My husband and I just spent 12 days in Venice at the Locanda al Leon and I can honestly not speak highly enough about the hotel and its staff. Situated a short distance from the Piazza San Marco and around the corner from the Bridge of Sighs, this locanda’s location is nearly perfect – central to everything. We stayed in... More

Great hosts! The afternoon of our arrival, we learned that not one, but both of our adult sons wanted to join us in Venice. Yikes! It was a Friday night and we know that Venice is a weekend destination for many Italians...so we contacted our hosts, Marcella and Giuliano, not really expecting them to be able to conjure up another...

My husband and I stayed at Locanda al Leon for a few nights during our honeymoon in April 2012. We had a little trouble finding the hotel at first, but once we did, we realized the location couldn't be more perfect. It is very near St. Mark's but is far enough away that it is quiet and relaxing. It is... More

We stayed two nights at the two bedroom, two bathroom Pinelli apartment run by Locanda al Leon. The location of the hotel is VERY central, just around the corner from St. Mark’s and the apartment is about a 5-minute walk away, near St. Maria Formosa. We had no problem finding the hotel, using the good directions & map they provided... More

We stayed at Locanda al Leon for a long Easter weekend in April 2012 and found it to be perfect. The location of this beautifully restored 15th century house is superb; full of character and interest, it has lovely Venetian fixtures and fittings (including Murano glass chandeliers!), is spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We had a spacious second floor room... More

We stayed for 2 nights in a lovely triple room with a double bed on the main floor and a single up in a charming second floor/loft. The hotel is very clean and quiet. The location is very near San Marco and the Doges Palace. Giuliano and Marcella were wonderful hosts and there was always someone at the front desk... More

Stayed at Locanda al Leon for 2 nights in March. We stayed in the annex just a few doors down from the actual hotel. It is conveniently located next to Piazza San Marco and its vaparetto stop, which makes it very easy to get anywhere in Venice. Also only about a 10 minute walk to the Rialto bridge area. Rooms...

It is February 2012 but I am just now writing this review of our stay in July of 2011. While we did not stay at the Locanda itself, we stayed at the Pinelli Apartment just a campo away from where the hotel is located. The apartment can be very hard to find but isn't that part of the charm of... More

Second time we stayed in this hotel. We had a warm recommendation. Nice location near Doges palace and San Marco Place.It is perfect, only 5 minutes from the vaperetto stop. Guilano and Marcella were so helpful - the restaurant recommendations fabulous. Rooms are really beautifull and clean and well heated. A must in February. We feel very happy in the... More
