Il Palladio Hotel & Spa

For those who tramping around Venice for the annual art shows and glamour events, here’s a tip: rejuvenate and reenergize your body and mind with a spa treatment at THe BAUERs Il Palladio Hotel & Spa.

Il Palladio just reopened for the season with a new and exciting addition to their facilities: The opening of the first Hair Spa in Venice, which offers a variety of enriching, healing and revitalizing treatments for both scalp and hair. This new dream therapy includes a scalp mask followed by a Feng Shui massage, designed to achieve total harmony between body and soul.

Many of the Spa’s luxurious rooms have private working fireplaces, Jacuzzis and steam rooms, in which guests can pick among treatments that offer champagne, fresh fruit and live musical accompaniment.
Word has it, the spa is painted in soft and soothing pastel tones, and the architecture retains many of its original and historic features, in keeping with the rest of the hotel’s style.

Il Palladio Hotel & Spa inhabits a palazzo designed by world-renowned Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio in the 16th Century, and is today one of the stunning properties of The BAUERs group. Located on Giudecca Island, across the Grand Canal from St. Mark’s Square, Il Palladio boasts private gardens in full bloom each spring, contributing to the calming scenery that makes this estate an ideal retreat away from the bustle of Venice and the crowds of the Biennale.

Not a bad way to spend a few hours–or a week. SPECIAL SPA EXPERIENCES Upon request, Il Palladio offers treatments in their gorgeous SPA’s relaxation room that looks out on the breathtaking view of Piazza S. Marco. It is also possible to receive a private treatment in the beautiful garden gazebo, surrounded by lush vegetation and singing birds.
