Isola di San Clemente is a private island located in the southern part of the Venice Lagoon, famous for hosting a luxurious five-star hotel, the San Clemente Palace Kempinski, which arose from the restoration of an ancient monastic complex. This island, rich in history dating back to the 12th century (with the Camaldolese Monastery), is an oasis of peace and privacy. It offers an exclusive retreat from the crowds of Venice, while remaining easily accessible with a complimentary shuttle service to St. Mark's Square. The atmosphere is that of a historic Venetian residence, with large parks and gardens overlooking the lagoon.
