Location: La Sponda restaurant is part of the iconic and evocative Le Sirenuse hotel in Positano.

That' s the epitome of La Dolce Vita.

Location: a few steps from La Fenice and Piazza San Marco, you will find the iconic The Gritti Palace and, inside, the Club del Doge restaurant.

If the sumptuous rooms full of history are not for you, outside you will find another kind of luxury: the spectacular dehors overlooking the Grand Canal, right in front of the Basilica of Santa Maria della Salute.
