I was so impressed by the staff and their friendly welcoming of their guests. Nicola went above and beyond in making my husband's 50th birthday memorable. I recommend this place if you are looking to be treated like royalty!
I thank the hotel staff for all they did to make our stay comfortable and friendly.
I would recommend this hotel to my friends.
Beautiful rooms, sumptuous decoration, very luxurious. We had a balcony with a canal view. Location is superb - its own jetty on the Grand Canal, next to a vaporetto stop, and easy walking to the main sites (and off into the back streets). Very helpful and friendly staff.
Great rooms, really lovely decor. Right on the Canal, great views, fantastic staff
Fabulous 3 days there. Very central, so close to everything including water taxis, shops, restaurants and cultural events. Huge room which was quiet, very comfortable and overlooked the canal. It is, as it says, a boutique hotel for the discerning where the staff cannot do enough for you
The hotel is nicely situated right on the grand canal and is just a short walk to all the major sights. I would definitely recommend this hotel as the accommodations were spacious and clean and were decorated in a very typical Venetian style. Transportation from airport to hotel and then back again was pricey but it's the norm in Venice so you can shop around or book directly with the hotel through email. They respond very quickly!
A very good hotel
Forget "first" class, this place just has class. My favorite hotel of our tour in Italy. The front-desk staff is in stripped trousers and formal coats. I'm checking in wearing jeans and hiking boots and there wasn't even a sniff of disapproval. The staff is professional, gracious and warm. They could not have been better.
The rooms were in immaculate condition. We were fortunate to get the 2nd story room on the front of the hotel with the long balcony. (Check the picture on Google maps.) The view of the Grand Canal is spectacular.
You're right next to a "bus" stop on the Grand Canal. Walking the neighborhood around to hotel is gorgeous. Shopping is just blocks away. You can see the oldest bridge across the Grand Canal from the hotel.
Did I mention Bobby (the bartender) makes a killer martini? He'll serve it to you outside on the front "porch" (if you can find a seat).
Photographers: You want my room. (216 I *think*.) You can't quite see the sunrise (in September) but you can the sunset and the light is gorgeous all day long, reflecting off the buildings across the canal. The balcony is narrow and cramped (not enough room for a spread-out tripod) but the view!The light! I spent all my free time photographing boats, gondolas, seagulls and the water. Always the gorgeous water reflecting every facet of light and life, right if front of the hotel.)
People that know me (and my photography) know I hate flat land and cities. I want mountains and empty spaces Yet Venice stole my heart. The Hotel Palazzo Sant'Angelo was a big part of that. I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else in Venice.
Fantastic room, very comfy. Great service.
