Residenza Rivo Alto - A Canal-View Guesthouse in San Marco with Period Furnishings

Located in the heart of San Marco, this 3-star Venice hotel features rooms overlooking scenic canals. Residenza Rivo Alto provides a free breakfast buffet serving eggs, cold cuts, croissants, yogurt, and cereal each morning. The property's elegant air-conditioned rooms come equipped with satellite flat-screen TVs, writing desks, wardrobes, kettles, and minibars. Each accommodation includes premium bedding, private bathrooms with complimentary toiletries, and free WiFi. Some units feature separate dining areas and seating spaces where guests can relax. The Rialto Vaporetto Water-bus Station stands 984.3 ft away, offering ACTV and ALILAGUNA-ORANGE LINE connections. Key landmarks within 1640.4 ft include Piazza San Marco, Bridge of Sighs, and Basilica di San Marco, while the Rivo Alto Residenza offers concierge service with restaurant recommendations and tourist information.

Pros

Six restaurants within 984.3 ft, including Da Mamo, Sepa, and Osteria Al Portego

Quadruple rooms feature two separate spaces with canal views

Classic period furniture and refined fabrics throughout

Direct views of the Venetian Lagoon

Cons

Venice Marco Polo Airport is 4 miles away

Some landmarks require longer walks, such as Basilica of St Mary of Health at 1 mile

“Residenza Rivo Alto's location, steps from the Rialto Bridge, is its undeniable asset; inside, the period furnishings attempt historical charm. However, reported issues with room cleanliness and maintenance, plus alleged scams, undermine its appeal, making it difficult to recommend despite the promise of a central Venice base.”
