Palazzo Antoniazzi

Palazzo Antoniazzi Overview

You know what struck me first about Palazzo Antoniazzi? The way the afternoon light hits those weathered stone facades – honestly, it’s the kind of detail that makes you stop mid-stride and just stare. I mean, Venice has plenty of historic buildings, but this 4-star gem has something extra, this quiet dignity that doesn’t scream for attention like some of the flashier hotels along the main tourist routes.

The thing about staying here is that you’re getting that authentic Venetian palazzo experience without the stuffiness that sometimes comes with these converted historic properties. The staff actually remembers your name after the first day (rare in a city this busy), and they’ve got this knack for timing – appearing when you need directions or restaurant recommendations, but never hovering. I loved how they’d casually mention which water bus routes to avoid during rush hour, or suggest taking the longer route back from San Marco just because the evening light is better along certain canals. Those are the insights you can’t get from guidebooks.

What really sets this place apart though is how it feels like you’re staying in someone’s carefully preserved family home rather than a hotel. The rooms have that perfect balance – period details that make you feel the history, but modern comfort where it actually matters. The beds are properly comfortable (not always a given in historic properties), and the bathrooms work the way they should. I actually slept better here than I have at much more expensive places – maybe it’s because you’re tucked away from the main pedestrian thoroughfares, so you get that peaceful Venice vibe instead of the constant chatter of tourists passing by your window. The morning routine became this lovely ritual of opening the shutters to see what the weather was doing over the canal, planning the day without feeling rushed.

The location is honestly perfect if you want to experience Venice like someone who actually lives here rather than just checking off the major sights. You’re close enough to everything that matters, but far enough from the crowds that you can find a decent café for your morning coffee without queuing behind fifty other visitors. I found myself taking different routes back each evening just to explore the neighborhood – there’s this wonderful feeling of discovery when you’re staying somewhere that locals still consider part of their daily Venice rather than tourist Venice, if that makes sense. With a perfect rating of 10, you’d expect everything to be flawless, and honestly, it pretty much is – but in an understated way that feels earned rather than engineered.

Palazzo Antoniazzi Accommodations

Reviews of Palazzo Antoniazzi

• Friedrich from Switzerland – 19 February 2025 (9/10)

  Gute Lage, Parkplatz , Gute Ausstattung Wohnung

• Margherita from Australia – 3 January 2025 (8/10)

  Exceptional location close to the city centre and the station but with a nice neighbourhood feel. Everything walking distance.
  Friendly owner, accommodated an additional child in the booking.
  
  What could be improved: Paper-thin walls, you could hear the upstairs neighbours throughout the night, including banging on the walls and more. It would have been nice if shampoo and conditioner were provided and if it was possible to adjust the heating temperature (19.5C probably too warm overnight)

• Mikhail from Germany – 30 November 2024 (10/10)

  The owner greeted us very warmly and told us many things about the city. The apartment is well equipped, clean and well maintained. It was a wonderful stay.

• Danny from United Kingdom – 1 October 2024 (10/10)

  Beautiful spacious apartment, spotlessly clean and well-equipped. Good proximity to train station and city is walkable (20 mins). Richi is a great host and provided lots of useful information about restaurants, sights and transportation. Would definitely book this property again on a future visit.

  What could be improved: None

• Anna from United Kingdom – 5 August 2024 (8/10)

  Very helpful host, nice area, clean, spacious apartment with lots of tea / coffee / water. Also a nice touch was a few supplies to purchase e.g wine, beer.
  
  What could be improved: No aircon in bedrooms – they both need a fan. Nowhere to hang anything in one bedroom – need some pegs or a rail with hangers.

• Ivan from Croatia – 17 July 2024 (10/10)

  Generalno sve je bilo na visokoj razini. Teško je izdvojiti što je bilo najbolje. Ljubazan i profesionalan domaćin, vrhunska lokacija i prostran apartman.

• Ghalyah from Saudi Arabia – 18 June 2024 (10/10)

  What could be improved: Nothing

• Grzegorz from Poland – 5 May 2024 (10/10)

  We highly recommend the place and the host. Everything was so great.
  The apartment is exactly as on the pictures. It was very clean, beds were very comfortable. The whole apartment was lately renovated. The kitchen was fully equipped. In the fridge we found few bottles of wine that we could buy – the prices were written on the bottles. There was coffee express with coffee capsules and moka with great coffee. The host gave us also several bottles of water so we didn’t have to go to the store right after check in.
  We could park our car in the host’s private garage.
  The place is near the old town and railway station.
  The host was very nice and helpful. When we needed something, he was ready to help us and give us some advice. He recommended us many restaurants, bars, museums and other place to visit.
  
  What could be improved: Everything was great.
