Palazzo Gritti Badoer

A historic residence in Venice

The charm of a 15th-century residence, enriched with original stuccoes, period furnishings and large 18th-century paintings, makes this historic home an exclusive place to stay in Venice.

A striking example of Gothic-Byzantine architecture, the building’s façade overlooks a picturesque Venetian square. It is here that the Church of San Giovanni in Bragora stands, where Antonio Vivaldi, the famous composer of The Four Seasons, was baptised.

At Palazzo dei Badoari-Partecipazi FORMERLY Gritti

A thousand-year history

In the splendid and luminous main hall of the piano nobile of Palazzo dei Badoari-Partecipazi (formerly Gritti), the grandeur of the Serenissima Republic of Venice still resonates. The palace, once owned by the noble Gritti family and home to Doge Andrea Gritti (1523–1538), passed in 1591 to the Morosini family through the marriage of Lucrezia Gritti and Tommaso Morosini. In 1729, it finally became the property of the Badoer family, who consolidated its ownership.

Today, this historic residence houses the hotel, preserving centuries of Venetian history. Overlooking the picturesque Campo Bandiera e Moro (also known as Campo della Bragora), the residence is adorned with fine stuccoes and valuable original 18th-century Venetian paintings, such as the large canvases by Giuseppe Diamantini and Antonio Molinari. A place of charm and relaxation, where guests can unwind and immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the Venetian patrician families who once thrived in this historic residence.
