PALAZZO ABADESSA
A beautiful sixteenth century palace offering fifteen rooms with a romantic atmosphere.
Refined without being pretentious, Palazzo Abadessa seems to reflect Venetian good taste. It's a 16th-century residence with a white façade and green shutters, set at the foot of the Santa Sofia Canal, 600 meters from the Rialto Bridge. The fifteen or so comfortable rooms are enveloped in a cloud of romance. Period furnishings, Persian rugs, Murano glass chandeliers, ceiling frescoes and polychrome marble floors sublimate the communal lounges. A journey through time. Hearty continental breakfast.

The location is perfect - no more than 100m from the Grand Canal but in a very quiet spot, on a small canal. An oasis of calm in a busy city. How many hotels in Venice can boast a secluded garden? A real treat to have breakfast outdoors. The hotel is ideally situated for vaporetti stops - Ca d'Oro (3 mins walk) and Fondamente Nova (12 mins walk).
A two minute walk to Strada Nove gives you a huge choice of restaurants, shops, bars and within a 10 minute walk even more choice. Fondamente Misericordia was a delight with its string of restaurants and outdoor dining along one of the three main canals in Cannaregio.
Room 23 on the second floor was large and well-appointed with three windows and a nice seating area. Huge comfy bed too!
Good breakfasts, good coffee and quiet air conditioning. My husband and I were extremely sad to leave.
