Corte di Gabriela is a 19th-century palazzo, but there’s nothing traditional about its 11 rooms, which inventively play with the palace's historic features. Frescoed ceilings and terrazzo floors meet with contemporary design pieces, high-spec gadgets and a modern colour palette. The central wisteria-draped courtyard is super romantic and the lavish breakfast is one of the best in Venice.
