Hotel dell’Opera, Italy

• Central Venice: For lovers of olde-worlde Venetian glamour, this historic bolthole just minutes from St Mark’s Square is the ideal base for scaling the city’s architectural treasures. You’ll also be just around the corner from the Teatro La Fenice opera house and a short walk from the stone-arched Rialto Bridge - the oldest of the four bridges spanning the Grand Canal.

• Rooftop relaxation: The self-service rooftop honesty bar is a chilled space with glorious city views from the terrace. Open 24 hours, it’s stocked with beers, wines, and a selection of non-alcoholic drinks for holiday toasts anytime of the day or night.

• Italian style: The individually designed, elegant guest rooms assure a sophisticated mix of glass, wood, stone, tasteful antique furnishings, and lavish textiles. Each has a comfortable bed dressed with refined linen, flatscreen TV with satellite channels, minibar, and en-suite with shower. Pick a room with a wonderful canal view for a quintessential Venetian experience.
