Foresteria Levi - A 14th-century palazzo guesthouse on the Grand Canal with exhibition spaces
Located in a historic palazzo in San Marco district, this 2-star Venice hotel occupies Palazzo Giustinian Lolin, which dates back to the 14th century and overlooks the Grand Canal opposite the Gallerie dell'Accademia. The airconditioned rooms at Foresteria Levi feature private bathrooms with rainfall showerheads, flat-screen TVs, minibars, and safes. A 24-hour front desk provides concierge services and tourist assistance. The property includes a business center and a meeting room. Guests can choose between sweet or savory breakfast options. Foresteria Levi stands a 10-minute walk from Saint Mark's Square and Rialto Bridge, with the Dorsoduro and Santa Margherita districts nearby. The location offers direct access to Calle XXII Marzo's luxury shopping street and the Bacari restaurant area.

“Staying in a 14th-century palazzo is an experience in itself, and this guesthouse doesn't disappoint, placing you steps from Venice's artistic heart. I particularly appreciate the blend of historic charm and modern updates, plus the family-friendly accommodations that still manage to feel peaceful. For travelers wanting to explore Venice's culture, it strikes me as a solid base.”
