Guglie) Surprise: along a tranquil Ghetto lane and behind a rosy, historic facade is Venice's
most original artists' retreat. Continental breakfasts are served in the palm-shaded garden
near the Orsoni mosaic works, located here since 1885 - hence the custom mosaics glitter-
ing across walls, bathrooms and tables. Find artistic bliss in five guest rooms, or join
Venetian crowds mid-toast around the corner.
