VENICE. “in residence”

Where architecture whispers, light performs, and elegance resides between the water and the sky.

Venice is a city that resists the ordinary.
It asks you to move slower, look closer, and choose with intention.
Amid palazzi and canals, there are countless hotels — yet only a rare few carry the kind of intelligence, restraint, and sculptural chicness that speak to the CASTELLAINES sensibility.

This selection is not about prestige or popularity.
It is about distinction — places where beauty is curated, not displayed; where design carries meaning; where atmosphere lingers long after you leave.

These are addresses for travellers who appreciate:

  • architecture over ornament

  • intimacy over grandeur

  • culture over cliché

  • and the quiet, modern nobility of spaces that breathe

Venice has many legends.
These are the ones that feel aligned with the present, shaped for those who seek elegance without excess and luxury without performance.

Welcome to a Venice that lives in nuance and distinction —
the Venice of CASTELLAINES.

Violino d’Oro is Venice reimagined: light, fresh, contemporary, and serenely elegant.
Completely reinvented, it offers everything the modern connoisseur wants — craftsmanship, calm, and effortless chicness — without the heaviness so common in Venetian interiors.

Its charm lies in the details:

  • soft palettes that mirror the lagoon

  • artisanal finishes

  • a breakfast room that feels like a private salon

  • suites that feel tailored rather than decorated

It is the kind of place where beauty is curated, not performed — a perfect fit for the CASTELLAINES world.

The mood:
A refined little jewel — intimate, aesthetic, and beautifully composed.
