A quiet corner, a twisting tower, and one unforgettable view.
Tucked away in a sleepy side street of Venice, Palazzo Contarini del Bovolo is a true hidden gem. Its elegant spiral staircase (bovolo) curls skyward like a stone seashell—inviting you into Venice’s more mysterious side.
Climbing its steps, I found arches framing golden light, carved columns whispering of the Renaissance, and finally, a panoramic terrace view that took my breath away. Over rooftops and bell towers, Venice opened up—silent and stunning.
Tip: Arrive early to enjoy the calm, and don’t forget a wide-angle lens—this spot was made for magical shots.
Must-snaps:
• Spiral shot from the courtyard
• Shadowplay in the stairwell arches
• Rooftop views at golden hour
Venice hides its poetry—and this tower is one beautiful stanza.
