Sweeping majestically over the Grand Canal, Hotel Palazzina Sardi is quintessence Venetian—gracious, intimate, and timeless. This small Venetian hotel near St. Mark's Square gives travelers a preferred look at the city's grandeur. With only a handful of rooms and suites, the hotel has been renowned for its discreet luxury, courteous service, and breathtaking canal views that recall Venice's romanticism.

Palazzina Sardi is set in a stunningly restored Venetian palazzo and provides the intimacy of a private residence with the sophistication of a luxury hotel. Guests are welcomed not only as visitors but as part of a tradition of hospitality founded on centuries of Venetian tradition.

Location and Accessibility

Hotel Palazzina Sardi has the fortune of an address along the dreamy Fondamenta del Vin, 4656, one of Venice's most dreamy canal fronts. It is centrally located, offering its visitors with readily available proximity to the most renowned city landmarks, yet positioned to enjoy the tranquility of the more sedate pace of the lagoon.

Within a short walking distance from the hotel is St. Mark's Square (Piazza San Marco), with the Basilica di San Marco, Doge's Palace, and Campanile Tower. The Rialto Bridge and the Teatro La Fenice are also an easy walk from the hotel, and the hotel is the ideal starting point for cultural sightseeing.

For convenience, the Rialto Vaporetto Stop is just a short walk away, providing guests with connectivity to the rest of Venice and to primary hubs like Santa Lucia Train Station and Venice Marco Polo Airport. Water taxis may moor in front of the hotel, providing guests with an opulent and convenient arrival.

History and Architecture

Palazzina Sardi is situated in a Venetian structure teeming with heritage, the façade opening onto the same canals that have connected the city for centuries. 

The structure is laid out using Renaissance aspects of architecture infused with refined modern restoration, retaining original stone finishes, arched windows, and ornament cornices with the addition of elements of modern comfort and style.

Inside, the interior design follows Venetian policy of modest opulence. Ceilings reach high, Murano glass chandeliers suspend and terrazzo floors bear witness to the city's artisan heritage. Warmth is present at every turn—from the cozy reception area to the artwork-lined corridors reminiscent of color and texture of the lagoon.

The balance between restoration and contemporary refinement ensures each visit is authentic and sumptuous.
