Ca' Messner 5 Leoni - An 18th-century Venice hotel with canal views, private dock, and Venetian cuisine

Situated in the artistic Dorsoduro district, this 2-star Venice hotel occupies three restored ancient mansions facing a charming canal. Ca' Messner 5 Leoni features a private pier, a heated garden, and direct gondola service to San Marco through the Grand Canal. The guestrooms come equipped with air conditioning, high-speed WiFi, flat-screen TVs, safety boxes, and premium bedding with pillow menus. A 24-hour front desk serves guests, while the on-site Messner Restaurant prepares seasonal Venetian recipes with a curated selection of Venetian and Friulan wines. The property maintains safety features including carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and first aid kits. Located within 0.5 miles of the Gallerie dell'Accademia and Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Ca' Messner stands a 10-minute walk from St. Mark's Square through the city's most prominent areas. Multiple dining options surround the hotel, including Bistro da Cici and Corner Pub within 0.3 miles.

Pros

Private dock with exclusive gondola service to San Marco

Heated garden for outdoor dining

Art advisor service available for guests

Located in the university district, surrounded by bistros and art galleries

Cons

1 mile from Rialto Bridge and main tourist attractions

Marco Polo Airport requires additional transit arrangements

“Ca' Messner 5 Leoni presents a paradox: while its location in the Dorsoduro area promises immersion in Venice's artistic heart, reports of significant disrepair and malfunctioning amenities undermine the experience. The prospect of gondola service and a canal-side setting are appealing, but guests should approach with caution given consistent accounts of rooms not matching expectations. For those prioritizing location and prepared to overlook potential maintenance issues, this hotel might suffice; however, travelers expecting a seamless stay may find it falls short.”
