Very friendly staff, very nice room. Tranquil and nice gardens at the back. Beautiful building. Quiet and peaceful, slept in late as it was very silent. The breakfast was definitely below standard for a supposedly five-star facility. The safe didn't work and neither did the fridge for the minibar. The location is perfect on Giudecca very close to the Vaporetto... More

My wife and I stayed here for our anniversary and the location, opposite San Marco, could not be more perfect. The complimentary shuttle boat crosses the water in no time and you arrive to a peaceful, beautiful hotel where the staff are friendly, willing, and charming. I would like to particularly thank Allesandra and Tatch - who are professional, warm,... More

Stayed here for four nights over Easter and was very happy with my choice. The hotel is on Giudecca island which is situated across the lagoon from San Marco and greatly benefits from being an oasis of calm from the mayhem of the tourist areas. The room was a duplex with a sitting room directly looking out over the lagoon... More

This hotel is "interesting" being a former "sanctuary for unmarried women of virtue". I found it dark and not inviting. The staff is fabulous and can't do enough for you. The rooms are large and are comfortable enough but there is a step up to the bathroom. In the middle of the night I didn't remember that step and fell... More

The view from Guidecca is wonderful - views over the water to St Mark's Square. The Palladio has a courtesy launch to the Bauer Palazzo and two minutes from the Palladio you will find the the Zitelle vaporetti stop. The atmosphere on Guidecca is very calm compared the main island. We had a lovely garden suite which very comfortable and... More

My wife and I have just returned from our fourth stay at this hotel. We were greeted as old friends and upgraded to a lagoon view room, which had fresh flowers and a bottle of Prosecco waiting for us. On each visit we have had at least one of our children along. The staff all looked after us very well,... More

We stayed here at the end of September for 4 night break in Venice. We travelled by Water Bus from the airport and just prcked up the free shuttle from the Palazzo. The service we received from the minute we entered the reception was amazing, they took us up to our room following a short tour of the hotel and... More

Initially the hotel does not seem ideally placed- on the opposite side of the lagoon from the tourist haven which is St Marks, but rather wonderfully; (1) the hotel provides a free water shuttle service (takes about 5 minutes) straight to St Marks every 20-30 minutes until midnight (2) there is a water bus service about 20 meters from the...

My wife and I stayed in the Bauer Palladio for our 29th Wedding Anniversary. We were upgraded to a room with a Lagoon view which was fantastic. The service and attention to detail could not be faulted and Simone the resident manager and his staff were extremely attentive and professional. We have stayed in Venice 5 times now and this... More
