Take a fast hydrofoil or ACTV ferry from Piazzale Roma in Venice, which takes just 15 minutes and runs every hour. These services are affordable and reliable, especially during peak season. For a more scenic option, book a water taxi directly from St. Mark’s Square—though pricier, it offers door-to-door convenience.

Don’t miss the hand-blown glass workshop at Casa del Vetro, where artisans guide you through creating small glass ornaments using centuries-old techniques. Early morning boat tours with local fishermen reveal the island’s wetland ecosystem and rare bird species. You’ll also taste freshly caught sea urchins and shrimp served raw or lightly grilled.

Hotels like B&B La Palma and Albergo L'Isola emphasize tranquility with low guest capacity, soundproofed rooms, and lush garden courtyards. Many offer free Wi-Fi and secure parking, ideal for those seeking peace. Enjoy evenings listening to gentle waves and distant church bells—perfect for unwinding and embracing a slow-paced, off-the-beaten-path Venetian lifestyle.
Yes. Climb the bell tower of Santa Maria Assunta Church for panoramic views of the island’s pastel-colored houses and winding canals. The sunlit reflections on the canals at sunset create stunning mirror-like effects—ideal for photography. Hidden alleyways with ornate iron gates and weathered stone walls provide perfect backdrops for candid street shots. Don’t miss the secret bridge near the old fisherman’s dock, where light dances across the water—a favorite among photographers seeking unspoiled Venetian charm.
Try Malamocco Fritto Misto—a mix of fresh local fish, shrimp, and shellfish fried to golden crispness, served with lemon sauce. Another highlight is Sarde in Saor, sweet-and-sour marinated anchovies with raisins and onions, a traditional lagoon dish. Breakfast favorites include Focaccia con Salame, a savory flatbread with cured ham.

My 11-year-old son and I had a wonderful solo trip to Venice, and our stay at Albergo San Marco was absolutely top-notch. With a packed daily schedule, my main priorities were a spacious bed, quiet surroundings, no unpleasant odors, easy access to showers, and a convenient spot to wash small items like shorts and socks—this room checked all those boxes perfectly. The location is unbeatable: just a 5-minute walk to St. Mark’s Square, making sightseeing super easy. The little balcony was a highlight—on warm evenings, we’d open the window instead of using AC, letting in cool breezes. Breakfast was excellent; since I’m currently managing my sugar intake, I stuck to plain yogurt, tomatoes, cucumbers, oatmeal, and ham—perfectly satisfying. The coffee was rich and delicious, and there was a water dispenser offering mineral water with a subtle fruity hint but zero sweetness—so refreshing! There’s also a little hidden perk: if you ask, staff can bring you orange juice or a fried egg and bacon breakfast combo. The only minor downside? No in-room drinking water dispenser—but honestly, that didn’t ruin the experience. Overall, this place offers great value, comfort, and charm. I’d definitely come back.

We stayed here with our family, and overall, the experience was excellent. The hotel is incredibly clean, safe, and every little detail shows thoughtfulness—really made us feel at home. One small suggestion: the AC vent in the room was dusty, so cleaning it or replacing the filter would be a great improvement. Also, since we had elderly guests with us, it would be helpful if guest services were more accessible—having to walk around to check in was a bit challenging. Despite that, the location is fantastic, close to everything, and public transport makes getting around Venice super easy. We truly appreciated the attention to cleanliness and security. Definitely a place we’d recommend and return to.

The location is absolutely perfect—just a short walk from the train station and only two minutes to a convenient supermarket, which made our stay super easy.

Breakfast was a highlight: a wide variety of options with fresh, delicious fruits that really made the meal special. Everything about this hotel felt thoughtfully designed for guest comfort and convenience. I’m already planning my return visit—this place truly exceeded my expectations.

We arrived in Venice early at 6 AM with a flight, and the water taxi took us straight to the hotel dock by 7 AM. I was a bit worried about checking in so early, but the staff were incredibly accommodating and processed our check-in immediately—no issues at all. We originally had planned to stay at Aman, but it was fully booked, so we switched to The St. Regis Venice. Honestly, we couldn’t be happier with that decision. From the moment we stepped onto the private dock, the beauty of the property hit us—elegant architecture, luxurious details, and that unmistakable St. Regis charm. It’s not just a hotel; it’s an experience. The location on the Grand Canal is perfect, and every corner feels like a scene from a movie. If you’re looking for timeless elegance and exceptional service, this is it. Highly recommend—worth every penny.

Staying at Hotel Santa Chiara was a fantastic experience—right next to the train station, just one bridge away, making it incredibly convenient for arrivals and departures. I’m pretty sure it’s the closest hotel on the island to the station, which is a major plus when you’re navigating Venice with luggage. The room itself was clean and well-maintained, with a spotless bathroom and comfortable bedding. The only minor downside was the single-pane windows, which let in some chill during colder nights—but adding an extra blanket easily fixed that. Staff were prompt and helpful; whenever I requested something, it arrived quickly without any hassle. Plus, walking 20 minutes daily to explore nearby attractions wasn’t burdensome at all—Venice is so walkable and scenic that every step feels worth it. Overall, this place offers great value, excellent location, and warm hospitality. Definitely recommend it for travelers who want convenience without compromising on comfort.
