Venice Certosa Hotel

A wonderful hotel away from the crowds of mainland Venice. Very calming and quiet We arrived late at night, the walkway from the vaporetto stop to the island is about 200yds, but it is well lit. The staff were welcoming and helpful at all times. The hotel itself, is modern and a little quirky, I loved it! Rooms were spacious enough and very clean. The ride to mainland Venice is about 15 mins. We did not sample the restaurant, but found that having an evening meal on Lido gave us plenty of time to get back to Certosa before the last Vaporetto, though there is a courtesy boat provided by the hotel if you're having a late night. I would highly recommend this hotel.

When I was planning my trip, I almost cut Venice out of my itinerary because I found it near enough impossible to find a basic room with my own bathroom in Venice anywhere near my budget. I was about to give up when I came across this little gem and I'm pleased I did because I wouldn't have experienced the beautiful Venice without it. The Island is so peaceful and calming , just what you need after a long day of exploring the city with its intense crowds. I purchased the 2 day Vaporetto pass for €30 and I literally hopped on and off it as and whenever the mood took me. Well worth it. If I remember correctly 4.2 and 5.1 lines go to the island from San Marco/ San Zacharia. It is a very pleasant ride to reach the centre. Loved it. If you miss the last Vaporetto of the night, you call them and they collect you in their own water taxi free of charge. I did use this service once and the gentleman who picks you up is very nice. Breakfast is an additional €9.

This was a great hotel, and I highly recommend it for those who want to be near Venice but don't want to be where all the crowds and tourists are. They were really nice and upgraded me, and the room was very clean and spacious. Additionally, although there is only the bar and restaurant to eat at if you get back to the hotel, the food was very good. I would recommend visiting Venice, but also Murano and Burano (which I think are much cuter!). There is a cost to go back and forth from the ferry, so would recommend planning trips out in the morning/night to make the most use or getting the 1-3 day pass. Since this hotel is better value than the ones on Venice, you will be saving your money that way!

We stayed here for two nights. We were disappointed with the quality of the rooms given the price we paid (around $190 USD/night). The website photos were a little misleading and the actual room was pretty run down looking compared to the photos. It was essentially an upscale hostel with very minimal room amenities. The room was very small and furnished with what looked like older, poor quality IKEA-type furnishings. The bathroom was so small that you could barely move around and a large person would have trouble getting into the shower. There was no microwave, refrigerator, or coffee maker. They also charged us $9 extra per person for breakfast which was just some pastries and yogurt. Getting to the island after 8pm was also challenging and you need to travel to another island first to transfer. The only advantage of staying here was that it is the meeting spot for a kayak tour which was really fun.

We had a really lovely three night stay here. Quirky, quiet and friendly. The trips across the water to the main island were an added bonus rather than a hassle. You don't come to Venice if you don't like boats/ water after all. 100% recommend.

This hotel is located in a fabulous island just 10 minutes far from Venice with the Vaporetto, completely in the green.|Price-value is OK. The staff changes often, is not at the desired level. Could not pay dinner with credit-card...!|My claim was treated in a dilettantic way. Will however return once more for the perfect location, but eat|somewhere else, if staff non changing.|

Very nice private island to stay, especially in sunny days don't miss it. Transportation is easy until 8 than arriving to island is easy but from island to main venice you need to transfer at lido. Anyway it's a unique experience

After the pressure and pandemonium of all the tourists in central Venice it was such a pleasure (10-15 mins in a Vaporetto) to be spending time at Certosa. They have a small hotel, bar, restaurant and a marina. Nothing else. No shops, no other houses. Just a large park, grass trees, birds and a few rabbits out grazing in the evening. All this just 15 mins from Piazza S Marco in central Venice. What a pleasure.||Restaurant is good.||Bar seems to be open all day and does bar snacks if that is what you wish to have.
