A private design loft on the water, offering a different way to experience Venice, even during the quieter winter months.

Your Private Loft on the Water

AQVA is not a conventional hotel and not a traditional boat. It is a contemporary floating loft on the Venetian Lagoon, designed for those looking for privacy, comfort and a truly different kind of stay.

With three sleeping cabins, a living area, kitchen and private bathroom, AQVA accommodates up to six overnight guests.

The entire loft is exclusively yours.

Large windows bring the lagoon into your everyday experience, while the thoughtfully designed interiors offer a comfortable private retreat after a day exploring Venice.

A Different Way to Experience Winter in Venice

During the winter months, AQVA can be enjoyed as a private floating residence, even when moored at the marina.

You don't need to sail to enjoy the experience.

Wake up overlooking the water, enjoy a leisurely breakfast, spend time in the living area or simply watch the changing colours of the lagoon throughout the day.

No hotel reception, no shared guest spaces, no fixed schedule. Just your own private space, surrounded by water.

What Does a Winter Day on AQVA Look Like?

There is no fixed itinerary. That's part of the appeal.

Morning

Wake up overlooking the lagoon, enjoy breakfast on board and take your time getting ready for the day.

Afternoon

Explore Venice, visit an exhibition, wander through its neighbourhoods or enjoy a long lunch in the city. When you return, your private loft will be waiting.

Evening

Come back on board, arrange a private dinner or simply relax in the living area. AQVA offers a more intimate and private alternative to a conventional hotel stay.

What About Sailing During Winter?

Winter doesn't necessarily mean staying moored.

When weather and lagoon conditions are favourable, AQVA can still navigate, offering the opportunity to experience Venice and its surroundings directly from the water.

However, winter weather can be unpredictable. Wind, rain and changing conditions may occasionally make sailing unsuitable. For this reason, navigation is always subject to actual weather conditions and safety requirements and cannot be guaranteed in advance.

Even when AQVA remains moored, the experience is complete in itself: a private design loft on the lagoon, with all the comfort and privacy of your own space.

You can enjoy the best of both possibilities: the freedom of navigating when conditions allow, and the pleasure of a private stay on the water when they don't.

Make Your Stay Personal

AQVA offers the possibility of adding experiences to your time on board, subject to availability and advance arrangements.

Private lunches, dinners and aperitivo.
Private chef experiences.
Yoga and wellness activities.
Special celebrations and private occasions.
Personalised experiences designed around your stay.

Whether you're planning a romantic escape, an anniversary or a few days away with friends, the entire loft is reserved exclusively for you.

Is AQVA the Right Winter Stay for You?

AQVA is designed for travellers who appreciate contemporary design, privacy and unusual accommodation.

It is particularly suited to couples, design lovers and small groups looking for something beyond the traditional hotel experience.

If your main reason for booking is a guaranteed daily boat excursion, a winter stay may not be the right choice. But if you want to experience Venice from a private space directly on the water, AQVA offers something genuinely different.
