I will never forget the nice touch of the personnel of this hotel: my wife and I were there with my parents, close to their 80s and celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. We didn't tell the hotel porter, but he was kind enough (without being asked...) to upgrade my parents to a nice suite. Besides, this hotel is a peaceful... more

My wife and I spent three nights in the hotel before returning to London on the Venice Simplon Orient Express train. We were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. We found the hotel comfortable, and the hotel staff friendly and welcoming. We did take advantage of the eco shuttle boat (that really does exist) but as we knew that we wanted... more

Stayed in a double with lagoon views. The first room not what I expected, with one high, narrow window that afforded little view or light. But upon request was given a larger room with two windows giving onto magnificent views of the lagoon as well as views of this quiet, intimate neighborhood of mostly "real" Venetians. From this point on,... more

We planned our trip to Venice at the end of our Italy vacation. We chose this hotel because we thought we'd want more of a relaxing and "off the beaten path" hotel with easy access to the main part of Venice. The website and other reviews claimed the private water taxi would leave its sister hotel "regularly and around the... more

The Bauer Palladio Hotel and Spa is a great old monastery that has been converted to a stark hotel and spa. It's a draw for a difference, but the rooms are sparsely furnished and after awhile, it does become a hassle to go across the canal to be in the heart of Venice for dinner or doing some sightseeing. If... more

This is the most amazing hotel we have ever stayed in. We were in Venice for our honeymoon and enjoyed every minute of it. The staff upgraded our room which was lovely surprise and we got the honeymoon suite. The room was truly out of this world………. The staff were incredibly friendly and polite and catered to our needs. They... more

This was my second visit to Venice, and an excuse to escape my ex husband's marriage to the mistress he left me for. Ha ha I milked this excuse for all it was worth and had an fantastic time. This hotel is an absolute haven from the hustle and bustle of Venice. Located on the island of Guidecca there is... more

The history of this hotel was amazing. It was a gorgeous retreat. It is removed from the Venice craziness, yet only takes a few minutes to get to. The gardens were beautiful - very unexpected. We were only wishing we could stay longer... more

OK, so the hotel building itself is spectacular. You arrive across the Giudecca canal to see this 18th century convent, with a huge dome - it's all pretty impressive. And it's got a garden outside to sit in, in Venice, which is obviously a rarity. However, after this things start to go wrong. The restaurant in the hotel is very... more
