PASTICCERIA  ANDREA PANSA

The history of this company is naturally interwoven with the vicissitudes of a family that has proudly guided it for five generations. Founded in 1830 by Andrea Pansa, the Pastry has kept unchanged the fascination conveyed by the nineteenth-century furnishing which still smells of the essence of the Fathers, among those gilded mirrors that still reflect the images of famous people like Ibsen, Wagner, Longfellow and Quasimodo, below the elongated cruises heritage of past glories.

 

In February 2001 Pansa received the prestigious recognition of the registration of the cultural association of the Historical Premises of Italy, because it is rightly considered one of the oldest confectionery production and tasting of the Amalfitan region.

We had this wine, along with a Bottle of the same house's Biancolella

and Casa Ambra Aglianico with our dinner we made at Cassa Sorrento, the beautifuk apartment with a lovely garden we rented on Via Capo, Sorrento, Italy.

The dinner was with my Cousin Antony Bellino, and cousins Marta and Mimo from Salerno and our friend Alan from Lodi. Marta and Mimo served their Mozzarella di Bufala (from their Mozzarella Fattoria in Salerno), they also made tasty Ricotta Ravioli with Black Truffles shaved on top. We also ate Salami and Pecorino, and I made Lamb Chops with roast potatoes for the main. For dessert, Mimo and Marta made fresh Strawberries with Limoncello and walnuts. It was an amazing dinner, and one I'll always cherish.

STORY of The HOTEL DANIELI



The Danieli Hotel, one of the most iconic hotels in Venice, has a rich and fascinating history. The hotel is located in a historic 14th-century palazzo, which was once the residence of the noble Dandolo family. Here’s a closer look at the story of the Danieli Hotel.

The palazzo that houses the Danieli Hotel was built in the early 14th century, and over the years it served as the home of several prominent Venetian families. In the 19th century, the palazzo was purchased by Giuseppe Dal Niel, who transformed it into a hotel named the Hotel Danieli.

The hotel quickly became a popular destination for wealthy travelers and aristocrats, who were drawn to its luxurious decor, exceptional service, and prime location in the heart of Venice. Over the years, the hotel played host to a number of famous guests, including Richard Wagner, Charles Dickens, and Henry James.

In the early 20th century, the hotel was purchased by the Società delle Nazioni, which hired the architect Francesco Marsich to oversee a major renovation. Marsich added a third building to the hotel, and created a stunning internal courtyard that is still one of the hotel’s most distinctive features.

During World War II, the hotel was requisitioned by the German army and used as a base of operations. After the war, it was returned to its original owners and underwent several more renovations and upgrades.

Today, the Danieli Hotel is still one of Venice’s most iconic and luxurious hotels, renowned for its opulent decor, exceptional service, and rich cultural heritage. The hotel’s grand public spaces and lavish guest rooms continue to attract a diverse and discerning clientele, who come to experience the magic of Venice in style and comfort.

The Danieli hotel 

The Danieli Hotel in Venice is one of the city’s most iconic and luxurious hotels, renowned for its opulent decor, exceptional service, and rich cultural heritage. The hotel is located in a historic 14th-century palazzo, which has been carefully restored and renovated to preserve its original beauty and grandeur.

The Danieli Hotel is made up of three separate buildings that are connected by a series of bridges and walkways. The hotel’s interior is characterized by ornate chandeliers, marble floors, and lavish furnishings, creating a sense of timeless elegance that harks back to the days of the Venetian Republic.

The hotel’s 225 guest rooms and suites are all decorated in the same opulent style, with sumptuous fabrics, antique furnishings, and modern amenities such as flat-screen TVs and complimentary Wi-Fi. Many of the rooms offer stunning views of the Venetian lagoon or the city’s historic landmarks.

The Danieli Hotel is also home to several exquisite dining options, including the Michelin-starred Restaurant Terrazza Danieli, which serves traditional Venetian cuisine with a modern twist. The hotel’s rooftop bar, Bar Terrazza Danieli, is a popular spot for cocktails and light bites, with panoramic views of the city’s stunning skyline.

In addition to its luxurious amenities, the Danieli Hotel is also steeped in history and culture. Over the years, the hotel has played host to a number of famous guests, including Richard Wagner, Charles Dickens, and Henry James. The hotel’s grand public spaces have also been featured in several Hollywood films, including “The Tourist” and “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade”.
