The San Clemente Palace is one of the most unusual hotels in Venice. The five-star luxury property occupies the site of the former Camaldolesi Monastery on the 17-acre island of San Clemente in the Venetian Lagoon. It opened in 2003 under the management of the Turin Hotels International Group, and its general manager--Signor Maurizio D'Este--is a native Venetian who has managed other luxury hotels in Venice.

The San Clemente Palace is open year-round for individual guests, groups, and conferences. It's especially appealing in the summer months, when the tranquil island offers a respite from the heat and crowds of Venice's historic center.
