Yes, there are many beaufiful hotels in Venice, and everyone wants to stay as close to the Piazza San Marco as possible, when in Venice, but with the popularity of Venice, its difficult getting away from the crowds, even in the best hotels on Venice Island. So the answer is to stay at the San Clemente Palace, located on San... more

I was whisked off to romantic Venice for a surprise 40th birthday present from my wonderful hubby. To jump off a plane on to a speedboat was one thing (very James Bond) but i could not believe my eyes when we pulled up outside the most exquisite hotel. From that moment on it was like stepping into a fairytale -... more

What an amazing place! If you are considering staying at the Clemente Palace then all i can say is do it! The staff were fabulous and the hotel faultless. The breakfasts were without doubt the most amazing i have ever had, the rooms were spacious and the bathrooms impressive. Arriving by motorlaunch in the evening with the hotel lit by... more

We stayed at the San Clemente for the first 2 days of our 10-day Italy vacation and getaway. It was recommended by our travel agent, and she did not steer us wrong. This hotel is truly a palace, located on an island 15 minutes from Saint Marks Square. Hotel water taxi, free of charge, runs every 20 minutes. Hotel accomodations,... more

My boyfriend and I had a weekend away in Venice recently, staying at the San Clemente Palace. As we’d never been to Venice before we enlisted the help of a travel agent recommended by a friend (W&O Travel, and I highly recommend them now too). It was perfect. Located on it’s own private island just 10 minutes from Piazzo San... more

Everything about this hotel is designed to make you feel special; from my first e-mail communication with the staff I knew that it was going to be fantastic. The staff are helpful, friendly and fabulous and the hotel is just as perfect. Wow, even the approach to the hotel is excellent, across the water on the hotel’s own beautiful boat,... more

High ceilings, large rooms, genuinely nice staff, beautiful gardens, and quiet, quiet , quiet! The perfect place to relax between hops to St. Marks square for shopping, eating, and sightseeing. The TV's are small, but you shouldn't be watching TV in Venice anway. They don't offer in-room coffee and tea kettles, but room service is reasonable and bottled water is... more

My Fiancee and I got engaged at San Clemente Palace Hotel on November the 5th and I just wanted to say how perfect and romantic the setting and how special we were made to feel by all the staff. The service was second to none especially by the concierge who went above and beyond to make our romantic night so... more

I just arrived in Venice today and am going to stay here for 4 days. The reason I am writing this review on my very first night instead of waiting till I return home is the fact that already in one day I am deeply frustrated with this hotel. I cannot believe that this hotel is rated 5-STAR and voted... more
