Hotel Palazzetto Madonna

We knew the hotel’s last cation would be perfect for us, and realised you want to book a garden room, not a canal room, if you seek a quiet stay. Staff in the very small reception area proved efficient, but it was Valentina in this team who exuded warmth and welcome and seemed supportive of us as individual travellers. The lift is curiously basic, but does its job between two floors . Our room was opulently decorated (rococo in a fulsome vein) and was spacious with good furniture and lighting. The electrically closing curtains were an impressive convenience. Our bathroom was also spacious and with good fitments. We do d not sleep well the first night as the bed/mattress was very uncomfortably hard (as mentioned by some other guests), but the housekeeping team were wonderfully positive and supportive the next day, placing a layer of thin duvets under the bottom sheet to create a much softer “topper”. We then slept well. This helpfulness was also shown by the breakfast team who were cheerful and could never do enough for you. In several decades of visiting Venice we have never enjoyed such a varied and generous breakfast offer, far beyond the customary bare buffet. We also loved the spirit of hospitality shown by the hotel’s friendly tradition of offering a glass menu f very good Prosecco to guests each evening. It started the adventure of the night in a very pleasing way!

What a lovely hotel. Comfy, well decorated room. Great location to explore Venice. Friendly and helpfull staff. Would highly recommend.

A very beautiful hotel in a great location. Room was very quiet and the shutters blocked out all the light! The decor is amazing throughout the hotel. Slight noise from outside when people started using delivery trolleys in the morning but I think you would find this anywhere! Staff were very friendly and breakfast was lovely. It was about a 10 minute walk to the train / bus station, 10 minutes to Rialto Bridge and 20 minutes to St. Mark’s Square. We would definitely stay here if we return to Venice.

Although the location and rooms are nice, beware that the hotel staff will try to scam you. The front desk will recommend and make reservations at unpopular restaurants to get a kickback from the restaurant. Also if they call a water taxi for you, they want payment at the hotel in cash for the taxi so they can pocket the extra $10 euros. If you book here, there are 3 restaurants steps away that are absolutely delicious. If you need a water taxi, call your own and save $10 euros.

It was no frills – dark and gloomy chandelier had a broken lightbulb in it, and we were told to just be careful and not touch it. This was very inconvenient as it was a bedside sconces. Absolutely no frills and for the cost not worth it.

After going through reviews on Trip Advisor we decided to book a short stay at the Palazetto Madonna in Venice. This was a great decision and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this small but quaint establishment. It is located a short walk from the San Tomà Vaporetto stop point and its central location makes walking to St Marks Square both enjoyable and interesting. Our room was spacious and typically Venetian with an extremely modern bathroom. A coffee machine, kettle and fridge were also provided in the room. The staff were all helpful and courteous but some of them battled with English. If you are looking for a small, excellent hotel in Venice then the Palazetto Madonna could be a great choice. We had a fantastic stay and would not even consider staying elsewhere on our return to Venice.

Everything was great. Lots of variety at the breakfast, free prosecco from 5-7pm was a nice touch. Staff was friendly and helpful.

This property is in a great location -abit away from the crowds but close to great restaurants and not far from St Marks Sq. The service was great

Such a beautiful hotel! The staff were excellent. The continental breakfast was delicious every morning. Would highly recommend this hotel to others.

Palazzetto Madonna is a true hidden gem in Venice. The hotel can be reached directly by private water taxi—a big plus for convenience. I highly recommend booking the water taxi in advance; it’s about €80 from the train station, but well worth the splurge for couples or if you’re traveling with heavy luggage.

The rooms have a vintage charm and are beautifully kept, with clean beds and great housekeeping. We stayed in Room 6, right next to the breakfast area. At first, we were worried about potential noise, but the soundproofing was excellent—we didn’t hear a thing. A special perk of Room 6 is that it opens to the garden courtyard; we even enjoyed the morning rain with the door open, which felt magical.

Breakfast was quick and nice, setting us up for the day. The biggest surprise? The hotel is right next to two of the best restaurants in Venice, which made dining incredibly easy. We also loved that it’s tucked away from the busy bridges and squares, offering peace and quiet at night. Just keep in mind that walking back takes about 25 minutes from Rialto, and some alleys are unlit, so a little extra caution is needed.

The nearest water taxi stop is only a 3-minute walk, perfect for exploring different parts of the city. The only minor inconvenience is that there isn’t an ironing board in the room—you’ll need to go to the first floor where they’ll set one up for you.

Overall, this hotel is perfect for couples who want a romantic, authentic Venetian stay away from the crowds. I would definitely come back again.

Uno que otro detalle. Habían mosquitos dentro del cuarto. Las sábanas no estaban limpias. En cuanto al lugar está bien ubicado.

Loved the staff♥️

Great stay. Great staff, wonderful location. Small rooms.

Our stay was good and the hotel was lovely, if we had one complaint it was that our window didnt have a view apart from a brick wall of a nearby building.

The garden where we had breakfast was very well kept everything was very nice. The people were wonderful very helpful. Water taxi was right outside our door available to us easy traveling from bus to water bus
From airport bus line number five take to the end pick up a water taxi to S Toma line one or two

Excellent service from the staff! They even helped us book airport water taxi.

Room shows its age and was infested with mosquitoes. I left with numerous bites all over my face and body. The staff asked on more than one occasion why I was travelling alone, which I found intrusive and rude.

Excellent location and fantastic buffet breakfast

Breakfast was good, room was smaller than expected and pretty hot.

Very beautiful hotel. We had very romantic stay and all stuff members were very nice. AMIN was outstanding. Did our reservations. Booked complementary tour to Murano. We will recommend thos hotel to all our friends.
