Hotel Pausania - A 14th-century Venetian residence with garden views in artistic Dorsoduro
Set in a restored 14th-century aristocratic building, this 3-star Venice hotel welcomes guests with an Istrian stone staircase leading to a bright living room. The 24 rooms feature private bathrooms, minibars, LCD TVs, air conditioning, and complimentary Wi-Fi. A conservatory-style veranda overlooks the private garden, where breakfast is served daily. The ground floor houses a casual lounge that doubles as a bar, complete with a television and internet point. Pausania's location in Dorsoduro places it near San Barnaba canal and Ca' Rezzonico waterbus stop. The property stands between Accademia Galleries and Santa Margherita Square, with the Basilica di San Marco and Rialto Bridge both 1 mile away.
Pros
Original architectural features preserved from the 14th-century noble residence
Quiet location in the artistic Dorsoduro district away from main tourist crowds
Private garden provides a peaceful retreat
5-minute walk to Ca' Rezzonico waterbus stop
Cons

“This is a modest hotel in a prime location. The hotel's historic architecture and serene internal courtyard create a unique atmosphere. I especially appreciate its proximity to many local attractions and cultural experiences.”
