Alla Giudecca

Located in the old Jewish quarter, Alla Giudecca's highlights are its Arabesque courtyard and communal areas, a warren of vaulted rooms graced with museum-quality antiques, tapestries and chic, cosy sofas. Rooms are simply, tastefully decorated, with terracotta-tiled floors, exposed wood beams and lashings of heavy white linen; a few more expensive rooms have sea views. Service can be patchy.
