Hotel Canaletto - A historic 3-star Venice hotel in San Lio with Venetian-style rooms and canal views

Set in the former residence of 18th-century Venetian painter Antonio Canal (Canaletto), this 38-room Venice hotel occupies a prime location in the San Lio area of Castello district. The 3-star property features rooms decorated with Venetian furnishings, marble floors, and Murano glass chandeliers, offering views of either canals or traditional squares with wellheads. All accommodations include air conditioning, WiFi, satellite TV, minibars, and private bathrooms with showers or tubs. A daily breakfast buffet is served in stucco-decorated dining rooms adorned with reproductions of Canaletto's artworks. Hotel Canaletto sits just 5 minutes from both Rialto Bridge and St. Mark's Square. The nearby Rialto vaporetto stop connects directly to Santa Lucia train station and Piazzale Roma transportation hub.

Pros

Located in the former home of renowned painter Canaletto

Traditional Venetian bacari wine bars in immediate vicinity

Quiet location away from main tourist flows

Easy access to public transportation via Rialto vaporetto stop

Cons

No on-site restaurant

Some rooms face interior courtyard rather than canal

“In my opinion, this hotel stands out for its prime location between the Rialto Bridge and St. Mark's Square, making it ideal for exploring Venice. The Venetian-style decor and historical connection to Canaletto create an authentic atmosphere, enhanced by modern comforts. I particularly appreciate the attentive staff and the convenience of nearby water transportation, ensuring a seamless stay.”
