Palazzo Giovanelli

I recently stayed at Hotel Palazzo Giovanelli during a spring getaway to Venice, and I absolutely loved it. This historic property has been thoughtfully and tastefully remodeled, and the results are breathtakingly beautiful???combining modern luxury with classic Venetian charm. Upon entering, I was immediately taken by the elegant lobby. The renovation shines through in the clean architectural lines, contemporary art pieces, and chic furnishings. Natural light floods the common spaces, giving an open, airy ambiance. It???s obvious that no detail was spared when updating this once-classic palazzo into a sophisticated hotel experience. My room was equally impressive. Spacious yet cozy, it featured a plush king-size bed, soft linens, and a well-designed layout that maximizes convenience without sacrificing aesthetics. The modern bathroom was a delight???complete with a walk-in rain shower, premium toiletries, sleek fixtures, and excellent water pressure. I particularly appreciated the thoughtful amenities like accessible USB outlets by the bedside, strong Wi???Fi, and generous storage space. Service at Palazzo Giovanelli was consistently warm and professional. The staff welcomed me with genuine smiles and were always ready to provide excellent recommendations???from hidden local eateries to the best vaporetto stops. They took great care of luggage arrangements and helped secure early-shuttle assistance, which made early travel days much smoother. Location-wise, it couldn???t be better. Nestled on the Grand Canal just a few minutes from the Santa Lucia train station, it offers picturesque water views and easy access to Venice???s iconic sights. Yet inside, the hotel is a peaceful oasis???rarely did I hear any canal noise. Breakfast was another highlight: a lovely buffet featuring fresh pastries, local cheeses, cured meats, fruit, and hot espresso???sets you up perfectly for exploring the city. In summary, Hotel Palazzo Giovanelli delivers an incredible stay???melding modern sophistication with historical elegance. If you???re seeking a stylish, comfortable, and beautifully renovated retreat in Venice, this hotel is an outstanding choice. Highly recommended???I can???t wait to return!

Absolutely fabulous hotel, beautiful room, staff were all very friendly and professional, breakfast was great with a large choice, great central location to explore beautiful Venice, would highly recommend! We would stay here again if we return to Venice, had a fabulous time.

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to all the staff we met last week during our 4 night stay - we were made to feel so welcome and at home. Venice is a beautiful city and we were blessed with great weather (at the beginning of March even!) therefore fortunate to see a lot of it. But what makes for a great holiday are the people you meet - thank you all for making our trip so memorable.
