HOTEL GIUDECCA VENEZIA, Venice

Hotel Giudecca Venezia sits on Giudecca Island, the largest island in the Venice lagoon. The hotel has a private dock where water taxis can drop guests directly at the entrance. Public transport is 250 meters away at the Palanca vaporetto stop, serving lines 2, 41 and 42.

The 30 rooms are divided into Classic and Superior categories, each with traditional Venetian furnishings and wood-beamed ceilings. Many rooms offer views of the Palada Canal through windows that open directly over the water. Each air-conditioned room has satellite TV, a minibar, and a private bathroom with slippers and hairdryer.

Breakfast is served as an extensive buffet with Italian and continental options in a glass-enclosed breakfast room that catches the morning sun. The buffet includes fresh fruit and a selection of local products, with eggs available to boil at a dedicated station. A lounge bar offers refreshments in an intimate setting for afternoon or evening drinks.

The 24-hour front desk provides concierge service with local information and assistance, plus express check-in and check-out. Free Wi-Fi is available in the public areas and cafe, and room service is offered during operating hours. Pets are allowed with an additional charge of €21 per day.
