Venixino Lounge & Garden serves fine drinks, either inside the Lounge Bar or in the indoor garden setting. The hotel also provides a private terrace, which offers striking views over the roofs of Venice. The Secret Garden offers a tranquil retreat for quiet evenings surrounded by a rare, hidden atmosphere.
