“Island-palace serenity, skeleton crew”
San Clemente Palace Kempinski on its own Venetian island is a real gem — a peaceful escape reached by the hotel's water taxi, exceptional grounds, perfect room layouts, outstanding dining with sunset views, tennis and table tennis, and service that delights when staffed. The caveat is a catastrophic shortage of hands: breakfast absorbs everyone so reception and concierge stand empty, the spa feels like an understaffed afterthought, and missing the last evening shuttle leaves you hunting rare water taxis.
