This magnificient architecture in Venice, former palace of the Dandolo family, also housed during the 15th century the earliest "Ridotto" of the city, a sort of retreat for patricians and lower-class people looking for different kinds of leisure: courtesans, gambles, brawls and political plots. The structure has a rich and picaresque past and Giacomo Casanova especially enjoyed it, being one of its famous and frequent visitors. A more sober yet equally rich atmosphere exudes now from these renovated walls, brought back to their original glory, which contain a luxury hotel equipped with the latest amenities.
