Breakfast with a View over St. Mark's Basin

At Locanda Vivaldi, the day begins with Venice unfolding 180 degrees before your eyes. Served on our covered panoramic terrace overlooking Riva degli Schiavoni, our à la carte breakfast is a custom-tailored experience, far removed from an anonymous buffet. With pastries and baked goods prepared fresh every morning, savory dishes cooked to order, and seasonal fruit, every choice accompanies a gaze that drifts from San Giorgio Island to St. Mark's Basin, where boats cross the water and the lagoon light changes hour by hour. In a residence that bears the name of Antonio Vivaldi and boasts one of the most evocative panoramic terraces in Venice, having breakfast becomes an integral part of the experience: the freedom to choose exactly what to bring to your table, sheltered from the wind yet with the entire city right in front of you.

An Aperitif overlooking St. Mark's Basin

After a day spent exploring the campi of Castello or the halls of the Doge's Palace, the panoramic terrace at Locanda Vivaldi is the perfect place to pause. Each evening, it becomes the stage for your aperitif: a 180-degree view over St. Mark's Basin, where the sunset sets San Giorgio Island aglow and the reflections stretch across the water all the way to Riva degli Schiavoni. The à la carte menu features spritz, selected cocktails, and a choice of Prosecco and Venetian wines to be savored slowly, without haste. All around you, the silhouette of Venice’s bell towers and domes reminds you exactly where you are: not in just any bar, but on the highest terrace of a historic home named after Antonio Vivaldi, with the entire city at your feet. The finest way to close the day before Venice lights up for the night.

A Gastronomic Experience on the Highest Terrace in Venice

Dining at the Prete Rosso restaurant means choosing a table with the widest view over Venice. The panoramic terrace of Locanda Vivaldi opens up 180 degrees over St. Mark's Basin: before you lies San Giorgio Island, the sequence of domes and bell towers that illuminates as evening falls, and the boats gliding across the water in the distance. The kitchen crafts an à la carte menu that follows the seasons and the produce of the Venetian territory—lagoon fish, seasonal vegetables, and pairings designed for those who wish to dine exquisitely without ever taking their eyes off the landscape. Outside, Venice does what it does best: changing colors with the light, coming alive with voices and reflections, and reminding you that you are nowhere else in the world.

The Bar at Santa Chiara

After a day spent discovering secret calli and historic palaces, there is nothing better than indulging in a moment of relaxation at the Hotel Santa Chiara bar. With the reflections of the Grand Canal right before your eyes, a glass of wine or a signature cocktail becomes the perfect setting to slow down and soak in the city’s magic. It is an inviting and elegant retreat where the vibrant energy of Venice meets the tranquility of the waterfront. Whether you are arriving in the city or winding down after an excursion, our bar offers a privileged view and a sophisticated atmosphere, making every sip an essential part of your Venetian experience.

The Palazzo Stern Restaurant

At Locanda Vivaldi, the terrace opens onto the St. Mark’s Basin, offering one of the city's most evocative views: the bell tower, the lagoon, and the infinite horizon. It is the perfect place to be embraced by the timeless beauty of Venice, between a sunset aperitif and an evening under the stars.
