My partner and I had always wanted to visit Venice, and I decided to take her for a surprise birthday treat. I booked the hotel through Expedia - no problems there - and as it was a special occasion I got a private water taxi booked in advance via Venice Link (www.venicelink.com) to take us from the airport directly to...

We booked through Expedia and were upgraded to a room with a view of the Grand Canal, so that was a very good start. The terrace on the Grand Canal is a lovely place for an evening drink and breakfast. Our room was spacious, the bed was very comfortable, and the temperature was good. The good-sized bathroom was recently renovated... More

The Palazzo Stern deserves a medal in my book, if only because of their incredible customer service. Above and beyond. Let me explain. Just prior to our trip to Italy and Croatia, I pinched some spinal nerves and wound up barely able to walk. We almost canceled the trip, but I was somewhat mobile on a pair of crutches. So... More

Having looked forward to coming to Venice since I can remember and having to wait for our lads to grow up before we did, my expectations were extremely high. This hotel did not fail to deliver- it helped to ensure our experience was magical and so memorable. The location, exterior and interior were superb;the junior suite overlooking the Grand Canal...

I booked this hotel having read the excellent reviews on Trip Advisor. We were not disappointed. I took advantage of the Trip Advisor discount code when booking direct with the hotel. The reservations team were prompt and helpful as we're all the staff. We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful hotel. The location is perfect. You're away from the... More

An amazing hotel, renovated in 2008 usng antique archifacts and modern materials combined. The hotel was used to film scenes in the Italian Job 2 (not the Michael Caine version!) The rooms are modest size but with VERY high ceilings, complete with Murano glass chandeliers, beautiful curtains and lush wall coverings. The view of the Grande Canal from the terrace... More

We have just returned from a four night stay at the Palazzo Stern. This was our second stay at the Palazzo and it will certainly not be our last. The Palazzo Stern is one of the best kept secrets of Venice. It is a haven of peace in what can be a very busy City. We booked a Junior Suite... More

I have stayed at Palazzo Stern for three nights with my wife on our Venice romantic short-break. The reason that made me select this hotel were the very positive reviews read on tripadvisor. I booked with almost two months in advance directly on the hotel site, because there was a promotion valid for tripadvisor users, asking for a Deluxe double... More

This hotel is located directly on the Grand Canal, and has a gorgeous view. It was a little difficult to find at first; it is located down it's own side street near a water taxi stop, and is only accessible by either that one street or by the canal. The hotel itself is beautiful both inside and outside. There is... More
