Overview

 
Set in a beautifully restored palace right on Venice’s Grand Canal, Venezia Palazzo Barocci blends historic charm with polished boutique style. With just 59 rooms, attentive service and postcard-worthy canal views, it’s a refined base for exploring the city’s narrow calli, quiet campos and big-hitting sights like Rialto Bridge and St Mark’s Square on foot or by vaporetto.

Think elegant stuccoed ceilings, Murano-glass touches and contemporary Italian design, all framed by the slow glide of gondolas outside. Venezia Palazzo Barocci faces directly onto the Grand Canal beside Sant’Angelo boat stop, so you can step straight from the waterbus into one of Venice’s most photogenic neighbourhoods. For couples seeking Italy’s lagoon-side romance, Venezia Palazzo Barocci delivers the perfect balance of boutique comfort and unbeatable location. It’s around 30–40 minutes from Venice Marco Polo Airport by water transfer, with the Sant’Angelo stop just a few metres away. See more Italy holidays.

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.
