Escape the tourist crowds and find tranquility at the Giardini Publici (Public Gardens).
These beautiful gardens provide an ideal setting for a leisurely picnic, a peaceful afternoon of reading, or simply basking in the natural beauty of Venice. With well-maintained lawns, elegant statues, and towering trees, the Giardini Publici offer a welcome respite from the city’s busy streets.
A property might have a resident bison herd as its welcome committee, a flock of friendly flamingos photobombing on the reg, or even an adolescent elephant thinking it’s cool to drink from the pool. Why not? After all, it’s an animal’s world. We’re just living in it. From Alaska to Africa, these 13 hotels and resorts allow you to binge-watch wildlife to your heart’s content.
