About
The Jewish Community of Venice is glad to welcome its guests to the only kosher residence of the city,
ideally located in the oldest and best preserved Jewish Ghetto of Europe,
right in front of the Jewish Museum and Synagogues and within walking distance to all the most important tourist and cultural sites and also Santa Lucia train station, the bus station, the cruise ship port and the vaporetto (public water bus).
The location of the Kosher House Giardino dei Melograni, in the historic centre but off of the most crowded streets, lends a sense of peace to the city's charm.
The marvellous pomegranate garden, in Hebrow pomegranate is rimonim, that leads to the building, rapresents an exclusive and unique space, where you can spend pleasant and relaxing moments. The pomegranate in Jewish tradition is a symbole of prosperity and wealth. The 600 seeeds it contains remind us of the 613 Mitzwoth.
Giardino dei Melograni is a fully refurbished boutique hotel in Venice, located in the heart of the Jewish ghetto, in a very old building that belongs to the Jewish community and served as an old age home for 200 or so years.
The hotel is in a unique location, only a few minutes away from the Jewish museum.
The hotel is a great place for Shabbat, not only because of the meals. The fact that Venice is one of the only European cities that have an eruv, around the Ghetto makes the stay on Shabbat much more convenient.
The hotel offers a full kosher chalav israel daily breakfast.
The Kosher le mehadrin Hotel is under the supervision of the Chief rabbi of the Jewish Community of Venice Rav Ghili Benyamin.
There are five synagogues located in the heart of the jewish ghetto, and there is also a jewish museum.

Activities & entertainment
Built in 1561, Venice s Ghetto is the oldest in the world. Over the centuries, it has preserved its characteristic architecture of tall, many-storied buildings that accommodated the large population. The six synagogues were built between the early 16th to mid 17th centuries by the Ghetto s various Jewish communities: the Ashkenazi Tedesca and Canton Scholas synagogues, the Italian Schola, and the Sephardic Levantine and Spanish Scholas. These buildings are important monuments of Jewish history, art, and faith.
Today the Ghetto is the center for Jewish religious and administrative institutions in addition to the synagogues. Next to the hotel is the Jewish Museum, with its extensive collection of traditional artifacts. Secluded from the tourist hustle and bustle, the neighborhood is remarkably peaceful. Yet it lays just steps from the vaporettos that take you in only 10 minutes to the Rialto Bridge, St. Marks Square, Murano the island of glass, and to some of Venice s most famous palazzos and museums.
A few minutes away on foot from the hotel, you may reach Strada Nova, the long, lively walkway that leads to Rialto Da d Oro, the marvelous Gothic palazzo overlooking the Canal Grande that houses the Galleria Franchetti, a collection of important Italian and Flemish paintings and Ca Vendramin Calergi, epitome of Venetian Renaissance architecture, today home of the Venice Casino.
