Hotel Palazzo Barbarigo, Venice

A Hidden Gem in Venice – Peaceful, Scenic, and Exceptionally Welcoming Hotel Barbarigo is a fantastic place to stay if you're visiting Venice and want to experience the city without being surrounded by crowds. It’s ideally located — just off the main tourist paths, so you can enjoy some peace and quiet — yet it's still an easy walk to pretty much anywhere you'd want to go. The hotel itself is right on the Grand Canal, which makes for beautiful views and a truly Venetian atmosphere. One of the standout features is that it has its own water taxi stop — such a convenient perk that makes arrival and departure completely hassle-free, especially with luggage. Inside, the hotel is quiet and comfortable, and the service is truly exceptional. The staff are warm, friendly, and go out of their way to make sure you feel at home. If you're looking for a more serene and authentic stay in Venice without sacrificing convenience, Hotel Barbarigo is an excellent choice.

I recently stayed at Hotel Palazzo Barbarigo Sul Canal Grande in Venice and had a truly wonderful experience. The hotel is elegant and full of charm, with beautifully decorated rooms that offer a perfect blend of classic Venetian style and modern comfort. The view of the Canal from the room was breathtaking, and waking up to the quiet beauty of the water was unforgettable. The staff were warm, attentive, and always ready to help with recommendations or arrangements. Its peaceful location made it a serene escape, yet still within walking distance to many of Venice’s highlights. Highly recommend for a romantic and relaxing stay in Venice!

Great hotel on the Grand Canal. Near the Rialto Bridge but away from the hustle and bustle there. Quiet and welcoming, and the owner/host is wonderfully helpful and welcoming. She upgraded us to the Grand Canal view and that was wonderful!! We had booked a view of the side canal but the upgrade was extraordinary and we would definitely book that next time! Had a great time staying here, rooms were pretty, got the authentic experience of arriving by water taxi and leaving to explore the city through skinny meandering alleys. Great choice for our 3 days in Venice for the first time.

My partner and I couldn't have picked a better hotel for our holiday! We spent a week here, which is family run by a brother and sister who make you feel so welcome from the moment you book. Even before we arrived, Nicoletta had very kindly made a reservation for us to take a boat from the airport straight to the hotel's very own dock on the grand canal - I would highly recommend this amazing experience. We were always greeted with smiles despite the long long hours they worked, and they were so helpful if we had questions. The breakfast with amazing grand canal views was the perfect start to every day! Our room was also amazing - a really big suite with a canal view was a real cherry on top of our stay (get in early and book to make sure you don't miss out on this). The location of the hotel is also incredible, like I say right on the grand canal in the middle of it all. There is an alley entrance so you can access the hotel on foot and take yourself wherever you fancy. There's also a vaporetto (water bus) stop very close by so you can use this to get around too. We had an incredible week in Venice and I was highly recommend this hotel for your trip - you will not be disappointed. A huge thank you for making our time in Venice perfect. One tip for plug adapters for Venice would be to check the adapters and make sure you bring the correct one (it's a 3-pin adapter you need to charge your devices).

We had an amazing stay at Hotel Palazzo Barbarigo. If you are hesitating on where to stay in Venice, look no further! This is the perfect place to stay on the Grand Canal! Centrally located, beautiful boutique hotel, and amazing staff. Nicoletta and Stefano were the most wonderful hosts, from the kind welcome we received (despite our late arrival), the excellent restaurant recommendations, the engaging conversation, we loved getting to know them and their city. We were very impressed by the history of this hotel and the beautiful views of the grand canal. The rooms were very spacious, the beds were comfortable and the breakfast included with our stay was excellent every morning. Although some people mentioned the hotel was hard to find, we didn't have issues finding it with Google maps and we appreciated that the hotel was tucked away in a small alleyway, far from the crowds. We highly recommend this hotel and plan on staying again the next time we are in Venice! Arrivederci!

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel right on the Grand Canal. From the very beginning, the staff responded to all my questions quickly and clearly, and they fulfilled every request I had during our stay. The rooms are spacious, spotlessly clean, and very comfortable. The view from the hotel is simply stunning, and the location couldn’t be better—just a 2-minute walk from the ferry stop, making it easy to get around Venice. A special thanks to the lovely lady at reception and the gentleman who assisted with breakfast—both were incredibly friendly and helpful, which made our experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a comfortable and memorable stay in Venice!

This hotel is perfect. Location is great! All staff members are incredibly professional and friendly. I'm really glad we got to stay here. The rooms are large, cool and clean

We love the service and the people who work at the hotel. They were very accommodating. The hotel is located right on the grand canal. The breakfast was very good and all the pastries fresh.

This waterfront hotel is a family run gem! Nicoletta and Stefano are two very hard working hosts. Rooms are small but efficient and a handy bar just outside the door. The views of the canal keeps you entertained and shops and restaurants are just out the door. This hotel has no restaurant but don't worry, breakfast is available and very good. I will not stay anywhere else when in Venice....

From the moment our water taxi pulled up to the Grand Canal entrance of this marvelous small hotel, we felt as though we had been transported back to another, more glamorous, time in Venice's past (perhaps the 1920s or 30s?) but one that had been brought up to date with the conveniences and luxuries of 2018! Every morning we had a delicious breakfast in the small dining room; several afternoons we had cocktails in the beautiful bar overlooking the Grand Canal. The staff were all extraordinary polite and helpful, especially VIOLETTE in the bar and DANIELE at the front desk. We can't wait to return!!
