Hotel Santa Chiara - A 500-year-old monastery turned 4-star Venice hotel with private parking and Grand Canal views
Located in Santa Croce district, Hotel Santa Chiara occupies a historic building that served as an Orsoline sisters' nunnery five centuries ago. The 4-star Venice hotel features rooms with views of the Grand Canal, Rio Nuovo canal, Papadopoli Gardens, and Piazzale Roma square. Guest accommodations include premium bedding, pillow menus, air conditioning, free WiFi, and satellite flat-screen TVs. Some rooms offer balconies, while the Junior Suite Rooftop provides a 269 ft^2 terrace. The property serves continental and full breakfast options, including made-to-order eggs, fresh pastries, and classic combinations. Santa Chiara stands next to the ferry terminal and airport coach stop in Piazzale Roma, positioning guests within a 10-minute walk of museums like Ca' Rezzonico and churches including the Basilica dei Frari.
Pros
Only Venice hotel with private on-site parking
269 ft^2 rooftop terrace overlooking both Grand Canal and Rio Novo
Historic building combines monastery architecture with modern marble additions
Common areas showcase both modern and antique sculptures and paintings
Cons
Elevator only reaches third floor (fourth-floor rooms require stair access)
Some rooms face busy Piazzale Roma square
“Here's my take: this property stands out for its prime location at the entrance to Venice. Its unique advantage? Rare private parking in a city where cars are largely absent. From what I gather, guests consistently praise the staff's responsiveness and helpful suggestions-a crucial element for navigating Venice efficiently.”
