The Garden of the Ss. Redentore
Historic Park
Al Redentore
Our resort has an exclusive view of one of the largest and most historic parks in all of Venice. A garden still inhabited by the Capuchin Friars as it was 500 years ago. It is particularly famous because during the plague epidemic that struck Venice in both 1576 and 1630, the Capuchin Friars were engaged in helping the sick using mainly the medicinal herbs grown in this historic garden.
Herbal

Sage
Sage has stimulating properties for bowel and gallbladder functions. It lowers blood sugar, decreases sweating and is also an effective natural antioxidant. Sage has also a balsamic effect on the respiratory system.
Lavender
Lavender's properties are unique; it's a constituent in cases of weakness, nervous palpitations, or dizziness and spasms. From the folk herbalist tradition comes lavender essential oil, invigorating and nourishing for the body.

The sprigs of Rosemary were burned in the temples of ancient Greece; fumigations of the medicinal plant were used in the Middle Ages to ward off evil spirits and as protection against plague and infectious diseases.
