HOTEL PALAZZO ABADESSA

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights at the beginning of our Italian vacation. The location was terrific, not far from a vaporetto stop. Entering the main gate of our hotel felt like a little oasis. They had the most magnificent garden in a city that you don't see many. The staff was very friendly and treated you more like a member of the family than a guest. There are only 16 bedrooms as it was a converted Palace. Ours was small, but adequate. Our only complaint was the air conditioner couldn't keep the room cool, but to be fair it was about 90 degrees F outside and the building is quite old. The guests that stayed there were lovely. We would visit over a beautifully laid out breakfast or in the evening sitting out in the garden. I keep a travel journal, so I would take my notebook out to the garden to record my day's memory. Overall a great stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Hotel Palazzo Abadessa. The hotel exudes old world charm with a lovely garden in which to unwind after a busy day sightseeing in Venice. A special thank you to Darwin & Michael, the front desk staff who were so very accommodating and made our stay feel very special. We would definitely recommend this hotel to other travelers.

We loved our 2 night stay at this hotel! The staff were so friendly and helpful. Our room was gorgeous - we are a family of 4 with 2 teens. We had a King bed in the main part of the room and a loft with two twin beds (fold out chairs). I think the kid beds were less comfortable, but the King bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was up in the loft area, which is less convenient but was a very modern, large bathroom. We had plenty of space for toiletries and 4 suitcases. The main lobbies are beautiful. The breakfast is wonderful with juices, pastries, meats and cheeses. We spent as much time as possible in the courtyard. We enjoyed our complementary bottle of prosecco in the courtyard too. The location is great - we took the vaporetto to the Ca d'oro stop and it is a very short walk to the hotel. Walked easily to San Marco. We took a private water taxi to the airport and all found that to be really fun! Well worth the price. We hope to return! Would highly recommend this to couples and small families.

This was a return trip to Venice. I had visited the hotel on another trip and made a mental note to stay here for sure next trip. A very good choice if you are seeking a quiet hotel with history in every room and public areas that are museum quality. So beautiful. Cannaregio is a more residential and quiet quarter in Venice but still a great location for all the typical sightseeing. Communication with the hotel in advance was good and they carefully advised on which rooms/suites might be the best for our stay. We had a canal side room which had a nice view from the top floor but I think any room would be good. The beds are comfortable and rooms have everything you need...There was a TV which looked so out of place but I guess some guests want them. I think every room is very unique. Excellent breakfast served either in an elegant room or a garden that you will not believe. There are always fresh lilies in the entry hall and a warm welcome at reception. They will help you with anything during your stay including dinner reservations and we opted to have them arrange airport water taxi which was the best choice with luggage etc. I would really recommend a stay at this small boutique hotel for an enhanced Venice experience. We only stayed 2 nights but would love to return for a longer stay.

We loved this hotel in a quiet Venice neighborhood although a quick walk to all the action in Venice. You really feel like you are in a royal palace here. Our junior suite was very spacious for me, my wife and daughter, who had here own semi-private loft. It was pretty warm and humid outside but the AC worked very well. Excellent breakfast outside in the beautiful garden.
