Liassidi Palace Hotel housed in a wonderful Zorzi-Liassìdi building, an elegant example of Venetian gothic architecture, is an excellent accommodation choice cl;ose to all that Venice has to offer. The name Liassìdi is that of the Cypriot family who owned the building until the beginning of the 1900's. Another connection links its history to the island of Cyprus: in 1436, it was purchased by the Zorzi – Corner (Cornaro) Family who, from the beginning of the 1500's, played a primary role in the economic and political life of the Republic of Venice, numbering, among their members, the famous Caterina Cornaro who was the queen of Cyprus. Thanks to the Zorzi-Corner Family the building became very famous, arousing the admiration of the famous architect Jacopo Sansovino (1486 -1570).
