and historic portego salons.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The front doors open directly onto the Cannaregio Canal, and the historic Jewish Ghetto is a short walk away.

The rooms
Rooms contrast original terrazzo floors with deep jewel-toned velvets, illuminated by modern fixtures rather than heavy chandeliers.
The spa
The gym
Technogym cardio machines and free weights sit beneath exposed timber beams and preserved sixteenth-century wall frescoes.
At the table
ZOJA serves lobster paccheri and vintages from a 700-label cellar, with seating indoors and out in the leafy garden.
How it began
The palazzo belonged to the noble Nani family until 1810, before serving as Austrian military barracks and later a public school.
