Fodor's Expert Review Palazzo Abadessa

Cannaregio 4011, Venice, Veneto, 30121, Italy

At this late-16th-century palazzo, you can experience warm hospitality, a luxurious atmosphere, a lush private garden, and unusually spacious guest rooms well appointed with antique-style furniture, frescoed or stuccoed ceilings, and silk fabrics. The location is remote enough to escape the San Marco masses while still within striking distance of major sights, and there's a private dock for taxi arrival. In summer, breakfast is served in the garden.

PROS

  • unique and richly decorated guest rooms
  • superb guest service

CONS

  • some bathrooms are small and plain
