The Abadessa is surrounded by five centuries of Venetian history, which is more than evident as you enter.… The elaborately decorated interior is so striking, with its elegant antique furniture and chandeliers made from special Murano glass. Frescoes from the 17th century adorn the silk and " trompe l’oeil " covered walls make this a magical fairy tale setting.…Elegant and spacious rooms with communicating doors, with sitting rooms upholstered in velvet, original Venetian glass mirrors from the 18th century, artisan antique furniture and as if all that wasn’t enough, they feature the original Venetian marble floors.
