Owned by the noble Savoia-Arrivabene family (which today still lives on the top floor), Aman Venice cannot possibly be defined a hotel, but rather a private home of only 24 rooms. Guests, in fact, are encouraged to enjoy every corner of the luxurious building in total relaxation, from the stunning frescoed lounges to the roof terrace, totally free to choose where (and when) to have breakfast, lunch, dinner, or an unforgettable Sunday brunch in the garden open from May to October.
