Lonely Planet review

This intriguing Renaissance mansion, hidden down narrow lanes off Campo Manin, takes its name from the dizzying external spiral ( bovolo in Venetian) staircase. Built in the late-15th century, the palace maintains a hint of the Gothic in its arches and capitals. You can enter the grounds and climb the staircase (when open), but it is perfectly visible from outside.
