Map & location
Venice City, Venice, Italy
Staying at Venezia Palazzo Barocci places you in the heart of Venice proper, within the San Marco area and directly on the Grand Canal. Step outside and you’re moments from Sant’Angelo vaporetto stop, making it easy to glide up to Rialto, down to the lagoon, or out towards the islands.
St Mark’s Square, the Basilica and the Doge’s Palace are an easy stroll away, while the iconic Rialto Bridge lies just across the water. Away from the main landmarks, you’re also well placed to explore quieter neighbourhood canals, artisan boutiques and characterful bacari wine bars.
- Approx. transfer time from airport 30–40 minutes by water taxi or shared waterbus from Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE), depending on service and connections.
Facilities
Pool & outdoors
There is no pool or beach at Venezia Palazzo Barocci – this is classic city Venice, where the water is the Grand Canal itself. Instead of sunloungers, the focus is on views and atmosphere: watch gondolas drift past, nip over to the nearby vaporetto stop for lagoon cruises, or head out to the Lido by boat if you fancy combining sightseeing with a day on the sand.

• Refined lounge and lobby areas in the former palace
• Atmospheric bar overlooking the canal or internal courtyard
• 24-hour reception and concierge for restaurant bookings, opera tickets and gondola tours
• Luggage storage for early arrivals/late departures
• Lift access to most floors
There is no on-site spa or gym, but the concierge team can often recommend nearby wellness options or arrange in-room treatments with local partners, subject to availability and local charges.

Food & drink
Start the day Venetian-style with a quality buffet breakfast, usually featuring fresh pastries, breads, cold cuts, cheeses, fruit and hot options, all served in an elegant breakfast room or on a small terrace when the weather allows. Later on, the hotel’s cosy bar is a handy spot for an aperitivo or nightcap before you wander back along the canals.
Venice is famous for its food scene, and the hotel’s central location means you’re never far from cicchetti bars, classic trattorie and more refined lagoon-front restaurants – ideal if you prefer to dine out locally while staying Bed and Breakfast or Room Only.
