Un passage secret qui mène de la Salle de la Musique à l’ancien Casino Sagredo, aujourd’hui transformé en deux suites élégantes pour les invités, la Salle du Tiepolo où l’on peut admirer la toile du grand peintre vénitien ainsi que les spectacles théâtraux de la série « Shakespeare en Vénétie » dans les somptueuses salles du palais.
Donnant sur le Grand Canal, entre la Ca’ D’Oro et le Pont du Rialto, le Palais du XVe siècle a été reconnu monument national et conserve encore intacte, après cinq siècles d’histoire, la beauté d’une ancienne demeure patricienne dont les 42 chambres en sont le témoignage. La Terrasse du Restaurant l’Alcova, donnant sur le Grand Canal, est la quintessence des paysages vénitiens.
The Sagredo Casino
From the Music Room a small door leads, through a secret passage, to the Arts Room composed of a series of rooms decorated with stuccoes and bas-reliefs depicting birds, exotic animals, symbols of the arts, and trophies. These rooms once housed the Sagredo Casino and from them two elegant guest suites have been created, complete with a small living room. The decoration of the alcove room is currently preserved at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
A curiosity: the surname Sagredo derives from the word “secret,” as it was said that the family was secretly an advisor to the emperor, having distant Roman origins. Governors of Dalmatia, the Sagredos would have arrived in Venice in the 9th century where they joined the Great Council in 1100 for having brought the city of Šibenik back under the dominion of the Serenissima.
The Tiepolo Room
Guests, as well as tourists visiting Venice, can visit this room that houses a canvas by Giambattista Tiepolo dating back to around 1740. The painting, in which two cherubs in flight can still be distinguished, probably depicted a tribute to Venice.
“Shakespeare in Veneto”
The Ca’ Sagredo Hotel in Venice hosts one of the stops of the traveling theater festival “Shakespeare in Veneto” to relive, 400 years after the poet’s death, the words of Shakespeare, in the original language (English). “Othello” will be performed on October 26, November 16 and 30, and December 7. Start time: 7:00 PM. Price: 45.00 euros. Upon arrival, spectators will be offered a welcome cocktail. At the end of the show, a dinner with a Shakespearean menu is offered at the cost of 65.00 euros per person, drinks excluded.
With the chef at the market
Chef Damiano Bassano from Ca’ Sagredo Hotel accompanies tourists to discover the colors and flavors of the city at the historic Rialto market: he teaches how to shop and buy the best local products, just like true Venetians. Spending the morning among the stalls to find seasonal vegetables and quality raw materials becomes a useful and fun experience. And then the lesson continues in the kitchen. Here you learn to fillet fish and clean shellfish. This way “moeche,” mantis shrimp, and lobsters can also be prepared at home. At the stove, various cooking techniques are tried, secrets of the chef are stolen with the eye, and finally, you sit at the table to eat what you have prepared.
