The stallage bar serves espresso and drinks directly on the square. Room service is available, and the hotel can arrange reservations at local bacari and restaurants like Ai Do Forni, Ristorante da Fiore, and Taverna La Fenice.

Location & Transportation

Located in San Marco, the hotel is a 7-minute walk from St. Mark's Square and less than 10 minutes from Rialto Bridge. Nearby landmarks include the Accademia Bridge (5 minutes), Peggy Guggenheim Collection (0.5 km), and La Fenice Theatre. The San Samuele vaporetto stop (Line 2) is a 3-minute walk away with no bridges to cross, while Sant'Angelo stop (Line 1) is 5 minutes away. Garage S. Marco in Piazzale Roma offers parking with hotel agreements.

Services & Amenities

The hotel organizes guided tours to Murano, Burano, and Torcello islands, along with food and wine tours. Additional offerings include wine and fruit baskets for special packages, different density pillow menus, and 24-hour laundry service. Boat transfers can be arranged from Marco Polo Airport (€100-130) and Santa Lucia station (€70-100).

Building History

The hotel occupies a 15th-century building that originally served as a watchtower. The distinctive triple lancet windows on the 5-story facade date back to 1400. The property shares Campo Santo Stefano with the Benedetto Marcello Conservatory of Music, based in Palazzo Pisani since 1940.

“What struck me most is the location - seemingly tucked away, yet so close to the heart of Venice. I appreciate the blend of historic charm with modern comforts, especially the NUXE products; it's this kind of detail that elevates a stay. To me, the outdoor breakfast setting sounds like the perfect way to start a Venetian day.”

adequate stay with some issues

warm room separate bathroom
the staff were cute upon my arrival.
My room was quite warm, though i found it too noisy to sleep with the window open. the bathroom was separate from the room. Numerous walks across the landing were necessary to reach it in the middle of the night.. this was not ideal. i also noticed the television did not function.

rather average stay

noisy equipment stale pastries
my room was next to some noisy equipment. it sounded like a generator or something similar. the noise went on late into the night. also, the breakfast lacked variety. the pastries tasted stale and the fruit selection was limited. the coffee machine was often out of order. it made mornings less than ideal.
