Hotel Al Piave - A Family-Run Historic Venice Hotel with Gluten-Free Certification
Located in the heart of Venice's historical Castello district, Hotel Al Piave occupies a restored historic building that began as Osteria Locanda Al Piave in 1945. This 3-star Venice hotel stands near Campo Santa Maria Formosa, just 0.5 miles from St. Mark's Square and 0.3 miles from Libraria Aqua Alta. The property features rooms overlooking either a private courtyard or the quiet Via Rugagiuffa, with some rooms showcasing original frescoes. Each accommodation includes air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, mini-bars, and electric kettles. Al Piave holds certification from the Italian Celiac Association (AIC), serving extensive gluten-free breakfast options including toasted bread, pastries, cereals, and savory items. The San Zaccaria vaporetto stop provides direct access via water shuttle from Marco Polo Airport, while Piazza San Marco lies within a 10-minute walk.

“A family-run hotel near St. Mark's Square, it stands out for its dedication to guest needs, particularly those requiring gluten-free options; family suites accommodate larger groups comfortably. Though somewhat hidden, its location balances proximity to major sites with a quieter atmosphere. I find this property especially suitable for families or couples seeking a personalized experience.”
