Ubicado en el área de Cannaregio, un remanso de paz y seguridad en la bulliciosa Venecia. Personal súper atento y amable, servicio de primera. De fácil y rápido acceso a estaciones del vaporetto y góndolas. Sirven desayuno buffet y aunque no tienen restaurante para almuerzos o cenas, cerca hay muchos muy buenos. Tenga en cuenta que es una propiedad de finales del siglo XVI en la que mantienen esa identidad.

We had a truly wonderful stay at Hotel Abadessa. You can feel the love and care in every detail — from the charming decor to the peaceful atmosphere. The staff were incredibly helpful, always kind and attentive, making us feel very welcome throughout our stay. The location is perfect — tucked away just enough to offer peace and quiet, yet only a short walk from all the beauty and energy of Venice. A place full of character and heart — highly recommended!

The property is located in historic Venice. It is about a 10 minute walk to the Rialto Bridge and a 3 minute walk to the Vaporetto dock. As a result of being in a historic building, the rooms are very small. Bring your own USB charger and a 220 plug adaptor.

This small boutique property has character and charm, with the faded grandeur of days gone-by evident all around. The staff were extremely helpful whenever needed. There is a pretty coutyard garden which is pleasant to sit in at breakfast. Venice was baking in the heat when we were there and it was uncomfortable to sit in the one communal space downstairs which also functioned as a dining space. This was our only complaint, the management need to consider how to keep their guests comfortable and at least have some fans in the downstairs space. Bedrooms had aircon so were cool enough.

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.

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.
