Rooms feature parquet floors, 1930s original furniture, and either private bathrooms with air conditioning or shared bathroom facilities.

Breakfast is served in a high-ceilinged dining room overlooking the canal, featuring classical, jazz, or new age music. The Italian breakfast includes eggs, cured meats, cheeses, and fresh cornetti pastries. Guests can request breakfast service in their rooms. The dining room contains original Petrarch memorabilia from when the Renaissance poet reportedly lodged here.
Central Venice Location
The hotel is situated on Calle de le Schiavine, a quiet cul-de-sac parallel to Calle Fuseri, 3 minutes from St. Mark's Square and Rialto Bridge. Vaporetto water buses stop at Rialto Station, providing connections to Santa Lucia Railway Station. The area contains Teatro La Fenice opera house, bars, shops, and restaurants including homonym sixteenth-century tavern serving cicheti and Venetian dishes.
Cultural Itineraries Offered
The hotel provides suggested itineraries to Venetian haunts of famous visitors including Casanova, Ezra Pound, and Ernest Hemingway. These include locations such as Palazzo Malipiero, Campo San Maurizio, and the Court of the Muneghe where Casanova lived. The property is surrounded by typically Venetian alleys and small squares in the historic center.
Family-Run Hotel Services
This small family-operated property offers personalized service with daily room sanitization. Rooms can accommodate third persons on request. The hotel provides hair dryers, tea-making facilities, and complimentary bottled water. The shared bathroom features a window, shower, sink, and bidet, making it suitable for budget-conscious travelers or groups sharing facilities.
“This small B&B clearly understands the needs of city explorers, offering a welcoming space to recharge after busy days seeing the sights. Its location is superb, close to the Grand Canal, while the rooms are comfortable and well-equipped, air conditioning is a plus. Breakfast gets high marks too, setting you up perfectly for a day of walking and discovery.”
