Hotel Palazzo Abadessa

I know this is very subjective and many would not agree, but this is how I imagine a quality hotel. It had friendliest staff as we were there and the historical palace is just magical. You can touch history here... Wait until you discover the garden! Yes, the green and very quiet garden was the suprise of the year that I did not expect in Venice. The hotel is away from the busy street yet you can reach Rialto quickly. Breakfast was great. Loved the interior!

This was our first trip to Venice made even more wonderful by our stay at Palazzo Abadessa. I could cite the superb location, a haven of peace and tranquility, yet only 100m from the main thoroughfare and Grand Canal; the elegant tasteful interior, lobby and rooms; the serene peaceful garden where we enjoyed breakfast and drinks throughout the day and evening; the generous and tasty breakfasts; but more important than all this, all true nevertheless, was the unwavering attentiveness and politeness of the staff. I simply cannot fault their wonderful welcome and care. Thank you to all. Stuart & Sue

Be careful with this place. They will offer you “free upgrade” at check in then try to charge you next day. Saw it happen to two others arguing at check in then tried to sneak it on us by saying it would be easier to carry bags there (they didn’t help us carry bags up the stairs in an attempt to sell) Rooms are tiny and AC / Wifi doesn’t work. Breakfast is gross. Staff tried to collect city tax three times even though I showed I paid. Better options all around for the price.
