The hotel experience
Swimming pool, golf and tennis in the heart of Venice
The large, centuries-old park contains a Beauty & Wellness Club, tennis courts, a scenic outdoor swimming pool, and a pitch & putt golf course to offer the hotel’s exclusive clientele a chance to unwind in contact with nature.
The San Clemente Palace Hotel & Resort is a few minutes away by motorboat from St. Mark’s square (10 min). A shuttle service from and to Piazza San Marco, on elegant wooden boats, is provided by the hotel round the clock.
From there, Venice’s major museums can be reached either on foot, in vaporetto or by taxi. A gondola ride is the most romantic and “Venetian” way to appreciate the city’s artistic splendour and immense historical heritage. Venice is an infinite storehouse of masterworks of art and architecture to discover.
Visiting the island
A patchwork of greenery interspersed with quiet courtyards and centuries-old trees makes the luxury five-star San Clemente Palace Hotel & Resort a little natural oasis. Two thirds of the island’s 50,000 square metres still remain as open space, green connecters between the different wings of the hotel.
Although little has remained of these ancient plots, great care has been taken to maintain and respect the original aspect of the natural areas. The park, which offers views of Giudecca and San Marco, still has the hilly conformation and the same types of vegetation as in the past – the perfumed, stately lindens that inspired the fragrance “San Clemente Palace”, exclusively created by Laura Tonatto, cypresses, elms, lindens, and nettle trees.
The internal spaces of the San Clemente Palace are punctuated by numerous open courtyards, including the Corte dell’Orologio, centred around the old well, enriched with plays of water and prized terracotta vases made by the Fornace Impruneta.
