Donà Palace in Venezia.
Donà Palace offers a logistical advantage that matters: your guests can sleep steps from your ceremony.
This 4-star hotel in Venice's San Marco district provides both event space and accommodation under one roof, eliminating the hunt for separate venues.
The 16th-century palazzo delivers Venetian grandeur without requiring guests to navigate multiple locations across the city's labyrinthine streets.
The location is great, just a few steps from SM Square. Of course, like everything in Venice, it needs additional measures to maintain cleanliness. But it's clear to the naked eye that local restaurants and shops are disappearing (or rather, have already done so). Authentic Italian cuisine is hard to find. It's sad (((
