Hotel Palazzo Giovanelli e Gran Canal

Palazzo Giovanelli is incredibly well located in S. Polo, the heart of Venice on the Grand Canal. Facilities very good, we were upgraded to a new room, with a great marble bathroom. Giovanelli breathes the old flair of the lagoon city, which is missing in many touristy parts of the city. Cafés and bars at good prices and used by the locals round off the intimate flair. Rialto is within easy walking distance, if you absolutely need the crowded St. Mark's Square in August, you are also there (vaporetto in front of the door). Many real sights on the doorstep (like Antonio Canova's tomb). top Additional info, for the Austrian and musicologist: W. A. Mozart and his father lived for 4 months as guests in the Palazzo Giovanelli. Cool. We will be back.

Really nice once you get into the property. A little tricky to find. Breakfast was great and the staff were so nice. Our room was huge, a little odd but it worked.

Beautiful decor. Perfect location for walking wherever we needed to go. Staff were superbly helpful without being too much in your space.

great varity for breakfast, comfortable service overall friendly and helpfull staff superb location at the chanel, directly next to watertaxi stop

I loved the location, on the Grand Canal, but also close to many of Venice’s quieter, more family-centered neighborhoods. The room - with a lateral view of the canal, was wonderful - comfortable but elegant, and exceptionally quiet even though it looked out on the San Stae vaporetto stop. The bathroom was excellently appointed as well, with tub-shower, toilet, and bidet. The served breakfast (included in the price we paid) was spectacular, as was the coffee. The baker of the delicious pastries was always on hand, offering up additional treats. The wait staff were friendly, multi-lingual, and attentive. I would go back in a minute!
