A unique location, overlooking the Grand Canal, Palazzo Barocci emerges like a gem amongst the streets and alleys of the city. Originally built in the 1300s as a domus maioris, this building became Teatro Sant’Angelo in 1676 and was first transformed into a private home and then into a hotel. Palazzo Barocci is the story of an unforgettable part of Venetian history: that of concerts and premieres, that of musicians, writers and immortal characters like Vivaldi and Goldoni.

My husband had a business trip to Milan and we decided to tag on a day in Verona and then 3 days in Venice. I searched for a room overlooking the Grand Canal when we learned that it was the start of Carnavale, so we could see the boat parade from our room. There were only a few rooms left that met our criteria. I settled on one, but before I could book it, it was gone. Palazzo Barocci was the only other room I could find overlooking the canal, but this would hands down be my first choice should we ever return. The hotel itself is in an elegant building away from the tourist streets and in a quiet area. The Valporetto stop is literally on the doorsteps of the hotel. Our junior suite room was huge and well appointed, with ample storage. Our view of the boat parade could not have been more perfect and incredible. One evening we happened to walk by the hotel that was our first choice. It was near the Ponte di Rialto bridge and surrounded by hoards of tourists, load music, and mediocre restaurants. Clearly, fate intervened on our behalf when it came to the hotel booking.

We loved that this hotel was located right on the Grand Canal. Even though our room didn’t overlook the canal, we appreciated that a vaporetto (water bus) stop was right outside the front entrance. Our room was quiet and large enough for our belongings but was a bit too warm for us so we opened the windows for an hour or two each night before we turned in. Our bathroom has a few things to mention. The tub/shower required a large step up to enter and exit it which might be difficult for some. Also, the bath towels were stored on a very high shelf in the shower which was too high for some people. We hung up our towels for reuse each day, but housekeeping replaced them anyways. There was a pillow menu available, but we were happy with the ones provided in the room. We ate breakfast each morning at the restaurant buffet which had a good selection of cold items. Hot drinks and scrambled eggs only (no omelets) could be ordered from the waitress.

The hotel is in a perfect location in Venice, right on the water. If you like taking the water taxis around they will pick you up right in front of the hotel, convenient. I would say to be careful of certain restaurants that say they canter to tourists but in reality, they would rather not have you there. The experience was so bad I had forgotten the name of the place, sorry for that.

My mother and I had to stay at this hotel because our airline canceled our flight. We paid 833.00 euros for a room called "Superior with Partial View". This room was barely big enough for one person. We arrived at 10am, and were made to wait until 1pm for our room. We wound up checking out at 5:30am to catch our rescheduled flight. This would all have been fine as everything was last minute and you expect to be ripped off even though you are traveling we an 80-year-old with mobility issues. But the attitude of the front desk was atrocious and very cold. We weren't offered water or coffee at any point. We were not permitted to wait in the "lounge" because they were storing all the early arrivers luggage in there. When we were finally shown to our room, we were grateful that our luggage was transported for us. The bathroom was very tiny and the living space was ridiculous. It did have a partial view of the Grand Canal which was lovely. They also arranged a water taxi for us the next morning, which was appreciated. The overnight front desk gentleman was very polite, friendly and helpful. During the afternoon I went out for some food for my mom who was not up for walking. When we finished and headed outside, I asked the front desk if I could leave the packaging with them because I did not want to leave food in the room. They said "you should bring it outside to throw away". I plan to visit Venice again soon and will definitely not stay here.

We had a 3 night stay at this lovely hotel. Initially we were concerned re the size of our room but realised that in Venice this is normal. Other than that we loved everything about our stay. The hotel is stylish and modern. The location is excellent- walkable to Piazza San Marco and very close to Rialto. There is a waterbus station outside the front door of the hotel which is so convenient. The breakfast is really good and the outdoor terrace is beautiful. In the evenings we had a drink at the rooftop bar before bed and it was the perfect way to end the day. The staff were so attentive and helpful. Katrin in the rooftop bar was the sweetest. No hesitation in recommending this lovely hotel.
