El legendario Hotel Danieli ofrece vistas a la laguna de Venecia y se encuentra a 200 metros de la plaza de San Marco

(Español / English)

El Hotel Danieli, situado en Venecia, es un lugar cargado de historia y lujo. Su origen se remonta al siglo XIV, cuando fue construido por la noble familia Dandolo. Este emblemático hotel se compone de tres palacios interconectados, cada uno con su propia historia:

Palacio Danieli Excelsior: Data del siglo XX.

Palacio Casa Nuova: Construido en el siglo XIX, fue inicialmente la sede del tesoro.

Palazzo Dandolo: Este edificio de estilo gótico veneciano, que data de finales del siglo XIV, es el corazón del Hotel Danieli. Fue mandado construir por el dux Andrea Dandolo y domina la Riva degli Schiavoni.

El palacio Dandolo, decorado con oro, marfiles y objetos bizantinos, fue considerado "el más noble de la Serenissima" por su arquitectura gótica y su posición privilegiada en la laguna. A lo largo de los siglos, el hotel ha alojado a reyes, príncipes, cardenales, embajadores y personajes famosos. Entre ellos, Charles Dickens, Wagner, Balzac, Proust y Chaplin.

Sin embargo, algunas de las historias más intrigantes están relacionadas con las pasiones amorosas que tuvieron lugar entre sus muros. Por ejemplo, la larga historia de amor entre la famosa actriz Eleonora Duse y el poeta Gabriele d'Annunzio comenzó en el Hotel Danieli en 1895. En 1933, la habitación número 10 fue escenario de un apasionado y escandaloso romance entre George Sand (seudónimo de Amandine-Lucie-Aurore Dupin) y Alfred de Musset.

Además, el hotel fue testigo del encuentro entre Aristóteles Onassis y la famosa soprano Maria Callas en 1957. Su historia de amor, que duró diez años, comenzó aquí mismo, durante un baile organizado por Wally Toscanini.

El Hotel Danieli sigue encantando a los visitantes con su fachada rosa, sus torreones blancos y sus balcones abovedados, símbolos de la riqueza cultural veneciana. Un lugar cargado de historia, lujo y romanticismo en el corazón de Venecia .

Overlooking the Venice Lagoon, the legendary Hotel Danieli is 200 metres from St Mark’s Square

The Hotel Danieli, located in Venice, is a place steeped in history and luxury. Its origin dates back to the XIV century, when it was built by the noble Dandolo family. This iconic hotel is composed of three interconnected palaces, each with its own unique history:

Danieli Excelsior Palace: Dating back to the XX century.

Palazzo Casa Nuova: Built in the XIXth century, it was initially the seat of the treasury.

Palazzo Dandolo: This Venetian Gothic-style building, dating back to the late 14th century, is the heart of the Hotel Danieli. It was commissioned by Doge Andrea Dandolo and overlooks the Riva degli Schiavoni.

Palazzo Dandolo, decorated with gold, marmi and Byzantine artefacts, was considered "the noblest of the Serenissima" for its Gothic architecture and privileged position on the lagoon. Over the centuries, the hotel has hosted kings, princes, cardinals, ambassadors and famous people. Famous guests include Charles Dickens, Wagner, Balzac, Proust and Chaplin.

However, some of the most intriguing stories are related to the amorous passions that took place within its walls. For instance, the long love affair between the famous actress Eleonora Duse and the poet Gabriele d'Annunzio began at the Hotel Danieli in 1895. In 1933, room number 10 was the scene of a passionate and scandalous affair between George Sand (pseudonym of Amandine-Lucie-Aurore Dupin) and Alfred de Musset.

Furthermore, the hotel witnessed the meeting between Aristotle Onassis and the famous soprano Maria Callas in 1957. Their love affair, which lasted a full ten years, began right here, during a ball organised by Wally Toscanini.

The Hotel Danieli continues to enchant visitors with its pink façade, white turrets and arched balconies, symbols of Venetian cultural richness. A place steeped in history, luxury and romance in the heart of Venice .

Cosa pensi del fatto che i turisti ora debbano prenotare e pagare un biglietto di 5 euro per entrare a Venezia?

Penso che se fosse così facile risolvere un problema mondiale come quello del turismo di massa, sarebbe già bell'e finito.

Non conosco nel dettaglio tutti i punti ma da quel che ho letto:

1. Non pagano i residenti in Veneto

Durante il weekend mezzo Veneto va a fare la "passeggiata" a Venezia perché tanto tutte le altre province sono vicine, massimo 1 oretta di macchina e ti fai un giro coi controcoglioni in una bella città. Ergo, tra Sabato e Domenica tra Piazza San Marco e Riva degli Schiavoni c'è così tanta gente che se non stai attento ti schianti con qualcuno.

2. Non paga chi pernotta nel centro storico di Venezia

Venezia è già un albergo di per sé (famoso il conteggio degli alloggi che ha superato quello dei residenti nella libreria Marco Polo), questa soluzione non aiuta per niente chi a Venezia ci abita e ci vive.

3. Per i turisti internazionali e nazionali che vengono da lontano, 5€ sono una nullità che vale la pena spendere per una città come Venezia.

In definitiva, cosa ha risolto Brugnaro? Si è messo qualche altro milione nella sacca da spendere per cretinaggini con la scusa di fare bene alla città. Easy peasy.

Venice, Italy, the floating city, is a place that captures the imagination with its intricate canals, vibrant colours, and rich history. It is a city unlike any other, where the boundaries between land and water blur, and the past and present intermingle. Venice is a city that can only be described as magical, with its narrow alleyways, charming bridges, and ornate architecture. It is a city that has inspired countless artists, poets, and writers over the centuries, and continues to do so today.

The heart of Venice is Piazza San Marco, a bustling square that has served as the city's main gathering place for centuries. Here, visitors can marvel at the stunning Basilica di San Marco, with its Byzantine domes and intricate mosaics. They can stroll along the nearby Riva degli Schiavoni, a waterfront promenade that offers breath-taking views of the lagoon and the city's many islands. Or they can simply sit and watch the world go by, enjoying the lively atmosphere and the sound of the bells ringing from the nearby campanile.

Beyond the main square, Venice is a city of endless wonders, with hidden corners and unexpected surprises at every turn. Visitors can wander through the winding streets of the Castello district, where they'll find charming cafés, artisan shops, and beautiful churches. They can cross the famous Rialto Bridge, a symbol of Venice's commercial history, and explore the lively markets that surround it. Or they can venture to the quieter neighbourhoods of Cannaregio and Dorsoduro, where they'll find peaceful canals, elegant palazzi, and hidden gardens.

But perhaps the true magic of Venice lies in its canals, the lifeblood of the city. The canals are what give Venice its unique character, and they are best experienced by boat. Visitors can take a leisurely gondola ride through the narrow waterways, admiring the colourful buildings and ornate bridges that line the canals. They can explore the city's many islands, each with its own distinct personality and charm. And they can watch the sunset over the lagoon, as the light shimmers on the water and the city takes on a golden glow.

In Venice, time seems to stand still. The city's rich history is evident everywhere, from the grand palaces that line the canals to the hidden courtyards and alleyways that hint at the city's secrets. It is a place where the past and present coexist, where ancient traditions and modern life merge. It is a place that invites contemplation, reflection, and inspiration.

To visit Venice is to enter a world of enchantment, where the beauty of the city's architecture, art, and culture transports visitors to another time and place. It is a city that has captured the hearts of millions over the centuries and continues to captivate and inspire today. Venice is not just a destination, but a journey into a realm of beauty, wonder, and magic.

Hello, Rose. :) I'm sorry if I'm mistaken but I have the impression you've been to Venice somewhat recently (probably before pandemic, but still). If so, if you don't mind me asking, how did you get from the airport (if it were the case) to the city centre? Any other recs? If everything goes according to the plan I am to go there at the end of the month. Thanks in advance. :)

Oooh Venice! That is so lovely. I haven't actually been for over 10 years now (yikes!!) but I used to live there as a child and visited many times since so I do know it very well. In terms of getting from the airport to the city centre, I've always just got the public bus from outside the airport to Piazzale Roma which is the only part of Venice accessible to motor vehicles. You can get a water taxi I believe but I expect that's really expensive. The bus ride is not the comfiest but it's convenient and affordable. When you get to Piazzale Roma you can get a vaporetto (water bus) down the Grand Canal to wherever you need to go or proceed on foot. Most of the time you will be on foot unless you want to take the extremely expensive water taxies (I've literally never taken one) and there are lots of bridges so I'd bear that in mind when considering packing.

A lot of my food and drink recs are decades out of date, but here are a few things I wouldn't miss in terms of sight-seeing:

Piazza San Marco including the Basilica, Doge's Palace and Campanile. I recommend going up the Campanile on a clear, bright day. You can see as far as the Alps on a good day! That was one of my favourite things to do in Venice. Go back to the piazza in the evening with an ice-cream and watch the musicians. (Better to do that and have a wander between the different cafes than actually have a drink at the cafes - they're super expensive and you're stuck in one spot.)

Accademia art gallery

Scuola Dalmata di San Giorgio degli Schiavoni - tiny but the paintings are amazing. As featured prominently in my fanfic Consolation Prize. :P

Take a day to get the boat to Torcello and Burano. Torcello has an ancient church and is just incredibly remote and peaceful. Burano is extremely pretty with brightly coloured houses.

Walk all the way along the Riva degli Schiavoni from Piazza San Marco right down to Giardini - that's where the Biennale is held and one of the only real green spaces in Venice. The atmosphere feels different down there. Return via Arsenale.

Go to the Zattere - on the other side of the Grand Canal from San Marco - combine this with the Accademia perhaps. It's a lovely walk along the Canale della Giudecca and much less crowded than the Riva degli Schiavoni. You can also hop on a vaporetto here to the Giudecca and have a wander there, though I admit I don't know that area very well.

Visit the Ghetto in Canareggio, the old Jewish quarter. You'll notice the houses are so much taller than elsewhere in the city because of the need to fit so many people in. I'm pretty sure there's an old Synagogue you can visit but tbh I can't remember.

Other lovely churches beyond San Marco are the Frari, Santi Giovanni e Paulo, Santa Maria dei Miracoli.

Nice campi to sit in with an aperitivo - Santa Margarita, Santa Maria Formosa, Santo Stefano, Erberia by the Rialto (also go there in the morning for the fish and veg market)

That's all I can think of at the moment! I hope you have the most FABULOUS time! Do you know where you're staying yet? My primary school friend's family owns a hotel which I can recommend you if you like! I am feeling so sad/happy/nostalgic now. It's been so long since I've been there but I don't know if I can go back because when I do it won't be there same. It would be like stepping into a memory but the place and I will have changed so much... It's almost better to preserve the memories untouched, you know? But at the same time, I long for it. I can feel Venice in my very bones. It is the most deeply held and profoundly important part of my soul!
