We have visited Venice many times and have walked past this hotel ,this visit we decided to stay , and what a little gem . The room was the biggest room we have stayed in , as most rooms in Venice are small, the bathroom was spotless and our room over looked the Calle at the front. The staff were amazing. There is a restaurant attached to the hotel which we can highly recommend. This is some where we will definitely be staying again Thank you to every member of staff who make this hotel what it is

“The best 3 star hotel in Venice”

Venice is teaming with 3 star hotels but I judge this to be the best one that I have stayed in over five separate visits to the city.

Venice is teaming with 3 star hotels but I judge this to be the best one that I have stayed in over five separate visits to the city. The hotel has been family run for over 40 years with the current owner still managing front of house. The staff are friendly and helpful, particularly the quiet gentleman at the reception who is a mine of information about palazzos to visit in the city. The rooms are super clean and comfortable with the most efficient air conditioning you will come across in the whole city. You can set it to artic conditions if the heat and humidity of summer in Venice becomes too much. It is wonderful but you will find yourself turning it down when you sleep because it is so efficient. The breakfast is excellent and you must explore the fours floors of the hotel with its exhibition posters displayed on the walls acquired by the family over 40 years. The position of the hotel cannot be beaten in quiet Dorsoduro in between the Ponte Dell’ Academia and Zattere vaporetto stations. The easiest way to get to the hotel from the airport is to take the Alilaguna water bus to Zattere with the hotel being a 2 minute walk away. You can buy the ticket at the airport near the departure point for 15 Euros one way. The hotel is a 20 minute stroll to St Marks Square or you can jump onto Line 1 and 2 of the vaporetto stop by the Academia bridge to get anywhere in the city. Again, this is a 2 minute walk from the hotel. I recommend buying a 1, 2, 3 or 7 day vaporetto pass depending on your length of stay. It will save you money because a single ticket which lasts 75 minutes is 9.5 Euros. The main San Lucia Railway Station is a 25 minute walk to/from the hotel unless you jump onto a water bus. The wonderful Peggy Guggenheim Musuem is only a 5 minute walk away from the hotel. The area is served by tons of restaurants situated in delightful squares, courtyards, alleyways and along the Grand Canal at the Zattere stop. However, the hotel also has a restaurant serving delicious local fare and drinks. When you arrive there will be a beer and a still and fizzy water in the fridge for you to enjoy as a welcoming gesture. The hotel has a relaxed attitude to guests buying food or/and drinks to keep in the room fridge, despite having a restaurant. There is a supermarket 30 seconds away from the hotel where we bought bottles of Prosecco and beer to enjoy on the terrace of the hotel on the 4th floor. The fridge is super efficient guaranteed to make your drinks ice cold. There is a safe that you can use in the room to store away your valuables, and we also used the hotel laundry service which was cheap and brilliant. The clothes were immaculate and expertly laundered and ironed. We will be staying at this hotel again when we return. Stay here. Trust me, you won’t regret it. The hotel, its rooms, staff and services and location provide an unbeatable winning combination.

“Excellent quiet location on edge of tourist area”

Excellent. We wanted someplace that was clean, quiet, and safe, with easy access to ferries and tourist spots, but in a quieter part of Venice.

Excellent. We wanted someplace that was clean, quiet, and safe, with easy access to ferries and tourist spots, but in a quieter part of Venice. This location was perfect, on the edge of the tourist zone with access to many different vaparetto lines for easy access to all of Venice, and a very easy walk to St Mark’s Square and the Rialto bridge areas. The hosts were helpful and friendly with our questions, and prepared a breakfast “to go” when we had to adjust our departure time to a very early train. We had room 404 on the top floor which was spacious and quiet. We were traveling as a couple but the room had a twin trundle bed and would have been great for families too. The windows had screens to keep bugs out. I recommend and would stay here again.
