Beautiful home away from home

Hotel Palazzo Abadessa was the perfect stay in Venice better than I had expected. It felt like staying at your friend's home, not a hotel thanks to great caring service from staff Navid and host Jasmine. It is the real old palazzo, dating back to 16 centry. I saw and experienced the old Venetican culture and glamour. It has a Beautiful garden and the building has paintings of Tintotetto. It has a great advantage with walking distance to all the major tourist attraction but away from madness of tourist crowd. My room was really beautful elegant and stylish with old venetian style and decor. The room was spacious with a canal view, bigger than the room which I booked. I believe I got upgraded but they never told me and fussed about it. What moveed me the most was i was well looked after as a guest . Navid especailly was very caring and kind trying to help me more than he could. the host Jasmine equally was kind and caring with humility and care for guests to makes us feel welcome . The best gem in Venice, I got more than what I wished for. Thank people in Palazzo Abadessa. I will definately return to the beautiful Palazzo and kind people

The hotel offered a complimentary trip to Murano, and tour of a glass blowing factory. I agreed to it, and was not picked up at the hotel canal, but led thru a maze of streets to finally a boat. The boat took me to Murano and i eas met by a man who proceeded to pressure me during the entire tour of his mundane, ordinary offerings. I already have a lot of art glass, and not only were his pieces dull and ordinary, they were priced four times what stores in Venice proper were asking. I politely told him i would think about it, grateful to get away from this greedy person. We then walked to the door and i asked him to call the return boat. Oh no, you had a one way ticket. He said. You are on your own! I am a woman 76 years old and have traveled around the world. Never have i ever had my hotel knowingly put me in a terrible situation like that. After many hours, i made my way back to the hotel. NEVER TO RETURN!!!! Dont waste your money with these shysters. They also wanted $150.00 to take me to the port where i was going on a cruise. I got there for ONE DOLLAR AND FIFTY CENTS. This is absolutely true. Do not waste your valuable time with this horrid group. The hotel itself had some nice relics, that is all.

Wonderful stay

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.

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.

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

Gorgeous historic hotel with friendly staff

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

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.
