Map & location
Venice City, Venice, Italy
Tucked away in Venice’s Cannaregio district, the hotel sits in a quieter, more local slice of the city – ideal if you love wandering narrow calli and discovering neighbourhood bacari. A short walk takes you to the nearest vaporetto stop for easy trips down the Grand Canal or out towards the lagoon islands, while back at base you can unwind in the private gardens overlooking the water and towards Murano’s glass‑making island.
- Approx. transfer time from airport 30–60 minutes depending on mode (water taxi, shared boat, or bus plus vaporetto)
Facilities
Pool & outdoors
There is no pool or beach here – this is a classic Venetian palazzo hotel focused on culture, canals and city exploring rather than resort‑style facilities. Guests typically spend days wandering Venice’s churches, galleries and islands before returning to unwind in the gardens or bar.
Spa, sports & wellness
The hotel is all about slow city living rather than high‑octane facilities. You’ll find:
• Tranquil private gardens right on the canal – a rare luxury in Venice
• Atmospheric historic interiors with marble floors and period details
• Concierge desk for restaurant bookings, opera tickets, gondola rides and island excursions
• Reception with equipment for hire including fan, kettle and wheelchair (on request and subject to availability)
• Luggage storage for early arrivals or late departures
• Occasional shuttle boat services (seasonal and/or local charge)
There’s no on‑site gym or spa, but the concierge can usually recommend nearby wellness options if you’d like a treatment during your stay.

The elegant lounge bar, La Voga, is a cosy spot for a spritz or digestivo, with an adults‑only ambience that suits pre‑dinner drinks and late‑night nightcaps alike.
