Historic Palace Rooms

Hotel Palazzo Abadessa offers rooms with original 18th-century antique furniture, Murano glass lamps, and silk damask wallpaper. Ceilings feature 16th-century stucco and frescoes. Rooms overlook Rio di Santa Sofia, Calle Priuli, or the private garden. Suites include separate living areas with velvet furnishings. All rooms have air conditioning, minibars, satellite TVs, and Wi-Fi. Bathrooms come with rainfall showers or bathtubs.

Breakfast in Garden

A continental breakfast buffet is served in refined breakfast rooms or the private garden during warmer months. The garden includes century-old trees, marble benches, and fragrant flowers. Guests can relax here with a book after touring Venice.

Cannaregio District Location

The hotel is in Cannaregio, a quiet residential area 5 minutes from Rialto Bridge and 10 minutes from St. Mark's Square. Nearby, Campo Santa Sofia offers gondola-ferry crossings to Rialto Market. The historic Jewish Ghetto, with local bars and trattorias, is a short walk away. Ca' d'Oro, a Gothic palace housing the Giorgio Franchetti Gallery, is steps from the hotel.

Private Dock Arrival

Guests arriving by water taxi can use the hotel's private dock on Rio di Santa Sofia. From Marco Polo Airport, take the Alilaguna water bus to Fondamente Nuove, then walk 10 minutes. From Santa Lucia train station, take Vaporetto Line 1 to Ca' d'Oro stop, followed by a 5-minute walk.

Event & Concierge Services

The hotel organizes weddings, meetings, and book presentations, with assistance for catering and music. Staff provide recommendations for local restaurants like those in the Jewish Ghetto. A 24-hour front desk handles luggage storage and tour bookings.

“Palazzo Abadessa, set in a renovated palace, emphasizes authentic Venetian charm, from its antique furnishings to its tranquil private garden. The location is excellent, mere steps from Cannaregio's main street and a short walk to the Rialto Bridge, which gives a quiet escape with ready access to Venice's attractions. The exceptional staff and canal-side setting create an immersive experience, a unique hotel.”

a lovely stay

calm space helpful staff chilled bottle cute gesture
i appreciated the garden a lot. it provided a calm space away from the crowded areas. The staff was helpful, always available to assist with directions. i found a chilled bottle of prosecco in my room upon arrival. it was a very cute gesture after a long trip.
The decor felt a LITTLE dated in some areas. The style might not appeal to everyone.
