Food & Drink

• Sky Bar - offering drop-dead-gorgeous, panoramic views over Venice, it's the perfect spot for a cheeky Aperol Spritz before heading out to dinner. If this doesn't belong on your Instagram story, I don't know what does.

• Breakfast - now, the Italians know how to eat. Here you've got a jam-packed (literally) spread of continental dishes and cooked breakfasts of eggs, bacon, bagels and bruschetta. If you're after a caffeine kick the Italian way, there's cappuccinos, espressos and Americanos.

• Sample some proper Italian specialities at two restaurants located at sister hotels, Palazzo Stern and Locanda Vivaldi. Santa Chiara will even throw in a FREE one-way boat trip to the restaurants.
