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.

The best surprise

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.

Beautiful old-style palazzo with antiques, paintings, and sculptures in the lobby and a large garden where you can eat the hotel’s tasty breakfast. Friendly and very helpful staff. We arrived by water taxi and entered the hotel through its private water entrance on one of the canals, but it is also a short walk to one of the ferry stops. Rialto bridge is 10 minutes walk, while San Marco is about 20 minutes.
