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.

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

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

Stayed here for a weekend with my Wife, our first visit to Venice together. The hotel is on the quayside on La Giudecca, literally opposite the mouth of the Grand Canal and San Marco. The airport is on the other side of Venice to the hotel, so our tip would be arrange for a water-taxi from Marco Polo Airport as... more

Amazing place. You feel as if you are walking into a remnant of the past. The desk staff are the most courteous, caring and helpful people I have come across in my world travels. NOTHING was too much. Arriving late of an evening we were upgraded to a suite, which was amazing. Dressing area, small lounge and marble bathroom. The... more

I simply can not put into words how divine this little sanctuary of peace and relaxation is ! The decor is perfect and the staff unobtrusive but attentive in every way. Food was great and water shuttle a lovely little perk. Will look forward to returning to my new found little oasis. more
