Hotel Panorama
Staying at Hotel Panorama was an absolute highlight of my trip to Venice! The location is perfect—just a short walk from major attractions and right by the canal, offering stunning views every morning. The breakfast buffet was outstanding: fresh, well-prepared, and varied with excellent quality—from the croissants to the coffee, everything felt premium. Staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout our stay. Every detail was thoughtfully done, and the overall experience was top-notch. I’d highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Venice—it’s truly one of the best places I’ve stayed in Italy.
Residenza d'Epoca Albergo Quattro Fontane
My stay at Residenza d'Epoca Albergo Quattro Fontane was absolutely perfect—every detail contributed to a memorable experience. Located just steps away from Venice’s most iconic sights, I found it incredibly convenient to explore the city on foot. The hotel itself is a true gem, blending historic charm with modern comfort. The room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and impeccably clean, with a cozy bed that made for a restful night's sleep. The staff were warm and helpful, offering thoughtful recommendations for local restaurants and hidden gems worth visiting. From the moment I arrived to the moment I left, everything felt effortless and authentic. I already know I’ll be back—this place truly feels like home away from home.
Hotel Saturnia & International
Staying at Hotel Saturnia & International in Venice was an absolute delight. The location is unbeatable—right on the famous luxury shopping street, making it super easy to explore on foot. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond; a personal concierge met us at the dock, helped carry our luggage upstairs, and made us feel right at home. The rooms are spacious and beautifully designed, offering a truly comfortable night’s sleep. The hotel itself is housed in a restored historic villa—walking up the elegant staircase is a treat, especially for photography. Don’t miss the rooftop terrace: perfect for catching the evening breeze from the Adriatic Sea and watching the sun dip below the Venetian skyline. Pro tip: avoid following Google Maps’ suggestions blindly. Instead, take the water bus to the G... stop (check previous reviews) and you’ll be just steps away from the hotel—much more convenient than arriving too early or getting lost. This place feels like a hidden gem with exceptional service, charm, and value. I’d absolutely come back.
B&B Casin dei Nobili
Staying at B&B Casin dei Nobili was an absolute delight from start to finish. The room itself is charming—elegant, well-appointed, and full of that authentic Venetian flair. Lara, the host, couldn’t have been more welcoming or helpful; she’s attentive without being intrusive, always ready with a smile and a quick answer to any question. Breakfast is a highlight—freshly prepared, delicious, and thoughtfully presented. The eggs were perfectly cooked (though slightly cooler than expected), tea selections were excellent, and the daily chilled water bottle, Dyson hairdryer, and complimentary phone wipes made all the difference. One small note: a bit warmer eggs would be nice, and bacon would be a welcome addition! But honestly, these tiny details are completely overshadowed by the genuine care and attention to comfort throughout the stay. The location is fantastic—quiet yet walkable to major sights. I’d absolutely return and recommend this gem to anyone visiting Venice.

A truly memorable stay that I’d highly recommend.
Hotel Santa Chiara
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.

The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed with attention to detail. Staff were friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Getting here requires a short boat ride, but it’s part of the charm—feels like stepping into a different world. If I ever return to Venice, I’d definitely choose this hotel again. A perfect blend of tranquility, beauty, and authentic Venetian atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique and peaceful getaway.

Palazzo San Luca
Staying at Palazzo San Luca in Venice was an absolute delight from start to finish. The boat transfer from Venice Marco Polo Airport to St. Mark’s Square took just 15 minutes—quick, smooth, and incredibly convenient. The navigation guide was spot-on, making the journey stress-free. Upon arrival, the front desk staff greeted us warmly with a welcome drink—a lovely touch that set the tone for our stay. On the way back, catching a boat from the hotel dock to Venice train station was seamless and well-timed. While the property doesn’t have an elevator, they’re happy to assign lower-floor rooms if you mention luggage needs in advance—great flexibility. Be aware that navigating Venice Island with suitcases can be tricky, so packing light is definitely recommended. Although breakfast isn’t included, there’s a coffee maker and tea bags in-room—perfect for a quick morning pick-me-up. Overall, the location, service, and charm of this hidden gem make it a standout choice. Highly recommend for travelers seeking authenticity and ease in Venice.
Palazzo Cristo
We can't thank Anna enough for making our stay at Palazzo Cristo truly unforgettable. We were completely surprised and delighted when we were upgraded to a more luxurious room in honor of my wife's 50th birthday—what an incredible gesture that turned our trip into something magical. The palace isn't just a place to sleep; it’s a living masterpiece. Every corner exudes elegance and tranquility, with exquisite attention to detail in the décor, lighting, and furnishings. The atmosphere is both lavish and warmly welcoming—like stepping into a private Venetian dream. Our room had a stunning view over the canal, and the quiet serenity made it perfect for relaxation. Anna’s hospitality was beyond words—thoughtful, genuine, and always one step ahead. She made us feel like honored guests, not just visitors. Located just minutes from the heart of Venice, it’s easy to explore the city while still enjoying a peaceful retreat. This experience has become one of our most cherished memories.
