Isola delle Rose, often mistaken for the sunken micronation in the Adriatic, is actually an enchanting private island situated in the heart of the Venice Lagoon. Originally the site of a hospital and later a respiratory clinic, the island has been transformed into an exclusive luxury resort, the JW Marriott Venice Resort & Spa, retaining its historical charm and its vocation as a sensory and regenerating oasis, just 20 minutes by boat from St. Mark's Square. The island is a tranquil retreat, dominated by the scent of its gardens and roses.
