Ca’ Sagredo is home to important works of art—paintings by eminent artists of the 18th and 19th centuries, Sebastiano Ricci, Giambattista Tiepolo, Niccoò Bambini and Pietro Longhi. Even the frescoed ballroom alone, which we can ex- plore, is one of Italy’s recognised national treasures. Ca’ Sagredo is indeed what its owners name ‘A Private Palazzo, a Noble Residence, a Museum, a Luxury Hotel and much more … ’ It has won a place in the 500 Best Hotels in the World by Travel+Leisure and Condé Nast Traveler’s Gold List, and it can truly claim status as one of the world’s great hotels. Together, the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express and Ca’ Sagredo are a magical combination. They offer an experience which promises to take us, not just across Eu- rope but to another world entirely. This promises to be a scintillating, unforgettable journey, a blissful, five-dayspringtime holiday in the lovely month of April—all at exceptional CountryClubuk rates. It will make a special, never-to-be-forgotten anniversary or birthday cel- ebration, or one of those iconic trips to experience in every lifetime.
