Overall Ratings & Reviews Hotel Palazzo Abadessa

The hotel is very classy in a building overlooking a small canal. The reception staff are outstanding, nothing is too much trouble. The hotel is very clean. The immediate area is very quiet but also close to railway station, Grand Canal and San Marco. It is also only 7 minutes walk to Fondamente Nove where you can get boat to airport and islands of Murano and Burano. The hotel has a beautiful secluded garden to relax.

Absolutely amazing stay! Great location, wonderful service, boat ride to Murano is included.

The staff and villa were both wonderful. It was clean and the breakfast was abundant. They also offer an afternoon tea/snack and the grounds were pretty. I would stay here again- everyone was so nice and welcoming to me!

This hotel is a real historical building in Venice. Everything about it is voyage in time. Its position, close to all the hustle of its surroundings but at the same time hidden in a very small quiet Calle. The staff very helpful and welcoming. Absolutely recommended

A lovely property with friendly and helpful staff, a great location and good breakfast. Room was comfortable, if a little warm, and well appointed. The location was very convenient for both the Fte. Nova ferry stop and the main street to access the rest of the city. The surrounding area was also great for quieter more local bars and restaurants. A great hotel and if back in Venice we would certainly look to rebook.

Loved staying here! The rooms were beautiful, breakfast was very tasty and the customer service and friendly attitude of everyone that works here was wonderful!

The hotel was historic and beautiful! The owner was so wonderful and they were so accommodating!

This hotel is an excellent place for a honeymoon, very nice, antique furniture, the service at the dining is excellent, as well as food. It’s not so close to shopping, but is walkable. They give you the trip to Murano’s island for free. It has a garden at the front and in the back, is very clean

Great location this hotel is a real find. Historical Hotel which exceeded our expectations. The staff were so helpful, friendly and made our stay so enjoyable. Breakfast was great. We were lucky with the weather and were able to enjoy the beautiful garden . We found it a perfect location for exploring on our first trip to Venice. We would definately stay here again.

The hotel building was created in the 1500s for a doge of Venice. Stunning, historic location. I bet the ceilings in our rooms were 22 feet tall! I adored the large public rooms with old oil paintings. It was lovely to eat breakfast in the courtyard garden. Staff were very helpful including making dinner suggestions at two different restaurants. They also booked us a water taxi to take us back to the airport at the end of our trip. Wonderful location on a quiet canal. I was surprised how quiet it was as I thought party boats might be going by below our window all night long. If I were a woman traveling alone, I would not like coming back the narrow passageway by myself after dark from the large pedestrian street nearby.

I booked this room over a year ago. When we got there , they had us in the only room on the first floor. We know this is Venice and humidity is usually high but this room was right at water level. The room smelled musty and the humidity was extremely high. I washed a shirt and it took 3 days to dry. All clothes we put on felt damp. We were also stuffy and eyes were itchy. Maybe mold. Do not let them give you this room

Great property

QUITE. Nice garden Great staff

Excellent service and beautiful hotel.

I like my hotels historic and slightly haunted, and I am in love with Palazzo Abadessa. If you need a modern sterile could-be-anywhere hotel, it's probably not for you. If you want character, charm, adventure, and world-class hospitality, you won't want to stay anywhere else. Darwin is lovable, the breakfast is so much better than we expected, and we were able to walk everywhere. I would stay there anytime, I wish I lived there.

A lovely and quiet property. Attentive front desk service coupled with a good location and very nice breakfast. Would definitely book there again.

We received an amazing service, staff very friendly and professional. The hotel is well preserved, cleaned, beautifully, and very close to restaurants and transportation.

Beautiful property with great service

The most wonderful surprise. So beautiful. A genuine feeling of a richness from the past. Luxurious garden! The BEST hot shower I’ve had on our trip. Wonderful service. We so enjoyed the breakfast ! Super access to the canals and liveliness of Venice. Tucked away though so when you need to rest you can return to peace.
