VECELLIO, Venice

Vecellio - Historic Venetian Hotel with Lagoon Views and Direct Ferry Access

Located in the heart of Cannaregio, this 3-star Venice hotel occupies a historic building once home to the 16th-century painter Tiziano Vecellio. The family-run Vecellio overlooks the islands of St. Michele, Murano, Burano, and Torcello, with select rooms offering views extending to the Dolomites on clear days. All rooms feature classic Venetian-style furnishings, wood or tiled floors, air conditioning, minibars, TVs, safes, and private bathrooms with bidets and hairdryers. The property includes a 24-hour reception, small lounge bar, and breakfast room with an on-site coffee shop. Public transportation links stop directly in front of the hotel, while the Fondamenta Nuove pier, serving ferries to Murano Island, stands 165 yards away. Key landmarks within 1-1 mile include the Rialto Bridge, St. Mark's Square, Bridge of Sighs, and Canal Grande.
