Assembled by Napoleon, the Accademia Gallery of Venice is one of the world's greatest art treasurehouses, and includes pieces by world-famous artists such as Bellini, Canaletto, Tintoretto, Titian and Leonardo da Vinci. This beautiful Palladio building with its central courtyard has been the subject of major refurbishment and following extensive restoration thirty new rooms were inaugurated in December 2013.   

A short stroll from the gallery, and housed in a 15th century Moorish Palace, is the Palazzo Stern Hotel which Classic Collection Holidays offers from £629 per person* for 3 nights in March. The lovingly restored and stylish designer hotel offers its guests a rooftop Jacuzzi, which can be exclusively reserved, with spectacular views and a garden terrace from which to take breakfast and enjoy stunning canal vistas.
