Charming Palace Santa Fosca

Love this hotel. The staff is friendly and helpful (they booked out private water taxi to the airport and kept my medicine in their refrigerator during our stay). The location is excellent for exploring, though note for arrival it is quite a ways from the main arrival dock - I recommend a private water taxi from the airport or at the very least the assistance of one of the many porters you'll find to help you through town with your luggage). We stayed (for the second time) in a suite with a canal view and terrace. The room has 4 beds (2 together, plus 1 twin in the same room and 1 twin in a separated room though no door between the 2). The terrace is very large and overlooks a lovely quiet canal lined with residential homes. The cafe associated with the hotel offers a nice breakfast. I highly recommend this hotel.

This hotel is an extension of Hotel Tinterello. You check in there, then make your way to the entrance of this 3-story renovated hotel. There are no lifts . Once inside, the authentic Venetian charm has been maintained. You walk into a room with old wooden doors, old wooden beams, a piano, a selection of paintings, and a 6 seater large wooden table it was a place we got together with the other 2 couples after a day of exploring Venice. The rooms were quite large, and the ac was central ducted, so there is no temp control within the room, but all you had to do was contact reception, and they would change the settings. No fridge in room, large room, good sized bathroom, but shower was above a bathtub , stepping in and out can be a challenge . The room windows opened up to a view of a canal and a small square, as the hotel is also attached to an unused church. The location is a 15 min walk from the railway station and over 3 small bridges, which can also be a challenge with large heavy luggage. The breakfast was ok it is connected to both hotels. The staff were excellent and I would recommend staying here.

I’m really happy with this accommodation, it was in a good location, very clean, the staff were friendly and the included breakfast was really nice. The only let down for me was the location of our room (Paulo Sarpi) We booked a canal view room, but it was more a view of the square with the canal to the side. It was directly above the restaurant so you could smell people smoking in the daytime and could here them putting tables out early in the morning. There was also a piano outside the room which a guest decided to start playing at 10.30 one night. We did ask to be moved but was told we couldn’t. I would stay here again but it would have to be in a different room.
