We have just returned from a three night stay at this wonderful hotel.The room was of a good size light and bright overlooking the garden. The staff were great and really helpful. The two ladies who run breakfast were so lovely. The hotel is in a great location, opening up a totally new area of Venice to us. There are... More

We have just returned from Venice, having stayed at Palazzo Giovanelli. My general consensus is that it is a lovely hotel set on the canal. The decor and furnishings is a whole lot better than depicted in the images. The staff, not the most warm at first, can become quite friendly and I would even suggest helpful. I think it's... More

We stayed here in May 2013 for our anniversary trip – booked the junior suite with canal view (rm107) for 3 nights. Overall very impressed with the hotel and would recommend. The room we had is directly above the private landing jetty at the front of the hotel so we had a fantastic view of the Grand canal and the... More

First, the hotel, which I'd have given 4 dots if it had not been for the service. The hotel is next to a vaporetto stop, which means it is very noisy, very early in the morning. The breakfasts were fantastic. The decor looks better in the photos than in reality, especially the art on the walls. The evening room where... More

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights, we came off a cruise and treated ourselves to a water taxi to avoid massive queues for water buses. It was a treat to arrive at the front door on the grand canal, just as well as we would never have found it down the Venice streets. It was well situated for... More

My mom and I were staying in Venice for one night following a Mediterranean cruise. We had actually booked another hotel, but they had some problems and sent us to Palazzo Giovanelli. This hotel is very nice in an excellent location. Right on the Grand Canal and SO close to the San Stae stop. We also walked from the Rialto... More

This hotel in a restored palazzo is a great choice in the Santa Croce section of Venice. Beautiful, large, modern rooms at reasonable (for Venice) prices. Our package included breakfast which was the traditional Italian hotel/Agriturismo breakfast, with a small American touch of scrambled eggs, bacon, and sausage. Beautifully situated on the Grand Canal, it is a short vaporetto ride... More

This was an excellent hotel located on the Grand Canal. Very convenient to vaparetto and in easy walking distance to so many areas. The hotel was lively and well appointed. Our room was quite large. Breakfast was included and service was wonderful. Our only complaint was that it was too early for air conditioning. Our nights were warm.

Palazzo giovanelli is a lovely hotel facing gran canal and nearby San Sate vaporetto stop. Very good taste in decoration and spacious rooms. Breakfast a bit limited but does the job. The hotel is located a bit away from St Marco square, which means that you have to get the vaporetto to move around. However, being away from the main... More
