Former residence of Duke of Venice., the imposing Gritti Palazzo has hosted a long list of eminent figures.
Heads of state, writers, important film and music artists like Winston Churchill, Ernest Hemingway and Greta Garbo rested here.
The over 82 apartments and the luxury room decorated in unmistakable Venetian style have over 500 years of existence.
