Palazzetto Foscari

An exquisite boutique hotel. Just three rooms. Superbly restored and modernised. On entry the impact is ‘wow’. Excellent location overlooking the Grand Canal. As much as the building is outstanding, it is the staff team that truly make your stay special. Charming, engaging and helpful throughout, always prepared to make your time in Venice the best it can be. Palazzetto Foscari is five star place to stay.

My husband and I had an incredible stay at this hotel on the Grand Canal in Venice. The accommodation was impeccably clean and the attention to detail was evident throughout. Despite its central location, it was the quietest hotel we've ever stayed in, offering a peaceful retreat after exploring the city. Highly recommend for a perfect Venetian experience!

Just returned from a 4 night stay at this small but stunning hotel. Situated next to Scalzi Bridge overlooking the Grand Canal. Everything is within easy walking distance. However the water bus station is very close. The train station is just over the bridge (4 mins walk) and if you prefer, a water taxi can drop you at the door of the hotel. Our room was spacious and immaculate. The air conditioning was perfect ( we never needed to adjust it). The bed was large and probably the comfiest we’ve ever had in a hotel. The views from the windows of our room were stunning in all directions. Everybody we had any interactions with at the hotel were very friendly and took time to offer advise and guidance. Nothing was too much trouble. From before we checked in to after we checked out, they were available to us. This trip was booked for me as a surprise for my birthday. I couldn’t have asked for anywhere better to stay. We had such a great time we’d love to return in the future. A special shout out to Brenno and Marie. They contributed to my surprise. They helped book a restaurant on our behalf. Provided arrival gifts for our room. Thank you also to Catolina for the beautiful flowers You all made us feel so welcome.

Pros: 1. The bnb was clean, stylish, and so exquisite in decoration taste. 2. Great view with the grand canal. (The deluxe suite) 3. The staff, especially Marie was friendly and helpful. All the restaurants and spots she recommened were FANTASTIC. Brenno, although I didn't meet in person, was friendly too and tried to solve my problems of our missed stay due to previous flight misconnection. 4. Breakfast is included, although they didn't specify on the booking page. The breakdast was made by staff at certain time. Basic but quite sufficient and delicious. Some improvements needed: 1. The reception/process of check-in: The instructions were very clear and the property was easy to find. I understand it is more a bnb-like stay instead of a hotel. However, it would be really nice and welcoming if the staff on-site could kindly go downstairs and help us open the door or greet us rather than we tried to look for who was the staff to confirm check-in process. We managed to get into the apartment and waited for like several minutes to finally meet Marie. (She's very nice though!) If the staff could give us some brief room tour of the room and public space or story of the property would be great too. 2. The daily cleaning of the room: The cleaning lady usually starts her work around 11 am, and there was one time she tried to open our door when we were still inside the room. I would suggest for a beforehand notification of cleaning time or let the guests choose cleaning time or make the daily cleaning optional. (If the guests are ok with it) 3. The tap water sign of deluxe room: The hot/cold sign on the tap was printed opposite, just a minor problem but fixing it would be much user-friendly. In all, it's a boutique stay in Venice with a splendid view and an easy access by public transportation. The property is well-maintained with an elevator and everything you need in the hotel. The staff were mostly friendly and helpful. Last thing to note, I left earlier on my last day, and I really appreciate that the fact they prepared early easy breakfast for us. Thank you!
