Hotel Casa Petrarca - A 14th-century canal-side Venice hotel with classical music breakfasts and gondola views
Located along a quiet canal between St. Mark's Square and the Rialto Bridge, this historic Venice hotel occupies a 14th-century building in San Marco district. Hotel Casa Petrarca offers rooms with parquet flooring, original 1930s furniture, and views of typical Venetian canals or streets.

“Hotel Casa Petrarca sits quietly in San Marco, and that location provides a real advantage for exploring Venice. What stands out, though, is a dedication to service that seems rare these days, especially the kind of personal care that makes a trip seamless. For travelers who prioritize both location and genuine hospitality, this hotel distinguishes itself.”
