B&b Venezia Giudecca

The Giudecca is an island in the Venetian Lagoon lying immediately south of the central islands, from which it is separated by the Giudecca Canal. Originally known as the Spinalunga, the island may have been renamed for the Jewish people who settled there. Historically an area of large palaces with gardens, the island became an industrial area in the early twentieth century with shipyards and factories in addition to a film studio. The Giudecca went into decline with the closure of much of the industry after World War II, but is now regarded as an exclusive area in which to live. It is known for its long dock and its churches, including Il Redentore. San Giorgio Maggiore lies off its eastern tip. Breakfast is served by the owner in the lovely dining room. Smokers not allowed, Animals presence.Content provided courtesy of the property. The property is solely responsible for the accuracy of the information provided.
