AMAN VENICE
History & Story
The Palazzo was built in the 16th century by the Coccina family and became the seat of the Papadopoli family during the 19th century. The Piano Nobile, on the second floor, features frescoes, beautiful mirrors and chandeliers, creating a unique and enchanting atmosphere. A historic library can be found on the fourth floor, alongside a lofty-ceilinged lounge with a grand piano and views of the Grand Canal. The third floor is dedicated to the Spa, whilst guests who climb to the fifth floor will find a terrace overlooking the roofs of Venice. A rarity in Venice, the property also features two beautiful gardens, one of which faces the Grand Canal and offers a wonderful place to enjoy the magical Venetian atmosphere.
