how to get there

SUSTAINABILITY
During the meticulous restoration of the historic Venetian palace, with some parts of the building dating back to the 13th century, many of the original features were maintained including the door frames, flooring, statues, and ground floor ceiling in addition to the ancient trees in the garden. Guests are encouraged to explore the lagoon by rowing boat or on board hybrid electrical water taxis. In Ca’ di Dio the staff wears WAO NYLONG shoes by Dress to Live company of Riviera del Brenta. The chosen shoe is made of econyl, nylon regenerated from waste such as fishing nets, fabric scraps and industrial plastic. It has the exact same characteristics as virgin nylon, but reduces its impact on global warming by 80%. The desire to support local and sustainable realities is also present in the choice of bio-eco-sustainable sneakers for the staff of Vero. Puraai represents the new culture of sustainable sneakers. Ecological shoes made with recycled materials, ecological processes and expert Italian craftsmen. Puraai combines young design, artisan knowledge and social responsibility, reflecting some of the founding values of the Ca’ di Dio project.
In collaboration with the Rio Terà Social Cooperative of Venice, which invests in work reintegration paths and supports the inclusion of inmates from the Venice prison in a series of social impact projects, Ca’ di Dio sells Malefatte bags and accessories in its boutique which have been made by female inmates using recycled PVC. The hotel purchases local wherever possible, including wine from Tri-Veneto, meat from Montello, and vegetables from St. Erasmo, while guests are invited to visit local Murano glass makers and Dalla Lidia, a historic Burano lace maker, to support the colourful artisan community.
The restaurant is supplied with herbs from the vegetable garden. During the restoration, materials were sourced exclusively from Italy, such as the handcrafted Murano glass lamps, while local craftsmen and artisans specialising in Venetian fine arts followed traditional building methods in the renovation which have been passed down the generations.
Drawing water directly from the lagoon to power its heat exchanger and cooling system, Ca’ di Dio is as innovative it is efficient. These measures are estimated to save 20% of energy (compared to traditional systems), and eliminate roughly 110 tons of CO2 emissions per year.
Tap water is carefully filtered, refreshed, and served in elegant glass bottles
Bespoke bags and stationery stocked in the Ca’ di Dio boutique are made using reclaimed materials from the hotel’s construction – including recycled wallpaper as notebook covers
