3-star historical hotel in central Venice, former home of painter Canaletto
Rooms & Decor
The hotel offers rooms decorated in 18th-century Venetian style with contemporary modern comfort. Some rooms overlook a typical Venetian square or a side canal. The building was once the residence of the 18th-century painter Canaletto, and his works are exhibited in the common areas.
Location & Access
Hotel Canaletto is 200 metres from the Rialto Bridge and within a 5-minute walk to St. Mark's Square and the Doge's Palace. The vaporetto water bus stop is a 5-minute walk away, connecting guests to Santa Lucia Station and the car parks of Tronchetto or Piazzale Roma. Rialto Bridge and St. Mark's Square are both reachable in under 5 minutes on foot.
Dining & Breakfast
A daily buffet breakfast is served in two elegant dining rooms. The breakfast includes barista-style coffees, pastries, cereals, fruits, cheeses, scrambled eggs, and bacon. In-room breakfast is available, and the staff can prepare breakfast bags for early departures.
Services & Practical Amenities
The 24-hour front desk offers express check-in/check-out, luggage storage, and concierge service. Staff provide assistance during high water events and can arrange private water taxis. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property.
Family & Accessibility
The hotel has family rooms and allergy-free rooms. Strollers and a shared lounge/TV area are available. There is no elevator, so guests with compromised mobility should request a ground-floor room when booking.

“What struck me most was the location tucked away in the San Lio area, offering a peaceful escape while still steps from the Rialto Bridge. The blend of 18th-century Venetian décor and modern comforts creates a uniquely immersive experience, as does the personalized breakfast service catering to individual needs. A genuine Venetian gem.”
