Hotel Canaletto - A historic 3-star Venice hotel in an 18th-century building with canal views near St. Mark's Square
Located in the San Lio area of Castello district, Hotel Canaletto occupies the former residence of 18th-century Venetian painter Antonio Canal. This 3-star Venice hotel features 38 rooms, including standard accommodations, superior rooms with canal views, and rooms overlooking traditional Venetian squares with wellheads. Each room comes equipped with air conditioning, WiFi, satellite TV, minibars, and private bathrooms with either showers or bathtubs. The property showcases Venetian-style furnishings, marble floors, and Murano glass chandeliers throughout its spaces. Guests can enjoy a daily breakfast buffet in stucco-decorated rooms featuring reproductions of Canaletto's masterpieces. The Rialto vaporetto stop is a 5-minute walk away, providing direct access to Santa Lucia train station and Piazzale Roma. Hotel Canaletto sits just 1640.4 ft from both the Rialto Bridge and St. Mark's Square.
Pros
Located in a quiet section of San Lio, away from tourist crowds
Traditional Venetian bacari (wine bars) in immediate vicinity
Historic building with authentic 18th-century Venetian atmosphere
Easy access to public water transportation
Cons
Some rooms face interior courtyards rather than canals
No on-site restaurant
“What struck me most is its location in San Lio, placing you right in the heart of Venice, yet somehow tucked away from the biggest crowds; being a short walk to both the Rialto Bridge and St. Mark's Square is a real advantage. I appreciate that the hotel occupies a building with its own story, once home to the painter Canaletto, and that it maintains a serene atmosphere, which, from what I gather, makes it an appealing base for exploring the city.”
