Palazzo Barocci

Recently stayed for 3 nights. Hotel was in a great location. Stepped off waterbus next to front door of hotel. Easy walking distance to main attractions. Hotel staff were very helpful and pleasant and helped with knowledge on how to get to various places. Breakfast had plenty of choice and constantly replenished. Room was excellent. Would certainly recommend.

We have just returned from a five day’s stay at the Palazzo Barocci hotel in Venice. It is a very special hotel and we loved staying there. The location is great, right in the historic centre and near to everything you would wish to visit; the Rialto Bridge, San Marco Square, the Bridge of Sighs and the Peggy Guggenheim gallery and many other galleries and museums. One of the biggest benefits is that the San Angelo Vaporetto ferry stop is right outside the hotel. We did not see any other hotel that had this facility. We were able to visit Murano island and see the famous glass workshops. We visited the Wave glass factory which allowed you into the works to see first hand Murano glass products being made. Amazingly it was free of charge! Burano Island is also worth a visit. Breakfast is super and made to order in addition to a buffet of fruit, pastries and lots more. The staff are so very friendly and helpful and a special thanks and recognition needs to go to Christina in the restaurant. The young man who was on duty in the afternoon until 2300 each day (25 March – 29 March 2025) was so very helpful with great tips on where to visit and eat and how to use the Vaporetto. I apologise that I did not get his name but he will know who he is. The room was excellent. A very comfy bed and linen and the room was cleaned every day to a high standard. Fresh bottles of water were left every day. Overall an excellent quality four star hotel and we recommend it highly.

The bar manager Martia is the absolute best and the drinks are delicious and very reasonably Priced compared to other places In Venice. This hotel and bar has incredible views and is extremely clean. How could anyone not want an amazing view of the grand canal at a very affordable price

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.
