I don't which I prefer more - the stupendous Tintorettos or the wonderful woodcarvings in the upstairs hall. I send friends here all the time and they never ceased to be amazed. Just last month I had a friend say he preferred it to the Sistine Chapel!

A remarkable place to visit with paintings within paintings, wood carvings, and beautiful walls and flooring. Take a guide with you as you will want to know the "inside" stiry of many of the paintings.

This was the first place of interest we visited while in Venice. My girlfriend and I remained impressed. We recommend you start the tour from the first floor. The paintings by Tintoretto are amazing, well-preserved, although not well lit. Mirrors are available to aid in observing the paintings found on the ceiling. The woodwork is also very intricate.

This large over the top building holds the greatest works by Tintoretto. It's a bit much to take in, but well worth the effort. However, my favourite bit was the carvings in wood in the upper hall. The figures look as if they are about to lift themselves out of the walls.

Another MUST DO on our list. See our detailed reviews on the hotel and restaurant experiences. Doing anything here - earlier in the morning, will free up your queue waits and more enjoyable with less crowds. Key - do just before high season in March / April and avoid Italian summer heat. Lots of walking.

Yes, this is as good as the photos. Do not miss! Use the mirrors and printed guides to learn more about the paintings.
